Section 125 CrPC | Maintenance Must Align with Wife's Self-Sufficiency, Not Husband's Capacity Alone : Bombay HC Stays Rs.50,000 Order
Bombay High Court holds that maintenance under Section 125 CrPC cannot exceed a wife's demonstrated needs, especially when she owns assets worth crores. The court stayed a Rs.50,000 monthly order, emphasizing the statutory requirement of 'inability to maintain herself' as a precondition for relief.
