Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the maintenance amount awarded by the trial court and affirmed by the High Court, reducing it from Rs. 6,350/- p.m. to Rs. 5,500/- p.m. The Court directed that the arrears of maintenance be recalculated accordingly. The appeal was disposed of without any order as to costs, emphasizing the need for a fair assessment of maintenance obligations under relevant family law principles.
