Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Gauhati High Court's order that had overturned the maintenance granted under Section 125 Cr.P.C. to the appellant, Pratima Das, on the grounds of insufficient proof of marriage to the respondent, Subudh Das. The Court relied on DNA test results confirming the respondent as the father of the appellant's three children, thereby restoring the original maintenance order. The Court mandated that the arrears be paid within four months.
