Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court, Bengaluru — WP No.32921 of 2025 (GM-FC), decided 17.02.2026 by Dr. Justice Chillakur Sumalatha. Husband's writ petition (Articles 226/227, certiorari) against Family Court, Tumakuru order dated 16.09.2025 in C. Mis. No.21/2021 allowing I.A. No.9 under Section 311 Cr.P.C. permitting him to lead evidence subject to payment of entire arrears of interim maintenance with medical and education expenses within 15 days; dismissed as infructuous because the main case was disposed of on merits, as submitted by respondent No.1 in person and admitted by petitioner's counsel. Keywords: infructuous writ petition; Section 311 Cr.P.C.; interlocutory order; interim maintenance arrears; Family Court Tumakuru; party-in-person.
What did the court decide?
Since C. Misc. No.21/2021 itself stood disposed of by the Family Court, Tumakuru on merits — a disposal admitted by the petitioner's counsel — the writ petition challenging the interlocutory order therein had become infructuous and was dismissed.
