SANJAY KUMAR Vs. SUNITA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) B. K. Rathi, J. This is a criminal revision under Section 397/401, Cr. P. C. against the order dated 7-1-1998 passed by Judge, Family Court, Meerut by which he awarded the maintenance of Rs. 400 per month to respondent No. 1 and Rs. 300 per month to her daughter from the date of the application under Section 125, Cr. P. C.

(2.) I have heard Sri Rajeev Gupta, learned Counsel for the Revisionist, Sri S. K. Tyagi, learned Counsel for the respon dent No. 1 and the learned A. G. A. and have perused the entire evidence.

(3.) UNDER this clause, therefore, the maintenance can be awarded from the date of the application as well. This provision does not require recording of any reason for awarding maintenance from the date of the application. Therefore, I am unable to agree with the argument that reason should have been recorded for awarding the maintenance from the date of the ap plication.
