2. The petitioner is the husband of the 1st respondent, against whom M.C.No.62 of 2021 was filed by the respondents before the Trial Court. Due to his non-appearance, an ex parte decree of maintenance was passed on 26.04.2022. Challenging the same, the petitioner filed a revision along with an application for condonation of delay. All the applications were allowed on the condition that he deposit 50% of the arrears. Out of the arrears of more than Rs.5,00,000/-, the petitioner was directed to deposit Rs.2,60,000/- before the

Trial Court, which he duly complied with.

3. As on date, the ex parte order has been set aside. The MCOP has now been restored and is posted for the respondents' evidence on 08.09.2025. The petitioner/husband has also filed a counter in the MCOP along with documents, and the case is being proceeded with.

4. In view of the above, since the ex parte order passed by the Trial Court has already been set aside, this Civil Revision Petition is closed as infructuous.

5. However, the parties are directed to co-operate with the proceedings before the Trial Court.
