The petitioner/husband challenged a Family Court order dated 24.01.2018 (Principal Judge, Family Court, Chhatarpur) that awarded Rs. 6,000/- per month maintenance to the respondent/wife under Section 125 CrPC, arguing that the wife was living in adultery and therefore disentitled to maintenance. The husband relied on a compact disc (CD) and transcript of recorded telephonic conversations as evidence of adultery. The Madhya Pradesh High Court found that the Family Court, while acknowledging the existence of the CD and transcript, had failed to consider the entire contents of the transcript (particularly pages 39–42) before recording its finding on adultery. Relying on the Supreme Court decisions in Himanshu Chordia v. State of Rajasthan (2026 SCC OnLine SC 1461) and Vibhor Garg v. Neha (2025) 10 SCC 128, the High Court underscored that electronic evidence such as recorded conversations is admissible and must be properly evaluated, and that an adultery plea under Section 125(4) CrPC must be decided on merits after considering all available evidence.
