PWDVA Section 20(1)(d) | Education Expenses for Minor Children Constitute Maintenance: MP High Court Overturns Rejection of Tuition Fee Claim
Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that education expenses, including tuition fees for professional courses, fall under 'maintenance' for minor children under Section 20(1)(d) of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. The judgment sets aside a lower court's rejection of a Rs. 12.74 lakh claim, reinforcing that financial support for children's education is a statutory obligation regardless of the father's caste or government aid.
