Before parting this order, this Court would like to add that since by various pronouncements by various Hon’ble Courts it has been held that the remedy of an appeal under section 16(1) of the Act of 2007 is available to all the aggrieved persons including the children and relatives. The Addl. Solicitor General of India Mr. R.D. Rastogi, Senior Advocate also stated before the Court that the remedy of an appeal under section 16(1) of the Act of 2007 is available to all the aggrieved persons including the children and relatives but because of non-mentioning in Section 16 of the Act of 2007 that the children and the relatives could also file an appeal, the confusion remains in legal fraternity and the general public which leads them to invoke the writ jurisdiction against the orders of the Maintenance Tribunal. 24. In view of the observations of the Hon’ble Courts and the statement made by learned Addl. Solicitor General of India, this Court expects from the Union of India to take necessary steps for issuing orders, circulars or amendments in consonance with the observations, findings of the Hon’ble Courts and the statement of Addl. Solicitor General of India in regard to the [2026:RJ-JP:24770] (3 of 3) [CW-10437/2026] remedy of filing of an appeal to the children and relatives under the provision of Section 16(1) of the Act of 2007. ;kphx.k dh vksj ls U;k;ky; ftyk dysDVj ,oa ftyk eftLVªsV] t;iqj ds le{k izLrqr vihy varxZr /kkjk 16 ekrk&firk vkSj ofj"B ukxfjdksa dk Hkj.k&iks"k.k rFkk dY;k.k vf/kfu;e] 2007 bl vk/kkj ij fujLr dh xbZ gS fd iq=&iq=o/kw dh vksj ls izLrqr vihy iks"k.kh; ugha gSA tcfd bl U;k;ky; dh led{k ihB }kjk ikfjr fu.kZ;] ftldk Åij mYys[k fd;k x;k gS] esa ;g Li"V :i ls fu.khZr gS fd cPpksa dks Hkh vf/kfu;e dh /kkjk 5 ds izko/kkuksa ds varxZr ikfjr vkns'k ls O;fFkr gksus ij mlds fo#) vihy varxZr /kkjk 16 ekrk&firk vkSj ofj"B ukxfjdksa dk Hkj.k&iks"k.k rFkk dY;k.k vf/kfu;e] 2007 esa djus dk vf/kdkj gS vkSj mudh vihy iks"k.kh; ekuh xbZ gSA ,slh fLFkfr esa ;g fjV ;kfpdk Lohdkj dh tkrh gS vkSj fo}ku U;k;ky; ftyk dysDVj ,oa ftyk eftLVªsV] t;iqj }kjk ikfjr vkns'k fnukad 11-05- 2026 dks vikLr fd;k tkrk gS vkSj mUgsa funsZf'kr fd;k tkrk gS fd os ;kphx.k }kjk izLrqr vihy la[;k 14@2026 ¼ofj"B ukxfjd vihy½ dSyk'k lSuh cuke Jherh NksVk nsoh o vU; dks iqu% uacj ij ysrs gq, rFkk mls iks"k.kh; ekurs gq, nksuksa i{kksa dks lqudj xq.kkoxq.k ij fuLrkfjr djsaA blh vuqlkj ;g ;kfpdk] LFkxu ,oa fofo/k izkFkZuk&i= ;fn dksbZ gksa] rks os Hkh mDrkuqlkj fuLrkfjr fd, tkrs gSaA (SHUBHA MEHTA),J 25/NIMIT GOYAL
