maintenance under Section 125 of the Code

Three questions arise for our consideration;

(i) whether interim maintenance could be awarded in absence of specific express provision in the Code;

(ii) whether the applicant-wife and her daughter are entitled to maintenance from the date of the order passed by the Family Court or from the date of application made by them under Section 125 of the Code; and

(iii) what could be the amount of maintenance which could be awarded by the
Court.
