Aggrieved by the impugned order dated 101.2017, petitioner filed this Revision Petition.

(3.) Learned Counsel for petitioner Ms. Akanksha Saxena submits that Coordinate Bench of this Court in the matter of Haricharan Vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr. (S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No. 612/2007) decided on 11.11.2014 and in the matter of Ram Kumar Vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr. (S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No. 613/2007) decided on 20.11.2014 observed that imprisonment for non-payment of amount of maintenance cannot be beyond period of one month, rather it can be for one month and until payment is made sooner. She further submits that once Learned Family Court decided the application under Sec. 125(3) Crimial P.C. and awarded sentence for civil imprisonment for one month for default period from 18.02015 to 27.07.2016 then Learned Family Court has no right or jurisdiction to enhance the sentence for the same period in the same proceedings, therefore this Revision Petition may be allowed and impugned order may be quashed and set aside.
