Subsequently, order in respect of recovery of balance amount was also passed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above background, the present application had been filed seeking quashing of the subsequent orders and the entire proceedings of the execution case.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Crux of the matter<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Order under Section 125(1) CrPC having been passed, the proceedings for enforcement of the order initiated under Section 128 of the Code pursuant to the application would be barred by limitation being beyond the period of one year from the date of order under Section 125(1).<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Question for consideration<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whether the limitation prescribed under proviso to Section 125(3) would be applicable in respect of proceedings under Section 128 of the Code?<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Analysis and Discussion<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court noted that in Supreme Court\u2019s decision of <em>Kuldip Kaur v. Surinder Singh<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/CJiMEFEp\">(1989) 1 SCC 405<\/a>, considered the distinction between the mode of enforcing recovery on the one hand and effecting actual recovery of the amount of monthly allowance which had fallen in arrears on the other, in the context of Sections 125(3) and 128 of the Code.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the above-referred decision, it was held that,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201c\u2026sentencing a person to jail as per terms of Sections 125(3) of the Code is a \u2018mode of enforcement\u2019 and not \u2018mode of satisfaction\u2019 of the liability, which can be satisfied only by making actual payment of the arrears.\u201d<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The provisions contained under Section 125(3) of the Code and the first proviso thereto again came up for consideration in <em>Poongodi v. Thangavel<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/JZ1268RG\">(2013) 10 SCC 618<\/a>, and it was held that the first proviso to Section 125(3) does not create any bar or fetter on claiming arrears of maintenance and it neither extinguishes nor limits entitlement to arrears of maintenance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court observed that,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The proceedings for maintenance under Section 125 of the Code are of a summary nature and the purpose and object of the same is to provide a simple and speedy remedy, and to ensure that the deserted wife, children and parents are not left destitute and without any means for subsistence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, the Court added that,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The provisions contained under Section 125(3), as aforesaid, would indicate that the issuance of warrant or the imprisonment of the person concerned, is only a mode of recovery of the amount due in terms of the order made under sub-section (1) to Section 125 for payment of monthly allowance. The mode of recovery by issuance of a warrant or by imprisonment of the person as per terms of Section 125(3), has been held distinct from actual satisfaction of the liability.<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>Mode of Enforcing has been held to be not a Mode of Satisfaction<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The purpose of imprisonment would not be to wipe out the liability which a person has refused to discharge; the imprisonment of the person concerned being in no way a substitute for the recovery of the amount of monthly allowance which has fallen in arrears.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, elaborating the provision, Court added that Section 125(3) of the Code circumscribes the power of the Magistrate to impose imprisonment for a term which may extend to one month or until the payment, if sooner made. The first proviso to Section 125(3) prescribing limitation of one year to seek recovery of arrears of maintenance, is only in respect of the procedure for recovery of maintenance as per terms of the sub-section, by construing the same to be a levy of fine.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Section 128 of the Code provides for enforcement of the order of maintenance against the person against whom the order of maintenance has been made.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>Limitation<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The entitlement to claim enforcement of the order of maintenance under Section 128 by seeking discharge of the liability as per terms of the order of maintenance granted under Section 125, therefore cannot be held to be extinguished in terms of the one-year limitation prescribed under the first proviso to Section 125(3), High Court noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bench further referred to the decision of <em>Dwarka Prasad v. Dwarka Das Saraf<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/4MhkFMQb\">(1976) 1 SCC 128<\/a>, with regard to the scope of a proviso as an internal aide to the interpretation of statutes. In the said decision it was held that a proviso must be limited to the subject matter of the enacting clause and must be read and considered in relation to the principal matter to which it is a proviso.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cSection 125 (3) of Code would have to be held to be confined to the Section which precedes it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Hence, the limitation of one year provided in terms thereof would have to be read in relation to issuance of a warrant for recovery of an amount due in terms of an order of maintenance passed under sub-section (1) of Section 125. The aforesaid limitation of one year under the proviso to Section 125 (3) cannot be held to travel beyond or stretch to an extent so as to being within its ambit the powers relating to enforcement of an order of maintenance under Section 128 of the Code.<\/span><strong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, concluding the decision, Court held that the proceeding for the enforcement of the order under Section 128 cannot be assailed on the ground that the same would be barred by limitation as provided under the proviso to Section 125(3) of the Code<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above discussion, present application failed and was dismissed.
