Summary
The case involves Shahid Ahmad Choudhary, who sought to quash orders from the Family Court regarding maintenance payments to his ex-wife, Irfana Bee, following a divorce and a full settlement agreement. The petitioner argued that he was not properly served notice for subsequent maintenance applications, as it was delivered to his power of attorney instead of him directly. The High Court found that the service was indeed improper and set aside the Family Court's orders, remanding the matter for fresh consideration. The court emphasized that the legal rights of the minor child involved could not be waived by the parents' agreement.
