Since the accused has already been sent to custody for non-payment of interim maintenance, you may now file an execution petition under Section 125(3) CrPC for recovery of arrears. The court can take coercive steps including continued detention until payment is made. Additionally, you may bring the non-compliance to the notice of the concerned court at the next hearing and oppose any bail until at least partial payment is made. You can also consider filing a contempt petition for willful disobedience of court orders. These measures may pressurize the accused to either clear dues or seek an amicable settlement.

You are entitled to file the necessary application in the court seeking attachment of his property. The application should be based on applicable legal grounds to ensure its proper consideration by the court.
