Chaturbhuj vs Sita Bai

The Supreme Court upheld the order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissing the revision petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, regarding maintenance under Section 125 Cr.P.C. The Court found that the appellant had sufficient means to maintain the respondent, who was unable to support herself, and thus affirmed the trial court's direction to pay Rs.1500/- per month. The ruling emphasizes the obligation of a husband to provide maintenance to his wife if she is unable to maintain herself.
