The Allahabad High Court held a husband cannot avoid paying maintenance to his wife and children merely due to imprisonment for non-payment. The court clarified such punishment does not clear arrears or end the continuing legal obligation.
A new legal case emerged against Pawan Kumar, father of Atul Subhash, who died by suicide, with claims for maintenance for his grandson. Allegations of harassment against Subhash’s wife, Nikita Singhania, have intensified family tensions. Meanwhile, police arrested Nikita and her family as the investigation continues.
In the Atul Subhash suicide case, Karnataka police have arrested three individuals, including Nikita Singhania, Nisha Singhania, and Anurag Singhania, who have been remanded to judicial custody. Atul Subhash alleged harassment in a suicide note. His family sought anticipatory bail while police continue their investigation and apprehension of additional suspects.
