A sessions court here has set aside a magisterial court order directing a husband to pay a monthly maintenance of Rs 15,000 to his wife, holding that the woman had not disclosed her true income. Additional Sessions Judge Aanchal was hearing two appeals filed by the couple. While the husband assailed the court's order of April 2023, the wife sought raising the maintenance to Rs 1.25 lakh. The magisterial court had passed the order on the wife's petition filed under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. Noting the evidence before it, the court said the wife, who had an MBA degree, concealed the fact that she was having sufficient income to meet expenses and maintain herself.
