Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a review petition concerning maintenance under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (DV Act), specifically Section 12. The Court clarified that the earlier order mistakenly assumed pending proceedings in the High Court, which were not the case. The Court upheld the interim maintenance order of Rs. 2,50,000 per month granted by the Metropolitan Magistrate, emphasizing the need for timely resolution of maintenance disputes and the importance of compliance with court orders.
