JUDGMENT M.A. Khan, J.- This is a revision against the judgment and order dated, 13-12-1983 passed by the learned VI Additional Sessions Judge, Aligarh in Criminal Revision No. 295 of 1983, thereby upsetting the judgment and order dated 14-4-1983 passed by the learned Special Judicial Magistrate, Aligarh under which a petition under Section 125 Cr. P.C. moved by the wife against her husband was allowed and the wife was granted maintenance to the tune of Rs. 100/- per month. In revision the learned Additional Sessions, Judge reversed the finding and dismissed the petition under Section 125, Cr. P.C. moved by the wife. For setting aside the aforesaid judgment and order, the present revision has been filed. 2. None appears for the parties and I have myself gone through the impugned judgment and order passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge and I find that it is absolutely illegal and improper. 3. In case of Mustafa Sham­suddin Shaikh v. Shams had Begum Mustafa Shaikh and others1, in which it has been held as follows: "In proceedings under Section 125 of the Code, it is not necessary for the Court to ascertain as to who was in the wrong and whether the wife was guilty of leaving the matrimonial house without any reason. Even assuming that the wife is in the wrong while leaving the house she cannot be deprived of maintenance when husband contracts second marriage and that fact by itself entitles her to live separately. The proceedings under Section 125 of the Code should not be confused with the matrimonial proceedings between the parties. A right to claim maintenance under the Code is not dependent upon who was right and who was wrong in the matrimonial disputes. The Magistrate is duty bound to award maintenance once it is found that the wife is unable to main­tain herself and her husband has means but still neglects or refuses to maintain the wife. The Magistrate is not required to examine whether the conduct of the wife in initially leaving the house was just or not. The Magistrate is duty bound to award maintenance once it is found that the wife is unable to main­tain herself and her husband has means but still neglects or refuses to maintain the wife. The Magistrate is not required to examine whether the conduct of the wife in initially leaving the house was just or not. The conduct of the wife at the time of leaving the house is wholly irreverent and the Magistrate must concentrate on the facts and circumstances existing on the date of passing order on application filed under Section 125 of the Code." Similar view has been taken in case of Gangabai v. Shriram alias Shrikishan2, in which it has been held that the wife is entitled to main­tenance despite the fact that she was living separately from the husband. In case of Mst. Ansuiya Bai v. Nawaslat3, it has been held that if there is any assertion by wife that she is not doing anything that is sufficient to attract the provisions of Section 125 Cr. P.C. 4. In case of Ganga Prasad and others v. State of U.P., it has been held that the revisional court should not draw his own conclusion when there is no ilregality in the order of the magistrate, In case of Akhlak Ahmad and others v. Vahid Ali Ansari4, it has been held that once there is a finding of fact recorded by the Magistrate, the revisional court has no jurisdiction to upset that finding. 5. In case of Smt. Sheela Devi v. Munna Lal and another5, it has been held that revisional court committed illegality in substituting its own fin­ding and opinion while refusing maintenance to wife and the revi­sional court has no jurisdiction to set aside the finding of the lear­ned Magistrate and impose its own finding. The Honble Supreme Court in case of Associated Cement Co. Ltd. v. Keshvanand6, also held that while the appellate jurisdiction is co,-extensive with original courts jurisdiction as for appraisal and re-appreciation of evidence, the court has simply to confine to the legality and propriety of the findings and as to whether the subordinate court acted within its jurisdiction. In the present case, there is a positive finding of fact that the husband has ailed to maintain the wife and neglected her. Therefore, the order of maintenance was passed. In the present case, there is a positive finding of fact that the husband has ailed to maintain the wife and neglected her. Therefore, the order of maintenance was passed. The revisional court had absolutely no jurisdiction to upset that finding and impose its own finding over the finding recorded by the learned Magistrate. The revisional court has thus acted with a jurisdiction not vested in it and as such committed illegality in upsetting the finding recorded by the learned Magistrate. The revision is accordingly allowed, The impugned judgment and order dated 13-12-1983 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Aligarh are set aside and the order dated 14-4-1983 passed by the learned Special Judicial Magistrate, Aligarh is confirmed.
