This discussion addresses whether Section 10 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) can be used to stay a maintenance case filed under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). The consensus is that Section 10 CPC is generally not applicable to CrPC proceedings, as it pertains to previously instituted civil suits. While a stay under Section 10 CPC is unlikely, the advice suggests challenging the interim maintenance order directly on its quantum, as CrPC provisions govern these cases, not CPC.
