being a lawyer she is not deprived of her constitutional and other legal rights.

she is entitled to claim maintenance and she can appear before the concerned court.

Ajitabh is right no case law is needed.

How much she is earning is no matter. SC has held maintenance must be according to status of parties. That's why the limit of Rs 500 was removed from Cr.P.C. maintenance amount depends on the status and income and liabilities of her husband.
