Section 125 BNS-Clarifying Eligibility and Benefits Under Section 125 BNS

Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) provides a legal mechanism for ensuring maintenance for neglected spouses, children, and elderly parents. Under this section, any individual unable to maintain themselves can seek maintenance from their financially capable relatives or partners. This provision aims to offer financial support and ensure that those in need are not left destitute due to neglect or incapacity. Advocates play a crucial role in navigating these legal proceedings, representing clients in seeking or contesting maintenance claims, and ensuring that justice is served in accordance with the principles of fairness and equity.
