#Inflation and Maintenance

Chhattisgarh High Court upholds maintenance enhancement under Section 146 BNSS, ruling that inflation and the lapse of time constitute material changes warranting reasonable revision. The judgment reinforces that financial hardship and rising living costs can justify increased maintenance, even if the original order was based on a compromise.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that inflation and rising cost of living justify maintenance enhancement under Section 127 CrPC after eight years, even without fresh evidence of changed circumstances.
