SC to examine appeal by siblings from T.N. against HC order asking to pay monthly maintenance to father
The Supreme Court has decided to examine an appeal filed by siblings from Tamil Nadu against a Madras High Court order directing them to pay monthly maintenance of ₹2,500 to their “wayward” father.
The sister and brothers complained that their father drank, had illicit relationships and cared nothing for them when they were children who needed his care and protection.
It was their mother, with her meagre earnings from taking tuition and by pledging her jewellery, who helped them stay afloat and in school after the father abandoned the family.
