What is this about?

Modification of maintenance condition; Crl.M.P(MD)No.10242 of 2025 in Crl.RC(MD)No.102 of 2025; Madurai Bench of Madras High Court; Shamim Ahmed, J.; Section 528 BNSS 2023; Rs.3,00,000/- cash maintenance of children; last-chance compliance order dated 23.09.2025; modification petition rejected on 09.10.2025; no costs.

What did the court decide?

Since time had already been granted to the learned counsel for the respondent by this Court's order dated 23.09.2025 to comply with the Co-ordinate bench's order dated 17.07.2025, there was no justification to allow the modification petition. ¶48
