Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision to set aside the Family Court's decree, finding that the appellant-husband failed to prove allegations of cruelty against the respondent-wife. The Court affirmed the High Court's findings as being well-supported by evidence and dismissed the appeal, ordering the appellant to pay maintenance of Rs. 3,500 per month to the respondent and their daughter, effective from March 1, 2010. The Court also mandated the payment of arrears within six weeks and allowed the respondent to execute the order in case of non-compliance.
