The right to assert maintenance claims in all ordinances, including those under Section 125 CrPC, must go back to the filing of the application, the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday.

“A dependent spouse’s financial constraints affect his or her ability to be effectively represented in court. To prevent a loved one from getting into distress, alimony must be granted from the date the claim for alimony is filed in the relevant court, ”said a bank led by Justice Indu Malhotra.

“The delay in adjudication is not only against human rights, but against the basic embodiment of the dignity of the individual,” she said as she ruled on a Maharashtra marriage case that required the upholding of a wife and son under Section 125 of the CrPC had to be determined.

As the courts set different judicial standards to grant provisional maintenance and alimony in matrimonial matters, the Supervisory Committee also established guidelines to ensure uniform legal practice in such matters.

The guidelines addressed issues of overlapping jurisdiction, interim maintenance, the criteria for determining the scope of maintenance, the date from which maintenance should be outsourced, and the execution of maintenance orders.
