MP HC denies maintenance to wife on her CrPC 125 appeal

28 Jul 2015 By videv 26 Comments

Thanks to a reader, we have this very recent judgment of Madhya Pradesh High Court which denied maintenance to wife under CrPC 125 on her appeal to HC since the court agreed with trial court’s observations that according to evidence led by husband and also wife’s own admissions, it was the wife who was not staying with him out of her own freewill.

👉(Read Online eBook): How to Fight and Reduce Maintenance under CrPC 125 and DV Act 👈

The judgment is actually not very significant, since both evidence by way of letters of husband and wife’s own admissions proved that there was no maltreatment, and in practical cases such evidence, and wife’s own admissions are very rarely seen.  Also the wife didn’t appear in HC at all for her own appeal.   If any husband is lucky enough to have this kind of evidence (and a wife who admits in court to her faults Smile ) , of course they can make full use of it!  This was how usage of CrPC 125 was intended to be, but after passing of laws like DV Act combined with the so-called ‘women empowerment’ trend, most of the time interim maintenance is granted based merely on allegations and the fact that wife is not staying with husband.


  Important parts of judgment:


On the basis of aforesaid letters and admission of the applicant in her cross-examination, learned
trial Court had recorded a finding that she was never ill-treated by her husband or in-laws but she
was unable to adjust herself in her matrimonial home; therefore, she did not want to stay with her
husband and wanted to get rid of him. On the basis of her categorical admission that she had
written a letter to her father stating that she has no complaint against her in-laws but she was
unable to adjust with them; therefore, she wanted to marry somewhere else, learned trial Court
proceed to record the finding that the applicant had left her husband of her own freewill and

accord. It cannot be said that she had to leave her matrimonial home on account of any ill-
treatment, misbehavior or harassment on the part of her husband or in-laws.

On aforesaid grounds, learned trial Court held that the applicant was not entitled to any
maintenance.

Madhya Pradesh High Court

Smt. Aradhana Tiwari vs Deepak Tiwari on 16 July, 2015
                       CRR-604-2010
             (SMT. ARADHANA TIWARI Vs DEEPAK TIWARI)

16-07-2015

None for the applicant.
Shri S.K.Mishra, counsel for the respondent.

A perusal of the record reveals that no one had appeared on behalf of the applicant to prosecute
this Criminal Revision on two previous dates, namely 06.05.2015 and 29.06.2015.

On last date, the Court had made an observation that if no one appears on next date to argue on
behalf of the applicant, the Revision Petition shall be dismissed for non-prosecution, in view of
the nature of the impugned order.

Even then, no one has appeared before the Court to argue on the matter on behalf of the
applicant. This Criminal Revision is yet to be admitted. In aforesaid circumstances, the Court
shall proceed to decide it on merits without the benefit of arguments advanced on behalf of the
applicant.

This Criminal Revision has been preferred against the order dated 22.01.2010 passed by the
Court of 1 st Additional Principal Judge, Family Court, Jabalpur, in MJC.No.01/2009, whereby
the application for maintenance filed under  Section 125  of the Code of Criminal Procedure by
the applicant Aradhana Tiwari was dismissed on the ground that the applicant had failed to prove
that the non-applicant husband had neglected or refused to maintain her and she was staying
away from him without any reasonable and just cause.

It has been observed by learned trial Court that the non- applicant husband had filed letters
exhibit D-1 to D-4, whereby it is evident that the non-applicant husband never misbehaved with
the applicant. It was further observed that the applicant had admitted in her cross- examination
that she used to write letters to her husband that she has no problem in her matrimonial home and
she also admitted that she had written a letter from her matrimonial home to her father
expressing that she is not happy in her matrimonial home and imploring him to take her from
matrimonial home to her parental home and marry her off somewhere else. She also admitted
during the cross-examination that she has spends most of time in her parental home after the
marriage. She has also admitted that she was treated for mental ailments before her marriage and
also after it.

On the basis of aforesaid letters and admission of the applicant in her cross-examination, learned
trial Court had recorded a finding that she was never ill-treated by her husband or in-laws but she
was unable to adjust herself in her matrimonial home; therefore, she did not want to stay with her
husband and wanted to get rid of him. On the basis of her categorical admission that she had
written a letter to her father stating that she has no complaint against her in-laws but she was
unable to adjust with them; therefore, she wanted to marry somewhere else, learned trial Court
proceed to record the finding that the applicant had left her husband of her own freewill and

accord. It cannot be said that she had to leave her matrimonial home on account of any ill-
treatment, misbehavior or harassment on the part of her husband or in-laws.

On aforesaid grounds, learned trial Court held that the applicant was not entitled to any
maintenance. On perusal of record, there is no reason to take a different view in the matter; as
such, the impugned order does not suffer from any illegality, irregularity or impropriety
warranting interference by this Court. Consequently, this Criminal Revision deserves to be and is
accordingly dismissed.

(C V SIRPURKAR) JUDGE

      >>They(my wife bf) also threatened me on ph. Call to killed me and abused me

      In such situation, you should be approaching police, and if they don’t take complaint send to higher police authorities by speed post etc.

      Being student/jobless is also an age old trick (but a poor one) to avoid maintenance, so unless you are able to convince the judge that it’s your reality rather than a trick there is risk of maintenance being awarded to wife. Use evidence of boyfriend etc to deny maintenance, but I guess for that you need to go past your own lawyer’s objections.

      it’s very difficult to say in one line how to reduce maintenance, if you are serious you can read my book.

      Saying ready to accept wife won’t help if she has made DV allegations on you in CrPC 125 complaint. It gives a signal that you have done something wrong, that’s why so eager to accept wife back who has made allegations against you.

        Respected sir,
        I am a merchant naval officer, got married last year in jan. Sir no dowry taken, as our family have rs 1 rishta. My wife whn came home clearly projected her requirements that she is not interested in me or my family, but want money and live separately, done marriage because of parents. She went home after 1 week, projected false matters to his family and for this or that reason leave the home and go to live in her home. She went home in may i brought her back, she asked me do u agree on giving me money, i said no thn She called her family and relatives and they took her home. We tried to stop thm, we even closed hands and like begging, as we had very good reputation in society and this will bring bad name. Then some panchayats held were she openly abused my parents and said they work as father clean the floor and mother wash clothes, why they dont have maids and all. Now in feb she had filed crpc 125 and askimg for maintenance of 1 lakhs per month. Sir i paid fees of 80k after marriage so she could complete her education. She in that summon only focused on maintenance, and doing some training or job in delhi. She also mentioned this in that summon. I am earning some 10lakhs per month whn i am onboard ship,sailing.
        Plz advice..

          You haven’t mentioned what are your intentions.

          Anyway for fighting maintenance case time begging or folding hands whether to wife or to court won’t help. Instead of doing drama if you had collected some proof that she was not interested in marriage, it could have helped. It’s a myth that by asking wife to come back court won’t order any maintenance solely based on that ground.

          >>she openly abused my parents and said they work as father clean the floor and mother wash clothes, why they dont have maids and all.

          If really you didn’t have any maids, then she is entitled only to a lifestyle without maids, which her own salary etc can also suffice for. But how many people can argue things based on logic in court or manage own lawyer to do it!

      instead of saying “please help, please help”; it’s about time you take control of situation, better late than never; and stop making new mistakes at least. Like falling for RCR of wife etc. Women who file 498A/DV case etc don’t file RCR to come back, but purely as a tactic to make fool of husband making him believe that she will be back.

      Given already high maintenance situation, the starting point can be to read my book, see what you can use to apply for revision/appeal (that procedural part is not covered though), and then you can join our Facebook group also:

      Very much possible… maybe you need to read my book below and prepare how to fight the maintenance case based on cold, hard facts rather than hoping to get relief based on sympathy evoking arguments like “new settled life”. Between a woman and man trying to score on sympathy, women mostly win.

    My wife lives separately but by her own choice in a house built by my father since 17/03/2012. She had purchased a flat with her own money with Rs 400,000 (Four lac) and paid Stamp duty of 120659 ( One lac six hundred and fifty nine) on 19/12/2014 with her own money. (This implies that she is definitely into some business). Further, on 09/09/2015 she sold the flat at about 10,00,000. Till then the flat remained vacant. She didn’t stay in it nor she let it out. Rent of that flat would be around 20,000. (twenty thousand ). On 23/10/2015 she is claiming maintenance under sec 125 Cr PC. Presently, I am unemployed. I had a business of medicines which is now dissolved since long. Please help.

I personally agree that anyone who is doing all those stuffs you mentioned should be punished and I am with it but concern over here is the cases filed against innocent people just because law is in favor of them. Is our mother and sisters are not an women ??? why they are pulled in this what mistakes they have done…… its just matter of “EGO” that’s it.

      Use all techniques mentioned in maintenance book. How was she surviving for 14 years? But basically, law is to prevent destitution of wives, there is no culture in India which says woman has to work to support herself. She’s a weight around husband’s neck. It’s only now the men are realizing what kind of laws are there for maintenance.
