It was stated that applicant was Senior Police Officer in the State government and. was earning Rs. 17,000/- p. m. and the present applicant original applicant - husband was also earning Rs. 12,000/- to Rs. 13,000/- p. m. from the other income like shares, debentures. It was contended that the parents-in-law are being looked after by wife - present opponent. It was contended that the son is studying in gujarat Law Society School in 3rd standard. In reply, the present application denied that he was earning Rs. 17,000/- p. m. and he produced a certificate from Senior Police inspector, Kagdapith Police Station, and according to the certificate his salary was Rs. 9,150/- gross. It was denied by the husband that he had some other income. The wife in her rejoinder reiterated that the say of the husband was not correct and that the husband, present applicant was staying somewhere else i. e. at C-405, Suvidha Apartment, which was purchased by him.
