⚖️ LEGAL LEARNING
Shri Ganpati Jurists
Ankit Saha v. State of U.P.
Allahabad High Court
Maintenance under Section 125 Cr.P.C.
A woman who is educated, professionally qualified, and earning sufficient income for her own maintenance is not entitled to claim maintenance from her husband.
✦ Key Judicial Insights ✦
• Financial Independence is Decisive
Section 125 Cr.P.C. is meant to prevent destitution — not to create entitlement where the wife is self-sufficient.
• Substantial Income Bars Maintenance
A gainfully employed wife with adequate monthly earnings and no proven liabilities cannot seek maintenance.
• Clean Hands Doctrine
Litigants must approach the Court with honesty, transparency, and complete disclosure.
• Suppression of Material Facts
Concealing employment or income amounts to abuse of process and disentitles relief.
⚖️ Legal Principle
Law assists the vigilant, not those who conceal facts.
Maintenance law is a shield against hardship — not a weapon for unjust enrichment.
