Is a maintenance case under Section 125 of the CrPC decided solely on the complainant’s sworn affidavit, or is additional evidence required in Indian courts?

While a sworn affidavit by the complainant is crucial in a Section 125 CrPC maintenance case, it is not the sole basis for decision. The court can consider additional evidence like witnesses, financial documents, and other relevant materials to establish the applicant’s need for maintenance and the respondent’s ability to provide it.
