Allahabad HC Rules Mother Cannot Claim Maintenance from Step-Son After Biological Son
The Allahabad High Court ruled that a mother receiving maintenance from her biological son under Section 125 of the CrPC cannot seek additional maintenance from her step-son. The court dismissed her petition challenging a Family Court order that held only her biological son liable to pay Rs 8,000 monthly. It noted that once maintenance is granted from one son with sufficient means, the mother is considered capable of self-maintenance, and the step-son cannot be held liable.
