Mother earning = Father pays less? Not automatically.

The Supreme Court has clarified an important point in child maintenance matters.

In Sujata Kumari & Ors. v. Rahul Kumar & Anr., 2026 INSC 896:

• Mother was earning ₹1.5 lakh/month
• Father stated his income was ₹2 lakh/month
• High Court reduced maintenance for each daughter from ₹30,000 to ₹15,000
• Supreme Court restored ₹30,000 per month for each daughter

The Court said that the mother’s earnings, by themselves, are not a reason to halve the father’s liability.

The responsibility of parents towards their children cannot simply be divided through arithmetic. The daily care and upbringing of children also represents a real contribution.

Can a senior citizen simply use the Senior Citizens Act to evict a son from property? ⚖️

Not necessarily.

In M. Pounammal v. Vinayagam, the Madras High Court considered a case where a mother sought eviction of her son from her property under the Senior Citizens Act.

The Court held that a complaint filed only for eviction, without seeking maintenance, could not be maintained under the Act.

At the same time, eviction can be possible where it is necessary and expedient to ensure the maintenance and protection of the senior citizen.

The Senior Citizens Act is a protective law — not a shortcut for every property dispute.

Before taking action, the correct legal remedy must be identified.

ONE APPEAL OR TWO? ⚖️

The Supreme Court has clarified an important question concerning suits and counterclaims.

If both are decided by a common judgment, a composite appeal is maintainable.

But remember:

✅ Grounds against the suit decree must be stated separately
✅ Grounds against the counterclaim decree must be stated separately
✅ Appeal must be valued as two appeals
✅ Court fees must be paid for both

This applies whether one decree or two decrees are drawn up.

CAN A SMALL CONTRACTOR FILE A CONSUMER COMPLAINT?

Yes — depending on the facts.

In Rakesh Kumar Gupta v. Suraya Steel Hardware, the NCDRC held that a person undertaking a small construction contract for earning his livelihood through self-employment can fall within the definition of a “consumer” under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.

The Commission also clarified that merely employing a few labourers does not automatically make the purchase a commercial transaction.

🔹 Small construction contract
🔹 Material purchased for executing the work
🔹 Not purchased for resale
🔹 Livelihood through self-employment

Key takeaway: The dominant purpose and nature of the transaction matter.

🚨 Can Interim Maintenance Be Refused Before the Final Decision?

Let’s understand with a simple example.

👨 A and 👩 B are husband and wife.

➡️ B files an application for interim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC.

➡️ A files an application under Section 125(4) CrPC, alleging that B is living in adultery and relies on photographs, videos, and other electronic evidence.

❓Should the Court wait until the final judgment to decide A’s application?

⚖️ Supreme Court: Not always.

If there is clear, cogent and prima facie evidence supporting the statutory bar under Section 125(4) CrPC, the Court may examine that issue at the intermediate stage itself.

⚠️ But remember:
✔ Mere allegations are not enough.
✔ Electronic evidence must satisfy legal requirements.
✔ Every case depends on its own facts and evidence.

⚖️ MYTH vs FACT

❌ Myth: If the opposite party is ex parte, you’ve already won.

✅ Fact: You must still prove your case with proper evidence.

Courts do not grant relief simply because the other side is absent. Your pleadings, documents, and evidence must establish your legal right.

📚 Legal Tip:
An ex parte order does not remove your burden of proof.

⚖️ Supreme Court | M/s Tata Steel Ltd. v. Varsha

The Supreme Court reaffirmed the “Clean Slate” Principle under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

✅ Once a Resolution Plan is approved under Section 31(1) of the IBC, all claims not crystallized or included in the approved plan stand extinguished.

This ensures that the Successful Resolution Applicant takes over the corporate debtor free from unresolved past liabilities, providing certainty and promoting effective insolvency resolution.

Key Takeaway:
Only claims forming part of the approved Resolution Plan survive. Unresolved or unquantified claims cannot be pursued thereafter.
