‭1.‬ ‭That‬ ‭the‬ ‭Petitioner‬ ‭has‬ ‭filed‬ ‭the‬ ‭present‬‭maintenance‬‭application‬‭under‬‭Section‬


‭125‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭Code‬ ‭of‬ ‭Criminal‬ ‭Procedure,‬ ‭1973,‬ ‭against‬ ‭the‬ ‭Respondent,‬ ‭who‬ ‭is‬
‭the father of the minor child.‬
‭2.‬ ‭That‬‭the‬‭Petitioner,‬‭who‬‭is‬‭the‬‭mother‬‭of‬‭the‬‭minor‬‭child,‬‭is‬‭currently‬‭employed‬‭as‬
‭a Women Police Constable in Kerala Police and is earning a regular salary.‬
‭3.‬ ‭That‬‭as‬‭per‬‭the‬‭settled‬‭law‬‭in‬‭Padmja‬‭Sharma‬‭vs.‬‭Ratan‬‭Lal‬‭Sharma‬‭(28‬‭March,‬
‭2000),‬ ‭when‬ ‭both‬ ‭parents‬ ‭are‬ ‭earning,‬ ‭they‬ ‭are‬ ‭bound‬ ‭to‬ ‭maintain‬ ‭the‬ ‭child‬
‭proportionately.‬
‭4.‬ ‭That‬ ‭as‬ ‭per‬ ‭the‬ ‭guidelines‬ ‭set‬ ‭forth‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭Hon’ble‬ ‭Supreme‬ ‭Court‬ ‭judgment‬ ‭in‬
‭Rajnesh‬‭vs.‬‭Neha,‬‭the‬‭Petitioner‬‭is‬‭obligated‬‭to‬‭file‬‭a‬‭full‬‭Disclosure‬‭of‬‭Asset‬‭and‬
‭Liability‬ ‭Statement,‬ ‭along‬ ‭with‬ ‭three‬ ‭years‬ ‭of‬ ‭bank‬ ‭account‬ ‭transactions.‬
‭However,‬ ‭the‬ ‭minor‬ ‭Petitioner’s‬ ‭mother‬ ‭has‬ ‭not‬ ‭produced‬ ‭these‬ ‭mandatory‬
‭documents before this Hon’ble Court.‬
‭5.‬ ‭That‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭judgment‬ ‭of‬ ‭Aditi‬ ‭Alias‬ ‭Mithi‬ ‭vs.‬ ‭Jithesh‬ ‭Sharma,‬ ‭the‬ ‭Hon’ble‬
‭Supreme‬ ‭Court‬ ‭has‬ ‭strictly‬ ‭directed‬ ‭the‬ ‭lower‬ ‭courts‬ ‭to‬ ‭strictly‬ ‭observe‬ ‭the‬
‭Rajnesh‬ ‭vs.‬ ‭Neha‬ ‭guidelines.‬ ‭Therefore,‬ ‭it‬ ‭is‬ ‭imperative‬ ‭that‬ ‭the‬ ‭Petitioner‬
‭complies with these guidelines before the maintenance proceedings continue.‬
‭PRAYER:‬

‭In‬‭light‬‭of‬‭the‬‭above,‬‭the‬‭Respondent‬‭most‬‭respectfully‬‭prays‬‭before‬‭this‬‭Hon’ble‬‭Court‬
‭as follows:‬

‭1.‬ ‭That‬ ‭further‬ ‭proceedings‬ ‭in‬ ‭MC‬ ‭70/2023‬ ‭be‬ ‭stayed‬ ‭until‬ ‭the‬ ‭minor‬ ‭Petitioner’s‬

‭years‬ ‭of‬ ‭bank‬ ‭account‬ ‭transactions.‬ ‭Without‬ ‭these‬ ‭essential‬ ‭documents,‬ ‭the‬
‭quantum‬ ‭of‬ ‭maintenance‬ ‭cannot‬ ‭be‬ ‭fairly‬ ‭assessed,‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬ ‭entire‬ ‭financial‬
‭burden will unjustly fall upon the Respondent.‬
‭2.‬ ‭That‬‭the‬‭date‬‭of‬‭submission‬‭of‬‭the‬‭maintenance‬‭petition‬‭be‬‭considered‬‭only‬‭when‬
‭the‬ ‭above-mentioned‬ ‭mandatory‬ ‭documents‬ ‭are‬ ‭duly‬ ‭submitted‬ ‭before‬ ‭this‬
‭Hon’ble Court by the Petitioner.‬
‭3.‬ ‭That‬ ‭this‬ ‭Hon’ble‬ ‭Court‬ ‭may‬ ‭consider‬‭that‬‭the‬‭Respondent‬‭is‬‭solely‬‭responsible‬
‭for‬ ‭maintaining‬ ‭his‬ ‭aged‬ ‭parents,‬ ‭who‬ ‭are‬ ‭now‬ ‭above‬ ‭70‬ ‭years‬ ‭old,‬ ‭while‬
‭deciding the quantum of maintenance.‬
‭4.‬ ‭Any‬ ‭other‬ ‭relief‬ ‭that‬ ‭this‬ ‭Hon’ble‬ ‭Court‬ ‭may‬ ‭deem‬ ‭fit‬ ‭and‬ ‭just‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬
‭circumstances of the case may kindly be granted to the Respondent.‬

‭AND‬ ‭FOR‬ ‭THIS‬ ‭ACT‬ ‭OF‬ ‭KINDNESS,‬ ‭THE‬ ‭RESPONDENT‬ ‭AS‬ ‭IN‬ ‭DUTY‬ ‭BOUND‬
‭SHALL EVER PRAY.‬

‭Dated this 01 day of February, 2025.‬
