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 Delhi High Court ruled that child maintenance is a legal obligation, not a charitable act, emphasizing shared parental responsibility. In a case involving a father refusing to pay maintenance, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma reaffirmed that children should not feel deprived. The judgment highlights the importance of recognizing children’s rights to support and dignity.
