1. I, feel it is just and appropriate to start this judgment by quoting a great universal verse, in Manusmrithi which often referred with regard to the protection of the women, which is being admired with great respects, irrespective of caste, creed, colour and religion.

“Pita rakshathi kaumare, bhartha rakshathi youvane, Putrah rakshathi vrudhapye, na stree swatantryam arhathi”

(Original is in Sanskrit)

Means a women is protected by father in her childhood, her husband protects her in youth, and in old age she should be protected by her son. At no stage in her life should a woman be left alone and destitute. She deserves protection by man at every stage of her life.

2. In the case on hand, a major Mohammedan girl (unmarried major daughter) who succeeded before the J.M.F.C. Tumkur in Criminal Misc. No. 455 of 2007 in getting maintenance of Rs. 800 per month against her father till her marriage under Section 125 of Cr. P.C. but failed in the Revision Petition before the Fast Track Court, approached this Court for restoration of the orders of the J.M.F.C. by setting aside the order passed by the Fast Track Court, Tumkur in Cr. R.P. No. 149 of 2012 dated 25.10.2013.
