Rs 22,000 maintenance for Army man’s wife, children ‘not high’: Chhattisgarh High Court
The Chhattisgarh High Court has maintained the monthly maintenance of Rs 22,000 for an Army employee's wife and two children, stating that the amount is not excessive given his salary, agricultural income, and family expenses. Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha presided over the hearing of the husband's appeal against the family court's October 2024 decision.
The husband had contested the order, arguing that he could not be held responsible for maintaining the two children, whom he claimed were not his. He also mentioned taking care of his aged parents, who needed continuous medical care. The court, in its August 6 order, found the maintenance amount to be reasonable considering the salary of Rs 76,701, agricultural income, medical and educational expenses, and the family's social status.
