Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a wife's resumption of cohabitation with her husband under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code revokes an existing maintenance order. The Court held that the maintenance order remains subsisting despite the resumption of cohabitation, as it was not formally set aside. The Court rejected the husband's argument that the maintenance order was superseded by the wife's return, affirming the enforceability of the maintenance order until explicitly revoked by the court.
