The Jabalpur High Court has annulled a monthly alimony order of ₹6,000 issued by the Chhatarpur Family Court, citing the need to examine electronic evidence related to alleged extramarital affairs.
The Jabalpur High Court today struck down a ₹6,000 monthly alimony order that had been issued by the Chhatarpur Family Court. The decision was taken after the higher court noted that the wife’s alleged extramarital relationships were supported by electronic evidence that had not yet been examined.
The High Court stated that any judgment on alimony must be based on a thorough investigation of all relevant evidence, including digital records. As a result, the alimony order will remain suspended until the court can review the material.
A fresh judgment will be delivered once the electronic evidence has been scrutinized. The parties involved will be notified of the next steps.
The cancellation underscores the importance of due process in family court matters and signals that the High Court will not enforce financial orders without a complete factual basis.
