Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the total maintenance awarded to the respondents, which included Rs. 2,400/- per month, was excessive given the appellant's income of Rs. 2,600/- after deductions. The Court modified the maintenance amount to Rs. 1,500/- in addition to Rs. 900/- already being paid under the Matrimonial Court's order. The appeal was allowed to this extent, thereby reducing the financial burden on the appellant while ensuring adequate support for the respondents.
