RAM SARUP Vs. RAMESHWARI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS petition is directed against the order dated 15-9-1988/11.11.1988 passed by the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Hissar, whereby application for correction of clerical error in order dated 15-9-1988 was dismissed.

(2.) IN brief, facts relevant for the disposal of this case are, that the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Hissar, fixed interim maintenance at the rate of Rs. 50/- per month each payable to the minor children of the parties in proceedings under section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Later on, an application was moved before the Judicial Magistrate for correction of clerical mistake, inasmuch as according to the case put forth on behalf of the minor children, maintenance amount granted was Rs. 100/-p.m. each and not Rs. 50/- p.m. each. That application was dismissed by the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Hissar, vide, his order dated 11-11-1988 mainly on the ground that the impugned order had already been challenged by the respondent in revision. The case was compromised before the Lok Adalat, Even though the Magistrate in his order specifically mentioned that he had fixed interim maintenance @ Rs. 50/- p. in each, later on in its comments the Magistrate admitted that he had awarded maintenance at the rate of Rs. 100 p.m. in favour of the children of the parties. Revision against the said order was filed before the Sessions Judge, Hissar. who, vide his order dated 7.2.1989 rectified the said mistake and enhanced the interim maintenance @ Rs. 100/- p.m. payable to each of the minor children. Aggrieved against the said order, father of the minor children has filed the present petition.

(3.) IT is true that the Magistrate in his subsequent orders dated 11-11-1988 admitted that he had actually awarded maintenance at the rate of Rs. 100/- p.m. each to the two minor. children, instead of Rs. 50/- each as mentioned in his order dated 15-9-1988 and acting on the said observations, learned Sessions Judge passed the impugned order dated 7-2-1989 without considering all the aspects of the case.
