The applicant was living separately from her husband and filed a petition under Section 125 of Cr. P.C. in which she was granted maintenance of Rs. 3,000/- per month, which was later enhanced to Rs. 13,000/- per month on the application under Section 127 of Cr. P.C. for enhancement. This maintenance amount was paid to her till the death of her husband, after which the sons did not pay anything to the applicant.
