Section 8(b) Family Courts Act | Gram Nyayalaya Lacks Jurisdiction to Modify Family Court Maintenance Orders: Allahabad HC
Allahabad High Court reinforces jurisdictional boundaries by holding that Gram Nyayalayas cannot review or overturn maintenance orders passed by Family Courts under Section 125 CrPC. The ruling clarifies that Section 8(b) of the Family Courts Act, 1984, exclusively vests such powers with Family Courts, preventing parallel adjudication by magistrates.
