See there is no provision under the criminal procedure code which provides for amendment of the 125 Petition, however one recent judgment has been passed which allows the petitioner to amend the maintenance petition in absence of specific provision

in crpc there no provision on amendment of prayer and also stage of your case. it would be better you withdraw your case or once maintenance is decided than file increasement of maintenance. in crpc there no provision on amendment of prayer and also stage of your case. it would be better you withdraw your case or once maintenance is decided than file increasement of maintenance.

Greetings,

Amend in maintenance is surely possible however it depends on case to case and how to get the relief from the court also. Even case laws are not a straight jacket and are applied as per facts of the case
