Sh. Mukesh Khurana v. Smt. Minakshi & Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
Delhi High Court order dated 20.01.2026 by Justice Saurabh Banerjee dismissing criminal revision petition CRL.REV.P. 497/2024 (with connected CRL.M.A. 11183/2024, CRL.M.A. 11184/2024, CRL.M.A. 21742/2024) filed by Sh. Mukesh Khurana against Smt. Minakshi & Anr. Keywords: ad interim maintenance; child maintenance; minor child Master Mohit (respondent no.2); non-payment; arrears; execution petitions pending; dismissal of revision petition; maintenance order dated 15.09.2023 @ Rs.3,000/- per month w.e.f. 24.05.2023; total payment of Rs.4,000/-; four-week direction to Learned Executing Court; abuse of pendency of petition. Useful for matters concerning enforcement of interim maintenance orders and dismissal of revision petitions filed without clearing maintenance dues.
What did the court decide?
Having paid only Rs.4,000/- since the impugned order and making no attempt, despite pending execution petitions, either to clear the arrears or to pay the ad interim maintenance, the petitioner is simply trying to take advantage of the filing/pendency of the present petition for almost two years; the same is not acceptable.
