Bhushan Kumar Meen vs Mansi Meen @ Harpreet Kaur

The Supreme Court modified the interim maintenance awarded under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, reducing the amount from Rs.10,000 to Rs.5,000 per month, considering the appellant-husband's net salary of approximately Rs.9,000 after deductions. The Court held that while the respondent-wife is currently not employed, her qualifications suggest she could maintain herself in the future, justifying the reduction. The Court also directed recalculation of arrears to be paid by the appellant-husband to the respondent-wife within three months.
