                         Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (Cri) No. 210 of 1987

                                           (M. P. Thakkar, B. C. Ray JJ)

                                                      02.03.1987

                                                        ORDER

We are of the opinion that the view taken by the Kerala High Court that an order of maintenance
under Section 125 CrPC can be revoked only prospectively having regard to the subsequent
development in the form of order passed by the civil court is correct. Learned counsel for the
petitioner has relied on the observations made by the learned Single Judge of the Allahabad High
Court in Brij Pal Singh v. Sukhbiri Devi 1. With respect to the Allahabad High Court we do not
think that the view expressed therein is correct. Under the circumstances, we confirm the view taken
by the High Court of Kerala and dismiss the special leave petition.

Court Master.
