Section 12 & 23 DV Act | Ex Parte Interim Maintenance Permissible Despite Parallel CrPC 125 Order: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has affirmed that a Magistrate under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act may grant ex parte interim maintenance even when a parallel maintenance order exists under Section 125 CrPC. This reinforces the DV Act’s independent remedial purpose and ensures women are not denied urgent financial relief due to procedural overlaps in civil and criminal forums.
