Telangana High Court: maintenance judgements

High Court decisions matter in a way Supreme Court decisions do not: they are what the district courts in Telangana actually see cited across the desk. If your matter is being heard in Telangana, these are closer to your case than anything from Delhi or from the Supreme Court.

Figures are shown as the court wrote them, with the equivalent in today's money underneath wherever the gap is large enough to matter. Use the filters to narrow by provision, award type or outcome.

Across the 3 monthly awards here where a figure was reported, restated in today's money, the middle one is Rs 12,439 a month and the range runs from Rs 10,656 to Rs 4,26,227. That spread is the point: there is no going rate, and anyone quoting one is guessing.

50% of these were claimed under Section 125 CrPC, which is the route most people here end up using.

Of the reported outcomes, 2 were granted or enhanced and 0 refused or dismissed. Reported case law skews towards contested appeals, so read that as the shape of what gets appealed rather than of what gets ordered.

The oldest judgement indexed here is from 2024.
