He argued that since both parents were earning members, the liability to maintain the minor child was a joint and shared responsibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated principle of law that the person initiating a legal proceeding has the absolute prerogative to choose the parties against whom they seek relief and <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">merely because the mother of the minor child is also earning does not absolve the father from his statutory obligation to maintain the child<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Further, the Court stated that the liability of the father to maintain his minor child is a legal and moral obligation, thus the father cannot seek to avoid or postpone such liability by insisting that the mother must first be impleaded as a party to the proceedings. The Court further stated that it cannot lose sight of the legal position that when both parents are earning members, the responsibility of maintaining the child is a shared and joint responsibility, as observed in <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Chandu Sridevi<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Chandu Sesha Rao.<\/span><a id=\"fnref1\" href=\"#fn1\" title=\"1.
