Dear All,
Stepmother’ is entitled to maintenance by her stepson under Section 125 (i)(d) of the CrPC

Shree Sir,
Thanks for the info. I was not aware of such decisions.
Adv Archana Deshmukh (Practicing Advocate) 19 October 2009
There are conflicting decisions of different HCs on whether a step mother comes within the defination of mother .
Rewalal vs Kamalabai- 1986 CrLJ 282 MP. The HC has held that she does not.
Rajesh Kumar (Advocate) 20 October 2009
Step mother is not a mother for a mother cannot be defined as any wife of father.
