% 09.01.2026 By way of the present revision petition filed under section 397 read with section 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.) read with section 438 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, the petitioner impugns order dated 29.09.2025 passed by the learned Family Court-02, West District, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi, whereby ad-interim maintenance at Rs. 10,000/- per month has been awarded against the petitioner and in favour of the respondent.

Though in the impugned order, the learned Family Court has used the phrase interim maintenance and ad-interim maintenance variously, a perusal of paras 7 and 10 would show that the maintenance petition is still pending trial before the learned Family Court, upon conclusion of which, maintenance would finally be awarded by that court. The sum of Rs. 10,000/- awarded by way of the impugned order is only to apply till disposal of the petition, and it has been so stated in para 10.

Furthermore, it has also been clarified in the impugned order that the payments made towards ad-interim maintenance/interim maintenance would be adjusted against the maintenance finally awarded. In view of the above, after a brief hearing in the matter, and considering that the impugned order only awards ad-interim maintenance, in light of section 397(2) Cr.P.C., this court is not inclined to entertain the present petition; though reserving to the petitioner the liberty to file afresh once the maintenance petition is finally disposed-of by the learned Family Court, in accordance with law, if so advised. The present revision petition is accordingly dismissed. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed-of.
