Shail vs Manoj Kumar And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed a petition concerning maintenance under Section 125 Cr.P.C. after the petitioner, a victim of Sections 376 and 328 IPC, was deserted by her husband. The Court referenced Surya Dev Rai v. Ram Chancier Rai, [2003] 6 SCC 675, affirming the High Court's jurisdiction under Article 227 to direct maintenance in cases of destitution. The Court held that the petitioner should seek interim relief from the High Court, dismissing the need for leave to appeal as there was no grievance in the High Court's order.
