Yes, court can proceed to cease the joint account of husband and sister-in-law in case of non-compliance of the order of maintenance. Since the husband holds equal authority over the bank account, the mere fact of its being a joint account will not have much effect. However, the seizure is a process of much later stage. Higher court can be approached against an ex-parte order, in case the order under challenge was passed without giving proper opportunity to the husband for hearing.
