What is the maintenance obligation under Section 125 CrPC for children who have attained majority? What is the period of limitation for filing an execution application under Section 125(3) CrPC, and how does an order stay affect it? What is the entitlement of the wife and children to maintenance during interim periods, and how are arrears and past payments to be treated?

Key Points: - The maintenance obligation under Section 125 CrPC for minor and certain categories continues until attainment of majority for children; after majority, the provision ceases to apply to their cases. (!) - For execution of maintenance orders, the period of limitation is one year from the date the amount became due, but exclusion periods apply under Section 15 of the Limitation Act when stay orders are in place. (!) (!) (!) - Arrears can be sought for periods prior to the majority/marriage of children, with specific exclusions and adjustments for periods post-majority or where earlier orders denied maintenance; appeals and revisions may affect entitlement. (!) (!) (!) (!) - Interim maintenance provisions allow for maintenance and expenses during pending proceedings; such interim orders may be disposed of within sixty days where possible. (!) - The Court recognized that no maintenance order was passed in favor of children after they attained majority, so recovery of maintenance for those post-majority periods does not arise. (!) (!) - The final order excludes the period from May 1997 to April 1998 for the daughters where earlier order had been rejected, setting specific maintenance periods for each child. (!)
