Section 125 CrPC | Maintenance Must Be Awarded From Date of Application, Not Order: MP HC Gwalior Reinforces Rajnesh v. Neha Principle
The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that maintenance under Section 125 CrPC must be calculated from the date of the application, not the order, aligning with the Supreme Court's precedent in Rajnesh v. Neha. This ensures financial relief for dependents from the earliest possible date, preventing prolonged hardship during litigation.
