The Court treated maintenance as a continuing social welfare obligation and held that the later application was supplementary to the original claim, not a fresh execution step requiring a separate one-year limitation analysis for each accrual. The one-year proviso did not apply to defeat recovery of arrears already arising within the pending proceeding, so the rejection of the application on limitation grounds could not stand and the maintenance recovery process was directed to continue. en-us Fri, 06 May 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 15 Mar 2019 15:44:44 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279397 A timely maintenance proceeding under Section 125(3) CrPC that remains pending is not barred by limitation when a later application merely quantifies arrears accruing during that proceeding.
