JUDGMENT: This revision, by the husband, is directed against the order dated 16.12.2014 passed in MJC No.70/2013 by the First Additional Principal Judge, Family Court, Jabalpur, whereby she has closed his right to cross-examine the non-applicant. 2. The applicant and non-applicant are husband and wife. The non-applicant has filed an application under section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 for grant of maintenance allowance against the applicant. On 16.10.2014 the case of non-applicant was fixed for her cross-examination by the applicant. But the applicant appeared at 4:30 p.m. and the trial court held that he deliberately appeared late to delay the proceedings and closed his right to cross-examine the non-applicant. 3. The learned counsel for non-applicant has fairly agreed that subject to payment of cost, one last opportunity in the interest of justice be granted to applicant to cross-examine the non-applicant. It is to be noted that the applicant is resident of Rewa whereas the case is proceeding in Jabalpur which is at a distance of 260 kilometers. 4. In view of the aforesaid, I direct the trial court to grant one last opportunity to the applicant to cross-examine non-applicant on the next date of hearing but on payment of cost of Rs.500/- to her. It is stated that the next date of hearing is 17.3.2015 before the trial court. 5. The applicant shall positively appear on that date to cross-examine the non-applicant who too will remain present. With the above direction, the impugned order is set aside and the revision is allowed. Certified copy as per rules.
