Akanksha Arora vs Tanay Maben

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of a petition under Section 482 CrPC for enhancement of interim maintenance was improper, as the appellant had an alternative remedy under Section 397 CrPC. The Court emphasized that the nomenclature of a petition is immaterial and that the High Court should have converted the petition into a revision under Section 397 CrPC. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter for reconsideration, directing the High Court to decide the case in accordance with law after hearing both parties.
