Subsequent to that order, the petitioner obtained an ex-parte divorce decree against his former wife. After the said decree, the petitioner filed an application under Section 25, praying for alteration\/modification or revocation of the maintenance order on the ground that he is not liable to pay to his former wife as no\u00a0<em>domestic relationship\u00a0<\/em>between them subsist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before the High Court, the petitioner was represented by Siva Prosad Ghose, Chandra Bhanu Sinha and Rohit Kumar Shaw, Advocates.

After decree of divorce, the Opposite Party 2 has become\u00a0<em>a divorced wife.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court was of the opinion that our law\u00a0<strong>recognises the right of a divorced wife to get maintenance till her remarriage, under Section 125 CrPC. The DV Act provides additional rights and remedies to the aggrieved person.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, it was noted:\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Existence of domestic relationship is not needed to execute the order granted under Section 12 of the Act of 2005 and the divorced wife who got an order of maintenance and other relief under the Act of 2005 prior to the decree of divorce is entitled to execute the same if she is unable to maintain herself and she\u00a0has not remarried and for other reasons.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In such view of the matter, the Court decided the application against the petitioner, and accordingly dismissed the same.[Krishnendu Das Thakur v.
