Mother cannot seek maintenance from step-son after getting it from real son: Allahabad HC

Allahabad High Court ruled that a mother cannot seek maintenance from her step-son if she is already receiving maintenance from her biological son.

Justice Lakshmi Kant Shukla of the Allahabad High Court issued the order on July 14.

The ruling came in response to a criminal revision petition filed by a woman challenging a Family Court order.

The Family Court had directed only the woman's biological son to pay ₹8,000 per month in maintenance.
