Ex wife asking for alimony which I paid already as per court order


24-Aug-2023 (In Civil Law)
I put a divorce case against my ex wife and case was close by magistrate on dec2016. Court ordered me to give lumsum amount of 80000 as a alimony and I paid that money through cheque to court and I got a receipt of that payment through court. Now today I got a letter from different court that my ex wife register a case about a alimony. Which I have paid 8 months back. Now the question is whether she is eligible for asking more alimony? Is she file a false case, not shown a judgment to that court? In this matter what course of action should I take?

No she cannot ask for further alimony. But we have to check she is asking for the enhancement of maintenance . She can ask for enhancement of maintenance. Again u had to tell us that maintenance petition was filed under 125 CrPC, Or Under Domestic Violence Act, or under Hindu Marriage Act
