Section 31 DV Act | Civil Imprisonment Does Not Extinguish Maintenance Arrears; Property Attachment Permissible : Allahabad HC
Allahabad High Court rules that civil imprisonment for non-payment of maintenance under the Domestic Violence Act does not absolve the defaulter of arrears. The court may attach property to recover unpaid maintenance with interest, reinforcing maintenance as an enforceable right, not a discretionary privilege.
