Interim maintenance order upheld as just and reasonable based on husband's income despite wife's business.

ORDER

Challenging the impugned order passed in IA No.2 of 2024 in HMOP No.201 of 2023 directing the petitioner/husband to pay a sum of Rs.30,000/- per month as interim maintenance till the disposal of HMOP No.201 of

2023, the husband has filed the above revision.

2. Learned counsel for the revision petitioner submits that the respondent/wife is having sufficient source of income and she is doing online sarees business under the name and style of “Shubam Sarees” and her turn over comes to more than Rs.1,00,00,000/- and without considering these facts, the trial Judge has awarded a sum of Rs.30,000/- per month as interim maintenance which is liable to be dismissed.

3. Learned counsel for the respondent/wife submits that the revision petitioner is having sufficient source of income and he has both movable and immovable properties and he sold the property of more than Rs.1,00,00,000/- in the year 2021 and the trial Court has rightly fixed Rs.30,000/-per month as interim maintenance which does not require any interference.

4. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and perused the materials available on record.

5. The main HMOP No.201 of 2023 was disposed of on 28.11.2025.

Pending HMOP No.201 of 2023, the trial Judge has ordered interim maintenance of Rs.30,000/-per month to be paid to the respondent/wife till the disposal of HMOP No.201/2023. Now as on date, it comes around Rs.3,00,000/-(Rupees Three Lakhs Only) as arrears.

6. However, learned counsel for the respondent raised an objection stating that the ground sought for by the revision petitioner is scandalous one that the respondent/wife is having extra marital relationship. However, the respondent/wife admits that they got separated and they have no issues out of wedlock.

7. As on date, considering the income of the revision petitioner, the trial Judge has fixed a sum of Rs.30,000/-(Rupees Thirty Thousand Only) per month which appears to be just and reasonable and does not warrant any interference and the main HMOP No.201 of 2023 was also disposed of on

28.11.2025.
