BALESHWAR MANDAL Vs. ANUP MANDAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BALESHWAR Mandal. the petitioner herein, was directed to pay a sum of Rs. 500 p.m. as maintenance under Section 125, Cr. P.C. to his illegitimate child. The petitioner is aggrieved by the said order of the Family Court.

(2.) ANUP Mandal filed a petition through his mother, Malti Devi in the Family Court, Dumka. In the said petition it has been alleged that the petitioner in this revision committed rape on Malti Devi, who has been examined as P.W. 4, on account of which she became pregnant and delivered a child who is O.P. No. 1. The Family Court considering the evidence placed before it directed the petitioner, Baleshwar Mandal to pay a sum of Rs. 500 as maintenance to his illegitimate child under Section 125, Cr. P.C. and directed that the said amount should be paid from the date of the application.

(3.) 1 am unable to accept the said contention since there is no material placed before the Family Court for arriving at a conclusion that the P.W. 4 gave different version -one before the Criminal Court and the other before the Family Court and in the absence of any evidence this Court cannot go into the questions of fact on the basis of oral submissions made by the Counsel before the Revisional Forum. On going through the order of the Family Court 1 find that there is no illegality or irregularity in the order.
