The respondent thereafter filed another petition U/s.12 of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 on 28/7/2017 alongwith an application U/s.23 of the Act for grant of monetary relief. The respondent then filed an application under Section 125 Cr. P.C., on 6/12/2017, which has now been allowed and a maintenance of Rs.15,000.00 per month has been granted.
