ORDER
Dated this the 14th day of June, 2022
This revision is filed challenging an order passed by Family
Court, Kozhikode in Crl.M.P. Nos.1/2021, 2/2021, 3/2021 and
4/2021. An ex parte order was passed in M.C. No.366/2018 on
10.03.2020 directing the revision petitioner to pay monthly
maintenance allowance at the rate of Rs.10,000/- to his wife and
Rs.3,500/- and Rs.3,000/- respectively to his minor children.
2. The revision petitioner has moved Crl.M.P. Nos.1/2021
and 2/2021 seeking to condone the delay and to set aside the ex
parte order. On 12.01.2022 Crl.M.P. No.1/2021 was allowed by
the Family Court on condition to pay Rs.50,000/- on 21.01.2022.
The revision petitioner failed to pay Rs.50,000/- as directed by
the Family Court. Thereupon the Family Court passed orders
dismissing Crl.M.P. Nos.1/2021 and 2/2021. Now the grievance
of the revision petitioner is that an arrest warrant was issued
against him by an order passed in C.M.P. No.165/2020 in M.C.
No.366/2018 filed by the respondents and that is pending R.P.(FC) No. 145 of 2022
execution. According to the learned counsel, revision petitioner
is ready to deposit Rs.50,000/- as directed by the Family Court
provided, time is enlarged.
3. This Court has noticed that the Order in Crl.M.P.
Nos.1/21 and 2/21 were passed on 12.01.2022 and the
petitioners were granted time for deposit of Rs.50,000/- till
21.01.2022. The petition on hand is filed on 09.05.2022. The
petitioner failed to approach the Family Court seeking for
enlargement of time to make payment of Rs.50,000/-. Only
when an arrest warrant was issued, he rushed to this Court with
the petition on hand, seeking for enlargement of time.
4. Interest of justice demands grant of opportunity of
being heard in a matter affecting his rights and payment having
been undertaken to be made, this Court is inclined to enlarge
time for payment.
In the result, revision petition is allowed and ten days' time
is granted to the revision petitioner for payment of Rs.50,000/-
to the 1st respondent and to file a memo evidencing such
payment before the Family Court. Time is granted till R.P.(FC) No. 145 of 2022
24.06.2022. Further extension of time will not be granted.
Execution of the arrest warrant issued will be kept in abeyance
till 24.06.2022. If payment is made on or before 24.06.2022,
the Family Court shall recall the arrest warrant. Annexures 3
and 4 orders shall stand set aside and orders passed in
Annexures 1 and 2 shall stand restored on payment of
Rs.50,000/- and production of receipt evidencing such payment.
On deposit of Rs.50,000/- being made, the Family Court shall see
that the same is released to the 1st respondent on appropriate
application being filed by her.
