      Please note that the proceedings under section 125 of The Criminal Procedure Code are not relating to an offence. These proceedings are for maintenance to be given to the wife children, parents who are not able to maintain themselves.

      Therefore even if the proceedings under section 125 of The Criminal Procedure Code and Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code are based on same or similar facts, conducting these two types of proceedings together will not amount to double jeopardy, since one of these two types of proceedings is not for an offence.
