Shilpy Sharma – Appellant
Versus
Rahul Sharma – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra, J.
1. Submissions of the revisionist as well as respondent in person are already heard. The parties have also filed their written arguments, which is part of record. Pleadings have already been exchanged between the parties.
2. Instant criminal revision has been preferred by the revisionist against the order dated 07.09.2016 passed by learned Additional Family Court/FTC in Maintenance Case No.3016 of 2014 (Shilpy Sharma Vs. Rahul Sharma) under Section 125 Cr.P.C., whereby an interim maintenance of Rs.2,500/-per month has been awarded to the revisionist.
3. The revisionist is aggrieved by the quantum of maintenance awarded to her and payable by the respondent. The revisionist has submitted that she resides in district Chandauli (UP), whereas her husband Rahul Sharma is resident of district Ghaziabad. She has filed present revision with prayer for enhancement of maintenance from Rs.2,500/-per month as has been awarded by the learned court below to substantial extent on the basis of prima facie facts produced by the revisionist, and the amount to be awarded to the revisionist should be effective from the date of filing of application i.e. 01.09.2014,

A husband must ensure his wife’s financial support and maintain her standard of living unless he proves his inability to earn, as emphasized under Section 125 Cr.P.C. and the Domestic Violence Act.
Interim maintenance orders are final and enforceable, reflecting the husband's obligation to support his wife and children, irrespective of the wife's prior earnings.
The obligation of a father towards his children does not cease when the child attains majority if the child is not able to sustain himself.
The main legal point established in the judgment is the criteria for determining the quantum of maintenance, including the factors to be considered and the need for a reasonable and realistic mainten....
Maintenance under Section 125 Cr.P.C. requires financial disclosure from both parties to ensure just outcomes, and non-compliance does not invalidate previous orders.
