Jharkhand High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>Shree Chandrashekhar, J., addressed an issue with regard to maintenance under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure Code.<\/p>\n

In the present revision petition, maintenance order under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has been challenged.<\/p>\n

Petitioner-Husband’s wife stated that her husband was irresponsible towards the conjugal relationship and neglected to maintain her. The matrimonial suit which was instituted by the husband seeking a divorce decree was disposed of on a compromise between the parties.<\/p>\n

Petitioner’s counsel, Sanjay Prasad contended that the above-stated matrimonial suit was decreed “as per terms of the compromise” under which the wife had relinquished all her claims against the petitioner, hence petitioner’s wife was not entitled to maintenance under Section 125 of CrPC.<\/p>\n

In the Supreme Court decision of\u00a0Nagendrappa Natikar v. Neelamma,\u00a0<\/em>(2014) 14 SCC 452<\/a>, Court dealt with the issue of whether a wife who has agreed for permanent alimony and given up future claim for maintenance is entitled to maintenance under Section 18 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 after the divorce?<\/p>\n

To the above, the Supreme Court responded that<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“The proceeding under Section 125 CrPC is summary in nature and intended to provide a speedy remedy to the wife and any order passed under Section 125 CrPC by compromise or otherwise cannot foreclose the remedy available to a wife under Section 18(2) of the Act.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the present matter, Family Court Judge had observed that permanent alimony or maintenance was not given by the petitioner and the wife was unable to maintain herself. Hence, the Court awarded Rs 5000 monthly maintenance to the wife.<\/p>\n

\n

Object of Section 125 CrPC is to ensure that a wife, minor children or helpless parents do not suffer in penury.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

High Court declined to interfere in the present matter keeping in mind the limitation under revisional jurisdiction and therefore dismissed the criminal revision.[Umesh Prasad Mahto v.
