"Father's Duty Prevails: Court Affirms Father's Responsibility to Support Children Despite Mother's Employment"

In this case the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh emphasized that a father's obligation to support his children does not diminish simply because the mother is employed. This ruling arose from a case where the petitioner, a father, challenged an order requiring him to pay maintenance to his minor children.

Petitioners v. Respondents

Crl M(M) 443/2024

Before the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir at Laddakh

Heard by Hon'ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Dhar J

Background of the Case

The respondents, represented by their mother, had filed a petition under Section 125 Cr.P.C. before the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Budgam, alleging that their father (the petitioner) had treated their mother with cruelty and neglected to maintain them. As a result, they were dependent on their mother's earnings as a teacher.

The mother claimed that the petitioner, a technical engineer who had worked in Saudi Arabia, had the financial resources to support his children but chose not to. Despite his qualifications and past employment, he neglected his responsibilities, forcing the children to rely solely on their mother’s income for their education, food, and shelter.

Proceedings and Court Observations

The petitioner initially contested the allegations, arguing that he was a caring father and had paid for the children’s school fees and other expenses, but he was currently jobless. He also claimed that he had handed over all his earnings from Saudi Arabia to the mother, who had purchased property in her name. Additionally, he argued that since the mother was a government teacher with sufficient income, the responsibility of maintaining the children should not fall solely on him.

Despite filing objections, the petitioner failed to consistently attend the court proceedings, leading to an ex-parte decision on 23.08.2023. The trial magistrate, after evaluating the evidence, concluded that the children were neglected by the petitioner and unable to support themselves. Consequently, the court ordered the petitioner to pay a monthly maintenance of Rs. 4500 each to the children.

The petitioner then filed a revision petition, which was dismissed by the Principal Sessions Judge, Budgam. The petitioner contended that his income of Rs. 12,000 per month made it impossible for him to pay the ordered maintenance, especially as he also had to support his ailing parents. He also reiterated that the mother’s income should absolve him from this responsibility.

High Court’s Ruling

Justice Sanjay Dhar of the High Court dismissed the petitioner’s arguments, reaffirming that both legal and moral obligations bind the father to maintain his children, irrespective of the mother’s earnings. The court noted several key points:

Legal and Moral Duty: The father’s obligation to support his minor children is not negated by the fact that their mother has an income.

Financial Resources: The petitioner, a qualified engineer who had previously worked in Saudi Arabia, failed to provide evidence supporting his claim that he had no current income or that he had given all his earnings to the mother.

Evidence: The petitioner did not effectively rebut the evidence presented by the respondents regarding his financial status.

The High Court dismissed the case of the Petitioner-Father as the petition lacked merit and the Court upheld the maintenance order, of the Trial Magistrate ensuring that the father fulfills his responsibility towards his children despite the mother’s employment. This judgment underscores that a father's duty to provide for his children remains paramount and cannot be circumvented by the financial status of the mother.

[ID: A loosely drawn pet box with the WRU logo on the side as well as two handles instead of one. Below the box is written "Box lol". /end ID.]

Please check if your package is an WRU Pet Box.

The Box was sealed during the shipping process to avoid opening up and damaging your Pet on the way. To unlock it, remove the bolt of the door and pull the six locks arranged as 2 on the top, 2 at the bottom and more 2 on the left side. This should be enough to unlock your box.

Depending on the delivery, your boxie might have stayed in there from two to nine hours. Give it some time to come out of the package, and it should kneel in front of it.

Settling your new Pet

After taking your Box Boy out of the package, look for a green sheet that contains its information and history. That is your Pet Owner’s guide. Be sure to verify it is indeed your Pet and that it has not been any mistake in the shipping process.

Your Pet is now ready to serve you, but it needs you to state the boundaries and rules of your house, so it may act accordingly. You can let them in some room as you put the shipping package away.

Once you’re done, show your house to the Pet and tell it what its duties are gonna be. You might name it or assign a room and belongings to it, if you so wish, but be assured it doesn’t need any accomodations besides the basics to be in its best behavior.

If you have any doubts about accomodating your new Pet or how to handle it, please check our site for more information.

Thank you for trusting WRU with your comfort! :)

CW: prison escape, starvation, thirst, knives, headache, nausea, pushing through the pain, frustration, swearing

A/N: Made it to a part 3! Honestly didn't think I'd have the inspiration for more than the one part but here we are.

----------

For a prison, there was a remarkable lack of guards.

Draven led the way through the winding corridors that seemed to twist and turn at random, lit with torches that had to have been kept burning by magical means because they saw no other living being as they made their way through the prison. Their pace was slow, frustratingly so, with many of the former prisoners weak from hunger and thirst, walking with support from their healthier comrades.

Reprobus walked alongside him on his right, and the woman Draven had given one of his knives to, Gratia, on his left. The man with the remaining knife guarded the back of the group, watching the passage behind them with keen eyes.

When Draven had opened the door leading out of the chamber where he and the others had been imprisoned, he’d expected a fight. A couple guards, perhaps, the one whose boots he’d seen at the very least. Instead, the stone corridor was empty. So he had cautiously led the way out, listening for shouts or footsteps ahead.

Even now, several minutes later, the only sounds he heard were those made by his group. This section of the prison must've been left alone except to add new prisoners and remove the dead. What sort of insane person would think of trying to scale the ropes?

Clearly they hadn’t accounted for Draven’s particular breed of insanity.

The throbbing in his skull was getting worse by the minute. He gritted his teeth against the pain and continued walking. How much longer is this damned hallway?!

As it turned out, not much longer.

The corridor made one more sharp twist before abruptly ending at a blank wall. Draven stared at it, probing his aching mind to make sense of it all. “How… where… this was the only damn way to go!”

He punched the wall and immediately regretted it as his fist connected with solid rock, jarring his arm and shoulder painfully. Cursing, he turned around in a slow circle, eyes searching the walls for something, anything out of place. The group of prisoners whispered to each other, murmured explanations and muttered curses as the news traveled to the rear.

“Draven…” Reprobus touched his arm. Draven turned sharply, a few choice words on his tongue, but the other man simply pointed up. His eyes flicked to the ceiling, finding a wooden square that certainly did not belong with the stone blocks making up the corridor ceiling and walls. A trapdoor.

“Ah. Thank you.”

Gratia eyed the trapdoor critically. “I think I can get up there if you lift me.”

Draven opened his mouth to argue, but the simple act of looking up for more than a few seconds was making his head spin, so he snapped it shut and nodded. She motioned for him to crouch, and he did, interlocking his fingers together as a sort of platform for her to use as a boost to reach the trapdoor.

She wobbled on one foot, free hand firmly on the wall, the other tightly clutching his knife as he slowly raised her, keenly aware of how nausea began to curl in his stomach on top of the headache. The exertion was beginning to get to him. He didn’t know how much longer he had before his body just decided to give out.

Gratia carefully pushed on the trapdoor, displacing it and pushing it out of the way with barely a sound. “Little more!” She hissed, and Draven gritted his teeth before shoving her upward with all his strength. She made a strangled-sounding yelp at the unexpected thrust but managed to scramble through the opening. 

As soon as she was through, she vanished from sight. Draven’s stomach turned, not only from nausea. What if she leaves us behind? What if the guards get her? She can’t properly defend herself. What if she betrays us to the guards? What if—?

Gratia’s head appeared back over the trapdoor. “Found a ladder!” She called softly, the words followed by a scraping sound from above. 

Where in the depths did she find a—?

The ladder slid through the opening without warning and narrowly missed striking Reprobus in the shoulder. He jumped back, cursing.

“Sorry!”

Despite his body’s protests, Draven quickly ascended the rungs, ready for an ambush. It never came. Gratia was alone in a small room that appeared to have once been some sort of storage closet, the shelves long empty and coated in spider webs. “Where’d the ladder come from?”

“It was leaning against the wall outside,” Gratia said by way of explanation as if it was perfectly normal for a ladder to be left lying around unattended. Perhaps it was, here. Draven didn’t know and he certainly didn’t care.

“Alright…” he said softly as Reprobus came up through the trapdoor, the rest of the prisoners soon to follow. “Anyone around?”

Gratia shook her head. “No. But I think I know where we are now.”

Draven raised his eyebrows. “And that is…?”

“We’re inside the keep.”

“…where?”

“The keep? Where the king and his family live?”

…oh. Right. The big stone castle-like building at the center of the fortified walls of the city he and Octavian were visiting. The most secure place in the entire city, the entire country, even. 

“Well… shit.”

I need an espresso IV drip, but I'm up and on my way to work. Luckily, Neon sent me some really calming music last night, and it really helped me get some sleep- or else I would probably be calling out to catch up on rest x.x

Last night was really weird. Especially since my cats are normally very scared of people-so it made me really uneasy that they sat waiting at the door for almost an hour, like they used to when he came home from work. I want to be overreacting but they haven't done this since, and there was clearly someone out there on-and-off for an hour.

Gonna check with the front office when I get home to ask them if they saw anything odd. Cause our community gate is broken, but there's a couple cameras all over the complex. Briggs isn't happy either, since he knows Dabi-Ex tracked me down before to a friend's house, and sat parked outside after I got the restraining order.

Gonna be extra cautious over the next few days, but hopefully it will end up being nothing to worry about. Luckily Briggs will be here in a week and that'll make me feel much better.
