['Upasna Agrawal']
Supreme Court - High Court - Legal Breaking News | Live Law India
The Allahabad High Court has held that application under Sections 125 and 128 CrPC seeking maintenance against minor are maintainable.
When the revisionist was about 16 years old, application under Section 125 CrPC was filed by the wife seeking maintenance from him.
However, the Court noted that the High School certificate of the revisionist was not available before the Lower Court but was filed before the High Court.
Relying on the decision of the Apex Court in Rajnesh Vs. Neha, the Court reduced the maintenance amount to Rs.
The Court directed that arrears, if any, shall be calculated based on the amount fixed by the High Court.
