Payment of JD amount or Jail for maximum 1 month for each JD Execution payment default is the maximum punishment he can undergo as per Law. Once done that (means been to Jail) you can't recover that period's amount which is settled principal of Law. Seems this husband is a tough case and he prefers jail but will not pay maintenance to his wife at any cost :-)

You can always file civil suit for recovery of the said arrears amount when the scope for enforcing the order gets exhausted by the CrPC.
