Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Abhilasha challenging the dismissal of her maintenance claim under Section 125 Cr.P.C. The court found that the High Court erred in upholding the lower court's decision, which limited the maintenance to a specific date when the appellant attained majority. The Supreme Court emphasized the need for a fair assessment of maintenance claims, particularly for minors, and directed that the appellant should receive maintenance until she is capable of self-support.
