Dimple Gupta (Minor) vs Rajiv Gupta

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of maintenance under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, emphasizing that in cases involving children born out of wedlock, the mother's testimony must be corroborated by additional evidence to establish paternity. The Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the trial court's findings without adequate justification, thereby reinforcing the need for a thorough examination of evidence in such sensitive matters. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's decision was set aside, restoring the trial court's order for maintenance.
