Can majistrate order rent to wife earning 38,000 govt. servi

yes can but it depent upon situation and position and other factor whether any one can get maintenance or not 

Ideally it should not be ordered as decided by HC Delhi in the case of Ranjana Gupta vs  Rajnesh Gupta CRL REV.  P.637/2013 but God knows what will be decision in your case.

Generally not, but if your earning is to much more in comparison of your wife and the living standard was very high before dispute only then court can grant her maintenance otherwise not, if you have child and the same is living with her then you have to pay maintenance for your child.

If you are not satisfied by court order file revision petition

1) Rejecting the contention that only a woman who is on the verge of starvation and destitution is entitled for interim maintenance, the court said the amount of maintenance should be such that the wife is able to live in reasonable comfort considering the status and lifestyle she had while living with her husband.

 

2) In a recent judgment, Metropolitan Magistrate Monika Saroha said: “It is not only to prevent destitution and vagrancy of the complainant (woman) that interim maintenance is awarded, but also to be awarded where the wife has become used to a certain standard of living by virtue of her marriage with a man of means so she should not be suddenly deprived of the said luxuries to which she has become used to.”

 

3) “Interim maintenance is also awarded to ensure that during the pendency of the proceedings, the wife is able to maintain the same standard of living which she was used to, in her matrimonial house because of the earning of the husband,” the court said.

 

4) Notwithstanding the quantum of earnings of wife as contended by u, various factors are considered before awarding montly rent.

U need to fight for it in lower courts...

They dont use much mind , so u have to feed them real good.

Tell the Judge HRA( House Rent Allowance ) is a component which govenrment provides her in her income, she cannot ask the same component from you through court. And if that is the case, she should inform the governemnt that husband is paying rent so she dont need HRA.

Many govt. employees get govt. quaters , so ask ur wife to apply for it if not so, or manage herself by HRA.

Dear ABHI_Post_498a (original question poster)

IMHO, A well earning wife, a wife who has deserted you without cause, a cruel wife (especially since you have addded 498a to your profile name) and / or IF she is government employed and getting housing support, should not be granted maintenance.

There are MANY cases to come to your rescue. If these cases do NOT fit your situation please check for more
