While hearing a petition filed by the man claiming that a
2010 order, asking him to pay Rs 20,000 as monthly maintenance to his
daughters, was now invalid as his wife had approached the court only in 2015.
He claimed the limitation period in such cases was 3 years, the Bombay high
court ruled that orders of the family court for maintenance can be enforced up
to 12 years from the time the order is passed. The court said that when there
is a limitation period provided under Article 136 for execution of order of the
civil court, the decree or order of family court under Hindu Marriage Act is
permitted to be executed within 12 years.
