Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against interim orders of the Bombay High Court concerning a divorce and alimony under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. The Court upheld the Family Court's decision to grant permanent alimony of Rs. 6 Crores to the wife and Rs. 5 Crores for their daughter, emphasizing the necessity of a reasonable deposit for stay applications. The Court clarified that interim maintenance orders are subject to review based on the financial capabilities of the parties involved, reinforcing the principle that alimony must be fair and just under Section 27(1)(d) of the Special Marriage Act, 1954.
