IF COMPLAINANT DIES, LEGAL HEIRS CAN COLLECT MAINTENANCE DUES IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASE, RULED BY SESSION COURT IN MUMBAI


A sessions court in Mumbai ruled that the legal heirs of domestic violence victims can recover arrears if the complainant dies during pendency of the case. The court upheld a magistrate court order directing a 32-year-old Chembur resident to pay Rs 1.35 lakh in maintenance amount overdue to his mother-in-law. The amount was due to his estranged wife, Laxmi Waghmare, who died in October 2017. Laxmi filed harassment case against his husband and in-laws in 2015.
