ORDER1. Though notices were served on the respondents, they remained absent. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner.2. The short but important question involved in this petition is as to whether the major unmarried daughters are entitled for maintenance from the father under Section 125 of the Cr. P.C.3.
