Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant maintenance of Rs. 4,000/- per month to the wife under Section 125 Cr.P.C., rejecting the appellant's argument that a ceiling of Rs. 3,000/- applied due to state amendments. The Court clarified that the amendments made by Madhya Pradesh Act 15 of 2004 do not impose a limit on maintenance, and previous state amendments fixing ceilings are invalid following the 2001 amendment to the Central Act. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order.
