Case Summary: Sabra Shamim v. Maqsood Ansari (Crl.A. No. 856/2002) The Supreme Court allowed Sabra Shamim's appeal, setting aside the High Court's order that had incorrectly interpreted the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 as limiting maintenance to only the Iddat period. The Court held the High Court's legal premise was contrary to precedent (Danial Latiffi v. U.O.I.) and restored the Family Court's original order granting extended maintenance rights.
