Madras High Court Rules on Maintenance Payment and Pension Dispute Cases
The Madras High Court addressed two cases involving unpaid maintenance by estranged husbands. In one, the court upheld an order directing a retired Army pensioner and LIC agent to pay Rs 8,000 monthly to his wife, rejecting his claim of being thrown out. In another, the court dismissed a woman's plea to stop her husband's pension over unpaid maintenance, advising her to seek enforcement through appropriate legal channels rather than a writ petition.
