The applicants, Shiva Pankaj and his
daughter, had filed an application under
Section 125 CrPC before the Family
Court in Lucknow, seeking maintenance
from the husband/father (opposite party
no. 2). However, the Family Court had
not decided their interim maintenance
application expeditiously, despite the
statutory mandate under the third
proviso to Section 125(1) CrPC to
dispose of such applications within 60
days of issuing notice
Aggrieved by the delay, the applicants
filed the present application under
Section 483 CrPC before the High Court,
seeking a direction to the Family Court to
decide their pending interim
maintenance application expeditiously.
On the second issue, the Court noted
that under Section 7(2)(a) of the Family
Courts Act, a Family Court has the
jurisdiction exercisable by a Magistrate
of the First Class under Chapter IX
(relating to maintenance orders) of the
CrPC. Therefore, while deciding an
application under Section 125 CrPC, the
Family Court exercises the jurisdiction of
a Judicial Magistrate.
आवेदन को स्वीकार करते हुए न्यायालय ने पारिवारिक न्यायालय को निर्देश दिया कि वह धारा 125(1) सीआरपीसी के तीसरे प्रावधान के तहत 60 दिन की वैधानिक समयसीमा को ध्यान में रखते हुए लंबित अंतरिम भरण-पोषण आवेदन का शीघ्र निपटारा करे।
