State Of Bihar And Anr Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) We have heard learned counsel for the parties.

(2.) The petitioner had applied for maintenance under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Trial Judge had awarded maintenance of Rs. 4,000/- per month.

(3.) Feeling aggrieved, the respondent-husband preferred revision petition in the High Court. By the impugned judgment and order dated 17.12.2014, the High Court observed that the Trial Court has not given the finding that the petitioner was unable to fend for herself, therefore, she is not entitled for maintenance.
