Mumbai Sessions Court Upholds Rs 12,000 Monthly Childcare Order in Domestic Violence Case

The Dindoshi court affirmed a magistrate's interim maintenance ruling under the Domestic Violence Act to ensure childcare while litigation continues.

Overview

  • Sessions Judge M. Mohiuddin M. A. on February 6 dismissed the father's appeal against a 2022 interim order.
  • The directive requires a Rs 12,000 monthly payment toward a full-time maid or daycare for twin daughters in the mother's custody.
  • The court said parents must maintain children with dignity and deemed the magistrate's relief "just and proper."
  • The mother sought childcare support so she can work, while the father denies abuse and disputes her income, claims that remain contested.
  • The matter arises from a 2021 complaint following the couple's 2017 marriage and years working in Abu Dhabi before returning to Mumbai.
