Sillu Alpha Antony vs Lijo jose — 101674/2024

Summary: The petition (CMP 1862/2025) seeking modification of a domestic maintenance order under Section 25 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act was dismissed. The applicant (respondent in original case MC 12/2022) claimed financial hardship after losing his job abroad and argued that the respondent/applicant earning ₹50,000 monthly as a teacher should maintain him. The court rejected this argument as unsustainable, finding no genuine change in circumstances justifying modification of the original order requiring him to pay ₹5,000 monthly plus ₹7,000 rent, and dismissed the application as devoid of merit with no costs awarded.
