Maintenance case under section 125 Cr.P.C and DV complaint are independent matters where maintenance on long term basis will be decided whereas u/s 24 HMA only interim maintenance during the pendency of main petition is not decided is only allowed. The interim maintenance cannot be made as maintenance order on permanent basis under section 125 Cr.P.C nor under the DV Act nor under section 25 HMA, each petition is independent and has to be decided individually. That is another matter that amount of maintenance allowed in any of these mentioned provisions may be same in quantum, wife get only one amount of maintenance whichever is higher.
The High Court will not quash the application under section 125 Cr.P.C nor DV Complainant just on the ground that order for interim maintenance u/s 24 HMA was allowed to wife and daughter.
