Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the reduction of maintenance under the Indian Divorce Act, 1869. The Madras High Court had reduced the interim maintenance from Rs. 1,75,000 to Rs. 80,000 per month, which was contested by both parties. The Court held that the Family Court's assessment of the wife's needs and the husband's income was reasonable, affirming the need for adequate maintenance during divorce proceedings under Section 10(i) of the Indian Divorce Act. The appeals were dismissed, upholding the High Court's order.
