A wife tried to stop her husband's pension benefits because he didn't pay the maintenance ordered by the family court. However, the Madras High Court dismissed her plea, by holding that maintenance orders must be enforced through proper execution proceedings and not through a writ petition.
This ruling (case no. W.P.(MD) No.14786 of 2026, dated June 4, 2026) was made in the context of a failed marriage between a wife and an employee of the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC). She had filed several legal cases against him in both the family court and the civil court, eventually securing an order directing him to pay her monthly maintenance.
