Kota Pratap Babu vs Vankayalapati Ramalakshmi & Anr

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's interim order directing the appellant to pay Rs. 5,000/- per month as maintenance to the respondent, finding that the appellant's financial circumstances, including his salary of Rs. 9,910/- and other properties, were not adequately considered. The Court directed the High Court to reconsider the maintenance amount in light of new evidence and established an interim maintenance of Rs. 2,500/- per month starting May 2009. The appeal was disposed of accordingly.
