Woman (petitioner ) has demanded maintenance under Sec 488 in J&K in Oct,12, while respondent pleads She is divorced 2.5yrs. back. On the petition for interim relief, Court ordered 1500/-per month in Apr,12 after about 6 months and made it part of the main petition . In May,12 the respondent, was given permission to self-plead. On that day, He was asked to cross-examine the petitioner,which he did. Plaintiff has not produced any witness yet and most probably has none. Defendant has a number of witnesses to produce. Also He is not averse to paying the interim and has not appealed against the interim order yet. May you be kind enough to reply:-
1. What is the period of appeal against the Interim order in the next higher court?
2. If the period has expired, is there still any possibility of appeal?
3. Is there any scope of seeking a review of the interim order by the same Judge?
4. Since the petition has thus been disposed of and" made a part of the main petition", when shall it come under discussion, because the interim order has been based on some erroneous deductions.
5. Is it permissible to submit to the Judge holding the trial a respose to the Interim Order in writing, so that the compliance of the Interim Order is not construed as acceptance of the grounds of interim order by the respondent.
6. Is it mandatory to make the payment to the petitioner before the next date of hearing (end of May, 12) or on the same day? How to make this payment ?
