Is there limit on maintenance under Section 125 CrPC?
My sister-in-law has filed a maintenance case under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Is there any legal cap or maximum limit on the amount that the Honourable Court can award as maintenance in such cases?

There is no fixed upper limit for maintenance under Section 125 CrPC. The court decides the amount based on the husband's income, the wife’s needs, and lifestyle. If you feel the demand is too high or unfair, you can present income proof and expenses to the court during hearings. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
