Shocking Twist: SDM Jyoti Maurya’s Husband Demands Monthly Maintenance—Court Issues Notice in Viral Divorce Drama!

The high-profile marital saga of SDM Jyoti Maurya and her husband Alok Kumar Maurya is back in the headlines with a shocking new twist! Alok, whose turbulent relationship with Jyoti has dominated social media and news cycles for over a year, has now filed a fresh case—this time demanding monthly maintenance from his estranged wife.

Court Drama Unfolds

The latest development comes after Alok Kumar Maurya approached the Allahabad High Court, challenging a Family Court order that had earlier rejected his plea for maintenance. Alok, a government sanitation worker, claims he is battling multiple health issues and earns a modest income, while Jyoti Maurya, now a high-ranking administrative officer (SDM), enjoys a substantial salary.

After reviewing Alok’s petition, the division bench of Justice Anindya Sinha and Justice Yogendra Kumar Srivastava has issued a notice to Jyoti Maurya, asking her to respond to the maintenance demand. The next hearing is scheduled for August 8th, and all eyes are on the court’s decision.

A Marriage in the Public Eye

Alok and Jyoti’s story began in 2010, but their marriage soon turned tumultuous. Alok alleges that he supported Jyoti’s education and ambitions, only to be abandoned after she cleared the PCS exam and became an SDM. He claims Jyoti’s attitude changed drastically with her new status and that she even mistreated his family.

The dispute escalated in 2023, capturing the nation’s attention as personal accusations and counter-accusations went viral on social media. Alok accused Jyoti of infidelity, while Jyoti countered with allegations of harassment by Alok and his family. The case eventually landed in Family Court, where Jyoti filed for divorce and Alok demanded maintenance under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act.

Legal Hurdles and Delays

The Family Court had dismissed Alok’s maintenance plea on January 4, 2025, but he has now appealed to the High Court—though not without complications. Alok filed his appeal 77 days after the Family Court’s order, prompting the court to seek an explanation for the delay. He has since submitted a separate application requesting the court to condone the delay, and proceedings will begin once the court is satisfied.

What’s Next?

With the next hearing just weeks away, the entire nation is watching to see whether the court will grant Alok’s request for financial support from his officer wife. The case has sparked heated debates on social media about gender roles, financial responsibility, and justice in modern marriages.
