The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that interim maintenance under BNSS cannot be granted without verified income evidence, reducing a ₹7,000 award to ₹5,000. The court emphasized that trial courts must base maintenance orders on reasoned, evidence-backed assessments to ensure procedural fairness and prevent arbitrary awards.

Bombay High Court upholds maintenance order under Section 125 CrPC, holding that alleged loss of income must be substantiated by documentary evidence, not mere assertions.
