As per case facts, two unmarried daughters sought maintenance from their father under Section 125 Cr.P.C. The Family Court granted them a certain monthly amount. Dissatisfied with the quantum, the ... daughters appealed to the High Court for enhancement, highlighting their unemployment, educational pursuits, and their father's substantial income, while their mother also earned. The father contended that major daughters are not entitled to maintenance under Section 125 Cr.P.C. The question arose whether an unmarried major daughter is entitled to maintenance from her parents under Section 125 Cr.P.C., and if so, under what circumstances. Finally, the High Court ruled that if a maintenance petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C. is filed before a Family Court (which also has jurisdiction under Section 20(3) of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956), an unmarried major daughter, unable to maintain herself, is entitled to maintenance to avoid multiplicity of proceedings. The court enhanced the maintenance amount.
