He has not challenged the said order, rather the recovery proceeding has been initiated and he has challenged the said proceeding, thus, once the order passed by the court below has not been passed the consequences would be followed and he has to comply the order unless it is stayed or set aside. 5. He has also submitted that the order has been passed that he has to pay the maintenance from the date of presenting the application, which was presented on 12.6.2024 but he has not paid single penny. 6. On asking whether the applicant can deposit some amount so that mediation can be facilitated but he has submitted that his client is not ready to pay any sum of amount. There is also no illegality pointed out by him, therefore the proceedings cannot be quashed and the application is devoid of merit. 7. It is also noted that interim maintenance awarded by such order has been finalized and the same has not been challenged by the applicant. Once the same is not challenged, the consequence has been followed and recovery proceeding has been initiated and there is no infirmity in the order passed by the court below. 8. Accordingly, the instant application is hereby dismissed. (Brij Raj Singh,J.) May 6, 2026 Muk
