But Z does not comply with order of paying Rs1500 ultimatly He is sent to jail for one month (and he is not holding any salary account and any property so attachment is not possible to avoid the punishment ) . and According to Cr.P.C 125(3) He can be punished by the way of simple punshiment upto 1 month or UNTILL PAYMENT IF SOONER MADE .

R sir,

The above mention punishment is only for one time maintenance. When we file execution for any specific time the punishment for one month only in one execution. We advocates file executions for short periods i.e two months, three months. The punishments are separates -2 for every executions.
