Avoiding cost of litigation filed by wife

I have filed for divorce in 2014, after that my wife has filed for maintenance and 1 time cost of litigation. on the judgement the court has ordered me Rs 3500 as monthly maintenance and Rs 35000 as 1 time cost of litigation. I have been paying the Rs 3500 as monthly maintenance and sometimes Rs 3500 sometimes Rs 2500 as part of cost of litigation. Now i need advice how could i get rid of this one time litigation cost. please suggest me with any law any judgements any ground. Because paying such amount from my monthly salary of 10500 is too much harsh for me to survive.

Seeking advice on rent case

Respected lawyers, Please Help.

I am seeking advice on the rent case which i am fighting with the landlord. I am the tenant, and took a floor(1bhk) on rent 3years back. landlord is living on ground floor.
There was dispute in between me and my wife in 2013. then my wife filled complaint in women cell to get her all istridhan & to live separately in a rented house with me(living away from my parents). Based on mutual understanding(with effort from women cell), it was decided to handover the ishtridhan to her and we both live in rented house. my parents handed over all ishtridhan and took the receiving & Signature on the Ishtridhan list from her & her family. That ishtridhan items then shifted to the rented house. Then from first day, my wife took the keys with her and living with her parents since then.
(The rented house has INTERNAL door locks which are fitted by landlord itself). landlord handed over the keys to my wife in my absence.
Rent agreement was made between me(my name) and landlord. I paid the rent on time till the agreement duration of 11 months, Even though nobody(me & wife) lived there & premises was closed as keys was taken by wife. Then i stopped payment of rent as rent agreement was over.

5 months after rent agreement expiration(Expired on July 2014), landlord filled this case for rent payment and Evacuation in Dec 2014. Only I was made the party as tenant and not my wife.

On following points, seeking advice from our esteemed experts & lawyers. Please help.

1) This case is in lower court of district(to rent controller). the court has done rent accessment & ordered to pay the rent calculated based on 25% hike on the Rent amount specified in rent agreement. 12K in rent agreement & rent accessed at rate 15K. Can I appeal/challenge this order in higher court of district(or which court)??? As the rent accessed on 25% hike but normally 10% is increased for next year. I am not able to pay that much amount. But okay with rent accessed at 10% hike. Please guide. the case is not closed & further to decide on evacuation.
2) As keys(INTERNAL door locks of landllord) are with my wife and premises is closed, and Ishtridhan items are placed there, Am I legally abide to pay rent??
3) What is the way to vacate the premises as I am not in condition to pay rent? Considering that ishtridhan is placed in the premises. If I vacate, what implication i may face from wife?? She dont want to continue this relation and has intention to make money. and I also want to end this chapter.

Please advice.
