Thanks for the answer but is not clear to me.
IS IT FOR BOTH PETITIONER AND RESPONDENT OR ONLY FOR PETITIONER (one who files case for dv first) ?
Thank you

From the perusal of Section 24, it is abundantly clear that the object and intent of this Section is to enable the husband or the wife, as the case may be, who has no independent source of income for his or her support and necessary expense of proceedings under the
Act to obtain maintenance expenses pendent lite so that the proceedings may be continued without any hardships on his or her part. The benefits granted under this Section are only temporary in nature and there are other provisions of law where a wife, who is not able to maintain herself, can claim maintenance/permanent alimony from the husband e.g. Section 25 of HMA or under provisions of Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act.

Doesnot matter petitioner or respondent, doesnot matter husband or wife.
