                                          Writ Petition No. 538 of 1988

                                     (K. Jagannatha Shetty, K. N. Saikia JJ)

                                                      02.01.1989

                                                        ORDER

1. In this writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution the validity of Section 125 CrPC has
been challenged on the Ground that the section unreasonably limits the maintenance to Rs. 500 for
individual. Section 125 provides a speedy remedy against starvation of the civil liabilities of parties.
The order made thereunder is tentative and it is subject to the final determination of the rights in
civil court. We, therefore, see no reason to issue rule nisi. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
