Allahabad HC: Mother Cannot Seek Maintenance From Stepson After Real Son Pays

The Allahabad High Court ruled on Tuesday that a mother cannot claim maintenance from her stepson if she is already receiving it from her biological son.

The court held that once a mother is no longer incapable of supporting herself, she loses legal grounds for a subsequent maintenance order. The ruling effectively bars double maintenance claims across biological and step-relations under these circumstances.
