'Liability for kid’s maintenance mother’s too, not just dad’s'

A single bench of Justice Pankaj Purohit of the Uttarakhand high court on Friday delivered what was termed by judicial watchers ‘a landmark judgment’ that specified that both parents were liable for maintenance of a child, and not just the father. The judgment drew upon the recent amendment to Section 125 of the CrPC (relating to maintenance of wives, children and parents) and interpretation of the word ‘person’ to mean both genders.
