A maintenance order of the Family Court, Kozhikode, granting maintenance to the wife at the rate of ₹1,500/- per month and to the minor child at the rate of ₹1,000/- per month is under challenge in this revision. When the revision came up for hearing on 20.3.2014 both sides sought some time to explore the possibility of amicable settlement. On request the matter was adjourned to 4.4.2014. On that date it was submitted from both sides that efforts for amicable settlement were going on. Today there is no representation for the revision petitioner. It appears that the revision petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the matter. In fact the amount of maintenance ordered by the trial court is very reasonable, and it does not require any interference, when there is not much dispute on facts between the parties. Any way, a decision on merits cannot be taken in the absence of the revision petitioner.
In the result, this revision is dismissed for non- prosecution.
