Mohammad Jalaluddin vs Shakila Khatoon — 73/2025

Summary: The court allowed the petitioner's application under Section 127 Cr.P.C. to modify a 2015 maintenance order requiring him to pay Rs. 5,000 monthly to his wife. The court found that the parties had executed a written settlement agreement on March 7, 2017, whereby the petitioner paid a lump sum of Rs. 3,00,000 as full and final maintenance, and the opposite party agreed not to claim further maintenance. Since this constituted a material change in circumstances and the opposite party accepted the settlement amount, the court set aside the earlier maintenance order.
