Section 126 CrPC | Arbitrary Costs for Restoration Applications Violate Natural Justice: Allahabad HC
Allahabad High Court rules that imposing 50% of maintenance arrears as a precondition for restoration applications under Section 126 CrPC is arbitrary and illegal. The Court reduced the cost to Rs. 1,00,000, reinforcing that procedural requirements must align with principles of natural justice and cannot impose undue financial burdens on litigants.
