(1.) MAINTENANCE application has been filed by the opposite party -wife seeking maintenance for herself After inquiry, the Trial Court ordered for payment of maintenance of Rs. 800 per month from the date of order, which is under challenge.

(2.) I have heard Mr. S.P. Sinha, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Mr. T.N. Verm, learned Counsel appearing for the State.

(3.) COUNSEL for the State opposed the admission of this application on the ground that the evidences adduced have been dealt with by the Trial Court in a proper perspective and the Trial Court correctly believed the evidence adduced by the wife and also gave finding regarding marriage performance to the effect that she is the wife and is entitled to maintenance. When the Court asked the petitioner whether any payment has been made in Court subsequent to the impugned order dated 13.9.2004, Counsel for the petitioner fairly stated that since he disputed the marriage, he has not made any payment. It is noticed that notice was issued on 9.9.2005 and it is strenuously stated by the Counsel that notice has been served on the alleged wife.
