The respondent herein had filed the Domestic Violence Complaint before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I at Arakkonam alleging domestic violence and cruelty by the petitioners herein. The first petitioner is the husband of the respondent, petitioners 2 and 3 are the parents of the first petitioner and the fourth petitioner is the sister of the first petitioner. Pending enquiry in the complaint, the learned Magistrate had directed the first petitioner to pay a sum of Rs.6,000/- per month. The first petitioner preferred appeal before the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge-II, Arakkonam in Crl.A.No.53 of 2025.

The appellate Court besides dismissing the appeal had enhanced the interim maintenance to Rs.25,000/- per month.
