Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

In Part B IV of Rajnesh v. Neha, the Supreme Court directed that maintenance be awarded from the date on which the application was made. The final directions repeat this rule to secure uniformity and consistency. The period spent awaiting adjudication is outside the applicant’s control.

Option feedback

Option A

The directions use the application date to avoid making the applicant bear delay in adjudication.

Option B

Maintenance is to be awarded from the filing date of the application.

Option C

Commencement of evidence is not the specified starting point.

Option D

Enforcement proceedings occur later and do not determine the start of the award.
