You are ready to

argument:-
Section

cohabit with his wife. At any time you can ask your wife to cohabit with you.
If unreasonably she refused, she is not entitled to maintenance. Even after the
maintenance order you can give offer to your wife to live with you and if your wife
unreasonably refused to co habit with you her maintenance order may be
cancelled. Section 125(5) is codified as above:- “On proof that any wife in
whose favor an order has been made under this section is living in adultery, or
that without sufficient reason she refuses to live with her husband, or that
they are living separately by mutual consent, the Magistrate shall cancel the
order”.
Section 125(4) is codified as above:-
“No Wife shall be entitled to receive an allowance from her husband
under this section if she is living in adultery, or if, without any sufficient
reason, she refuses to live with her husband, or if they are living separately
by mutual consent.”

This reasoning of the learned
Chief Justice appeals to us.
We are concerned with the
Code which is complete on the topic and any defence against and order passed
under section 125 Crl.P.C. must be founded on a provision in the Code. Section
125 CrPC is a provisionto protect the weaker of the two parties, namely, the
neglected wife. If an order for maintenance has been made against the deserter
it will operate until vacated or altered in terms of the provisions of the Code
itself. If the husband has a case under Section 125 (4) (5) or section 127 of
the Code it is open to him to initiate appropriate proceedings.
But until the original order
for maintenance is modified or cancelled by a higher Court or is varied or
vacated in terms of section 125 (4) or (5) or section 127, its validity
survives. It is enforceable and no plea that there has been cohabitation in
interregnum or that there has been a compromise between the parties can hold
good as a valid defence. (SC) Bench Hbl JJ Krishna Iyer , V.R., Shingal, P.N.,
