Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant a divorce by mutual consent under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, and confirmed the maintenance amount of Rs. 20,000 per month as well as a lump sum of Rs. 20 lakhs to be paid by the husband. The Court emphasized the need for reasonable maintenance under Section 25 of the Act, taking into account the financial status of both parties, particularly the husband's substantial income. The appeals for enhancement of maintenance were considered based on the husband's income and financial capabilities.
