Accused has been missing after being ordered to pay maintenance to his wife, daughter
The Allahabad High Court has directed the Varanasi police to explain why it has been unable to trace a man, who has been missing for over four years after a lower court directed him to pay maintenance to his wife after alleged domestic violence.
The court said the “pitiable predicament” of the woman, who was “grappling from pillar to post and getting hoodwinked by multifarious impediments,” was an “archetype illustration of the loopholes in way of our criminal justice system.”
The woman had filed a case under domestic violence against her husband and on November 4, 2016, a lower court had directed him to provide a separate living room to his wife and their daughter along with ₹1,000 as maintenance. The court passed another order saying that if the husband did not comply with the first order, the SHO of Sarnath shall have to ensure compliance.
