Case Summary: Crl.Misc.39/2024 A wife (age 33) and two minor children (ages 9 and 5) filed a maintenance petition under Section 125 CrPC against the husband, seeking Rs. 18,000/month. The petitioners claimed the respondent abandoned them after marriage and stopped providing financial support despite earning Rs. 3,00,000/month from his business. Outcome: The interim maintenance application was partly allowed. The court found the petitioners established a prima facie case as a legally married couple with two children and recognized the respondent's maintenance obligation. However, deeming the requested amount exorbitant, the court ordered the respondent to pay Rs. 5,000/month (instead of Rs. 18,000) from the petition date until further orders, with the case returnable by 19.4.2024.
