2)If yes its ok if he deposit the total arrears. what is the procedure for enforcement of the balance by respondent (wife) if he goes paying in installments?

thanks to all for ur valuable suggestions
However Sir what would be ur interpretation of the wordings in Sec 128
" such order may be enforced by any Magistrate in any place where the person against whom it is made"
