Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning interim maintenance and permanent alimony under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Court held that the Family Court's order granting Rs.24 lakhs as permanent alimony was justified, considering the appellant's responsibilities towards their three children. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to maintain the alimony amount, emphasizing the need for adequate support for the wife and children post-divorce.
