Thereafter, she again returned to her matrimonial house and lived there for ten days and filed a complaint against her husband under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561850\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">498-A<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">323<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">504<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">506<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penal Code, 1860<\/a> (&#8216;IPC&#8217;) and Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546433\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3<\/a> read with Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001546434\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002808049\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thereafter, the husband filed a suit under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001543765\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">9<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726956\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hindu Marriage Act, 1955<\/a> (&#8216;HMA&#8217;) for restitution of conjugal right, which is still pending. It was submitted that during the pendency of this case, the wife filed an application under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">125<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC.<\/a>, which was allowed by the court below without considering the facts that application under Section 9 HMA moved by the husband is still pending. The Trial Court failed to consider that the wife left her in-laws house without valid reason and was residing at her parental house since 2016. Further, it was submitted that she is a graduate, teaching in a school and earning sufficient money, thus she can maintain herself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The husband further submitted that he and his family members are dependent on the agriculture income, and he is doing labour work, and except that he has no source of income. Thus, the husband placed reliance on Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">125(4)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC.<\/a>, which provides that the wife is not entitled for any allowance from her husband if she is living in adultery or living separately without any sufficient reason.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Per contra, the wife submitted that her husband&#8217;s monthly income is about Rs.50,000\/- per month, from his salary, the business of milk and milk products and from agricultural land. It was also submitted that impugned judgment passed by the Trial Court is in accordance with law, as she has been banished from her matrimonial house due to demand of dowry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court said that there is clear evidence on the record that the husband is a healthy man and can earn money and is liable to maintain his wife. Placing reliance on <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Anju Garg<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Deepak Kumar Garg<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/4KdbHeoQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2022 SCC OnLine SC 1314<\/a>, the Court said that even if it was presumed that the husband has no income from his job or from rent of Maruti Van, even then he is duty bound to provide maintenance to his wife. Further, if he engaged himself in labour work too, then also he may earn as an un-skilled laborer about Rs.350\/- to Rs.400\/- per day as a minimum wage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Concerning the submission of husband that the wife is living in adultery, the Court said that no evidence is produced during trial that the wife is living in adultery. Also, if the husband wants to show the wife is living in adultery, he can move application under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519357\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">127<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC<\/a> for adequate relief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court said that while going through all the liabilities towards husband&#8217;s family and looking at his assets, awarded very meager amount of Rs. 2000\/- per month from the date of application and the arrears of maintenance are directed to be paid in five easy quarterly equal installments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Kamal v State of U.P, Criminal Revision No. 461 of 2023, Order dated 25-01-2024<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case :<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Counsel for Revisionist:<\/span> Advocate Arjun Singh Somvanshi<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Counsel for Opposite Party:<\/span> Government Advocate Salma Bano, Advocate Shresth Agarwal<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #000080;\">Buy Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebcwebstore.com\/product_info.php?products_id=1031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebcwebstore.com\/product_info.php?products_id=1031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Code of Criminal Procedure\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-294422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure.jpg 886w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/code-of-criminal-procedure-60x40.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #000080;\">Buy Penal Code, 1860 &nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebcwebstore.com\/product_info.php?products_id=1158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebcwebstore.com\/product_info.php?products_id=1158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"penal code, 1860\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-294601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860.jpg 886w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-60x40.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">Allahabad High Court said that no evidence is produced during trial that the wife is living in adultery.
