Sec 125 crpc lok adalat

(Querist) 13 November 2014 This query is : Resolved 
Hi Seniors,

Wife files a maintenance case against husband in the year 1994 and later in the year 2004 the matter was refered to lok adalat and there by the matter was compromised and the wife waived the arrears of the maintenance and joins husband. Now in the year 2014 wife again files a petition claiming arrears of maintenance from 1994 to till date. Wife pleads that the LOK ADALAT award is not binding on her.

Whether her petitin is maintainable as she pleads that though the award is passed her maintenance claim is not closed.

Regards
Jeevan
