Usha Devi vs Malha Ram

The Supreme Court addressed a wife's petition challenging the High Court's order that reduced her maintenance from Rs.2500 to Rs.1500 per month. The Court found merit in the wife's arguments that the High Court's order incorrectly implied it was an interim measure and lacked reasoning for the reduction. Consequently, the Court modified the maintenance amount to Rs.2000 per month, effective from the date of the High Court's order, thereby partially allowing the appeal.
