Maintenance fraud

Two parallel options;
 

1. S. 340 CrPC (perjury) before same Court in interest of justice.
and/or
2. If a Family Court established under FCA, 1984 awarded said civil maintenance then a Writ before DB at State's HC to set - aside the same.

See which is less expensive proceeding (legal fees wise) to service in long run vis-a-vis overall arrears. 

With due respect to Tajobsindia, I slightly differ:

1.  If the order is to impugne S. 24 amount passed by the Addl. District judge, then appeal lies C.M. (M) lies before the single judge of the High Court to set aside the order and also stay application against execution.  If the impugned order was passed by the Family Court, then appeal lies before Division Bench under Section 19 of the Act.  There are instances of invoking writ jurisdiction under Article 227 but they are rare and when the matter comes for hearing, then judges hearing the cases generally advise to change it into C.M.(M).

2.  If the order is to impugne the amount awarded in DV case, then, appeal before the Sessions Court along with the appliation for stay.

If you were unhappy with the passing of maintanence under DV act you could have filed an appeal at the sessions court and brought a stay to the proceedings under DV act  .
