The Allahabad High Court has issued notice to PCS officer Jyoti Maurya on an appeal by her estranged husband, Alok Kumar Maurya, challenging the rejection of his maintenance plea.
Alok, a sanitation worker, sought maintenance under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, citing poor health and low income and his wife’s comparatively higher status as an administrative officer.
He alleged he supported Jyoti’s PCS journey but was later abandoned. The court also sought an English translation of the family court order and is considering condonation of a 77-day filing delay. A division bench listed the matter for August 8, 2025.
