Introduction
By virtue of Article 141 of the Constitution, the power has been conferred upon the Supreme Court to declare the law of the land binding on the lower courts within the territory of the India. The law declared is the principle culled out on reading of a judgment as a whole in the light of the question raised.
Similarly this article throws the light upon one of such landmark judgments of the Apex Court i.e. Rajnesh Vs. Neha2, which has obtained the recognition in a procedural framework of legal proceedings of the matrimonial cases; especially for the decisive stage of the interim maintenance. On 4th November, 2020 a division bench of the Supreme Court consisting of Indu Malhotra and Subhash Reddy JJ laid down the comprehensive guidelines in the said judgment to govern the issue of maintenance in matrimonial matters3.
