Whether wife can be denied maintenance on that the ground she has not challenged judgment of acquittal passed in favour of husband in offence U/S 498A of IPC?
Merely because the respondent / husband was acquitted from
the prosecution launched against him U/Section 498[A] of the Indian Penal
Code, 1860 and as no further Cri.Revision / Cri.Appeal was preferred that
by itself does not mean that Applicant No.1 was not refused and neglected
to maintain by respondent/husband. In absence of the Judgment of acquittal
on record, the Revisional Court ought not to have readily reached to the
conclusion only on that ground that, the applicant was not neglected by the
respondent husband.
