Anupam Gupta vs Sumeet Gupta

The Supreme Court granted leave and set aside the Delhi High Court's order directing the appellant to pay maintenance of Rs.35,000 per month to the respondent, finding the High Court unjustified in its decision while dealing with an application for additional evidence. The Court restored the application for acceptance of additional evidence and requested the High Court to dispose of it on merits, allowing the respondent to file independent applications for maintenance and arrears. The appeal was allowed, and the Court urged the High Court to expedite the pending main matter, C.M.(Main) No.1718 of 2004, within three months.
