Decided: 20 September 2026

The petitioner, Satyendra Kumar Maurya, filed a criminal revision seeking modification of the interim maintenance amount to align with his financial standing. The petition also asserted that, since the petitioner is now deceased, the revision should be treated as abated. The court considered the request and the claim of abatement due to the petitioner's death. No statutory provisions or precedents were cited. Consequently, the court dismissed the revision on the ground of abatement. The order was pronounced by Justice Praveen Kumar Giri on September 21, 2026.

                                                           HON'BLE PRAVEEN KUMAR GIRI, J.

                                    1. Learned counsel for the revisionist submits that he has preferred the
                                    instant criminal revision with the relief which has been mentioned in the
                                    prayer clause of the revision.

                                    2. The relief which has been mentioned in the prayer clause is delineated
                                    below:-

                                               "It is, therefore, most respectfully prayed that this Hon'ble Court may
                                               graciously be pleased to allow this criminal revision modifying the
                                               quantum of interim maintenance and reduce the same to be
                                               commensurate with the financial standing of the Revisionist."

                                    3. Learned counsel for the revisionist submits that now the revisionist is
                                    no more, therefore, the revision may be treated as abated.

                                    4. Accordingly, the revision is dismissed as abated.



                                                                                                 (Praveen Kumar Giri,J.)
