Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the dismissal of a maintenance petition under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C. by the Family Court, which had granted maintenance to the son but denied it to the wife and daughter. The Court found that the High Court's dismissal of the revision application was not justified, emphasizing the need for a fair assessment of the wife's claim for maintenance. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal and directed the Family Court to reconsider the maintenance application for the wife and daughter.
