At the time of enter in execution proceedings, You should filed objections regarding the limitation period of recovery of maintenance amount through execution. But I want to tell you that there are many judgments of Delhi High court as well as others that the wife is entitled to recover her maintenance amount beyond limitations but it's depend on the circumstances and fact of your case. you should file objection for file execution petition after limitation.

Dear Sir, It is true that the general rule of limitation states that Execution Petition to be filed within an year from the date when it became due. However, in case of delay in filing the Execution, the wife ought to have filed the Condonation of delay Application along with the Execution Petition. Your Lawyer must have objected to the Petition and the Court considering the delay and the Petition l, Ordered you to pay the Maintenance alongwith the arrears thereof.
