In a recent order dated 16.10.2025, the Hon’ble Judicial Magistrate (Mahila Court), Delhi, addressed repeated non-compliance by the petitioner in disclosing her financial details such as her bank account statement, led the court to view this as deliberate non-disclosure. Consequently, the application for interim maintenance was dismissed for non-prosecution, citing lack of diligence and mala fide intent.
The court has now directed the petitioner to file her evidence by affidavit before the next date of hearing, warning that any further default may result in dismissal or heavy costs.
This case underscores the judiciary’s firm stance on procedural compliance and the importance of transparency in financial disclosure during maintenance proceedings.
