The Code of Criminal Procedure (Madhya Pradesh Amendment) Act, 2022
This Act amends the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, specifically modifying Section 126 to add new conditions applicable within the state of Madhya Pradesh. By inserting a new proviso (referencing Section 125(1)(g) for the definition of the person or child), it creates a framework where the claims for maintenance may be subject to deferment or specific scrutiny based on whether the person or child generally fits the stipulated criteria. The law directly affects those seeking to recover financial maintenance and their dependents, setting a state-level precedent that could alter the immediate enforcement of family maintenance orders in compliance with new policy guidelines. It came into force immediately upon publication in the official Gazette (Section 1(2)). Please note the text uses the short title "Criminal Law (Madhya Pradesh Amendment) Act, 2019", while metadata suggests 2022.
