Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the appeal against the High Court's order dismissing the Civil Revision case due to the husband's failure to pay maintenance. The Court found that the High Court erred in rejecting the case solely on non-payment grounds without considering the merits. The Court directed the High Court to decide the case on its merits if the husband pays the remaining maintenance amount of Rs. 76,000/- and continues payments at Rs. 7,000/- per month until a final order is made.
