Agrawal J upheld the order of the Family Court which granted maintenance @ Rs. 1000 per month to the step-mother from each of her step-son(s) in view of the benevolent provisions contained in Section 125 CrPC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span lang=\"EN-US\">D.N. Prajapati, learned Counsel for the applicants (step-son) contended that the impugned order of the Family Court is liable to be setaside as Section 125(1)(d) CrPC extends only to natural mother for maintenance. Sourabh Dangi, learned amicus curiae submitted that though under Section 125(1)(d) CrPC, \u2018mother\u2019 would not include \u2018step-mother\u2019, but step-mother, who is childless and unable to maintain herself, would be entitled for maintenance from her step-son, as Section 125 of the Code is a beneficial and benevolent provision and therefore, the order of the Family Court is not unexceptionable and not liable to be interfered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Court relied on the decision of <i>Kirtikant D. Vadodaria v. State of Gujarat<\/i> (1996) 4 SCC 479, where the Supreme Court held that the dominant purpose of Section 125 CrPC is that the wife, child and parents should not be left in a helpless state of distress, destitution and starvation, and hence, a childless step-mother may claim maintenance from her step-son under Section 125 CrPC, provided she is widow or her husband, if living, is incapable of supporting and maintaining her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Court appreciated the submission made by the learned amicus curiae Sourabh Dangi, which enabled the Court to decide the issue and held that the non-applicant in the present case (an aged widow and childless step-mother living alone and unable to maintain herself) &nbsp;is entitled for maintenance from her step-son(s), the applicants. The Court concluded that the order of the Family Court granting maintenance to the non-applicant from the applicants is absolutely justified keeping in view the benevolent provisions contained in Section 125 of the code. <i>Deenbandhu v.
