K RADHAKRISHNAN Vs. RANI ALIAS ELIYARANI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The petitioner/husband has filed the revision aggrieved against the order passed in CRP No. 87/97 by the learned II Additional Sessions Judge, Salem, reversing the order dated 31-5-1994 in M.C. No. 8/94 on the file of learned Judicial Magistrate IV Salem.

(2.) The case in brief is as follows :-

(3.) Learned counsel for the respondent stated that there is absolutely no evidence to show that the respondent is leading an adulterous life with one Jayaraman. Even assuming that the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent ended in divorce, according to the custom, she is entitled to claim maintenance as long as she has not remarried. If, however, she is leading an adulterous life, it is always open to the petitioner to move the Court for cancellation of the order of maintenance.
