The Bombay High Court has ruled that a father cannot avoid his legal responsibility to maintain his children merely by claiming unemployment. The Court directed a man to pay monthly maintenance to his son and daughter, reaffirming parental obligations under law.
The Supreme Court today(26th Sept) confirmed that the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, applies to all women in India, safeguarding their constitutional rights. The ruling stemmed from a case concerning maintenance, emphasizing that modifications under Section 25 are only applicable for changes post-initial orders. Previous appeals were dismissed, allowing for future applications under the Act.
