Understand that if divorce petition is made along with evidence of woman contracting STD,but not from husband then maintnance can be denied. I realise that the matter is stated simplistically, but would like to know if there are any judgement linking the two. The query is in context of false (template) cases filed filed by th wife under 498a and DV as a counterblast to husband's DP after a gap of 3 and 6 months respecively. The couple is childless and have been married for 10 years.
