Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C., affirming the Family Court's order restoring the maintenance petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C. The Court clarified that the maintenance order dated 06.05.2017 was conditional and could be set aside if obligations were not met. The ruling emphasized that the Family Court has the authority to recall its orders when conditions are not fulfilled, thus maintaining the enforcement of maintenance rights under Section 125 Cr.P.C.
