JUDGMENT 1.None present for the applicant. This revision under Section 397/401 of Cr.P.C. has been filed against the order dated 20.06.2001 passed by learned Sessions Judge, Mandla in Criminal Revision No. 29 of 2001 arising out of order dated 02.01.2001 in M.Cr.C. No. 47 of 1999 Kuraisha Khatun Vs. Sarif Khan, by which the learned Sessions Judge has allowed and passed the order for interim maintenance in favour of the respondents. 2. This application is of the year 2001. Earlier on many occasions also, no one was present on behalf of the applicant. Since none is present on behalf of the applicant, it seems that with the passage of time, the applicant has lost interest in prosecuting this case of granting of interim maintenance amount, hence, this application deserves to be dismissed in default. 3. Learned Sessions Judge rightly held, after appreciation of evidence that the respondent No.1 is legally wedded wife of applicant and respondent Nos. 2 and 3 are the children of this couple. Learned Sessions Judge also rightly found that the applicant deserted his wife and children without any reasonable cause and having sufficient means of income as Dak Carrier Rs. 2,000/- per month to pay maintenance and, therefore, rightly awarded the maintenance amount. Hence, on the merits also, this revision under Section 397/401 of Cr.P.C. deserves to be dismissed. Accordingly, the revision is dismissed.
