14. Doubting the correctness of the above judgment,
the matter was referred to a Division Bench and to resolve the
conflicting decision of various single Benches, the matter was
taken up in Santosh Vs. State of Karela RPFC No.34 of
2010, decided on 18.11.2013 and after referring to numerous
judgments, the principle laid down in Sundaran Vs. Sumathi
2006(3) KLT 725 was approved.
Shahada Khatoon And Ors. vs Amjad Ali And Ors. on 7 April, 1999
17. In view of the discussions made above, the order
of the learned Family Judge is wholly unsustainable. I am
fortified in my view by a decision of the Apex Court reported
in (1999) 5 SCC 672:(1999 AIR SCW 4880) (Shahada
Khatoon v. Amjad Ali). The Apex Court has gone to the
extent of saying that the confinement can extend to only one
month and if even after the expiry of one month the
delinquent husband does not make the payment of arrears

then the wife can approach the Magistrate again for a similar
relief but the confinement of the husband must be only of one
month. This decision of the Apex Court further lays down a
fetter in the exercise of this power by the Judicial Magistrate
or the Family Judge to the extent that only a confinement for
a period of one month can be passed on an application
whether the amount claimed by the wife as arrears is for
more than one month or for only a month. In one stroke no
composite confinement can be directed by the Court. It very
clearly flows from the above decision.

respectfully disagree with the learned Judge of the Allahabad High

wife was that an order had been passed under Section 125
Cr.P.C. and the execution had been filed and the Court could
not go into the legality or validity of the order and the
