Hi,
One of my client is in live relationship with a person for last six years. She is not legally divorced. Now that person has deserted her. She has already filed a criminal case against him under sections 417 and 420 of IPC. Now she wants to file a maintenance case against him. Is it possible ? if so please guide me with precedents.

There is no legalised live in relationships in India, nor the constitution has provided. As she is not legally divorced from her husband I don't think she will get any respite in the court of law.It is a clear case of bigamy on her part.

Far divorce from earlier marriage you have to prove first that the first marriage was legal.
So far maintenance it will be granted once the husband admits that they were living together.
Earlier husband must have remarried so no case of bigamy can be made out.
