Nanak Chand vs. Chandra Kishore Agarwal (AIR
1970 SC 446) wherein the Hon'ble Apex Court has held
that
the word “child” in Section 488 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure, 1898 did not mean a minor son or
daughter and that the real limitation was contained in
the expression “unable to maintain itself”. Irrespective
of whether a son or daughter was a major or minor, a
father was bound to maintain the son or daughter if
such son or daughter was unable to maintain himself
or herself.
