Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined a case where the appellant-wife challenged the enhancement of maintenance awarded by the Family Court from ₹8,000 to ₹15,000 per month. The High Court partly allowed the appeal, increasing the maintenance from the original amount. The Court considered the facts of the marriage, the conduct of the parties, and the financial circumstances to determine the appropriate maintenance amount. The judgment underscores the importance of considering both parties' circumstances in maintenance disputes.
