Court dismisses Dhananjay Munde’s appeal against order to pay maintenance

NCP leader Dhananjay Munde's appeal for maintenance dismissed, claims he was never married to the woman.
A sessions court in Mumbai on Saturday (April 5, 2025) dismissed NCP leader and former Maharashtra Minister Dhananjay Munde’s appeal against the interim order of a magistrate directing him to pay maintenance to a woman who claims to be his first wife.
The plea was dismissed by additional sessions judge Shaikh Akbar Shaikh Jafar. The detailed order was not available yet.
The Nationalist Congress Party leader had claimed in his appeal that he was never married to Karuna Munde, the applicant.
The magistrate did not apply his mind and passed an arbitrary order, he had argued.
The Bandra magistrate court on February 4 had partly allowed Karuna Munde's plea and directed Dhananjay Munde to pay ₹1,25,000 per month to her and ₹75,000 per month to their daughter as interim maintenance.
The woman filed a domestic violence case against the NCP leader in 2020 and asked for interim maintenance. The magistrate is yet to decide the main plea.
