Concealment of Income may prove costly regarding Maintenance

Woman's interim alimony hiked from Rs 40,000 to Rs 1.25 lakh

January 16, 2009 18:51 IST

Accepting a woman's allegation that her husband concealed facts related to his income, the Delhi [ Images ] high court on Friday ordered a three-fold increase in her interim monthly maintenance to Rs 1,25,000 from Rs 40,000.

A division bench of Justice Mukul Mudgal and Justice Manmohan in a judgement increased the interim maintenance to Rs 1,25,000 per month from Rs 40,000, awarded by the lower court while disposing of the woman's suit for interim maintenance against husband Karun Raj Narang.

In addition, the court also asked Narang to provide a new Honda City [ Images ] car with petrol and driver at his own cost for the day-to-day maintenance of her along with three children (one of them is a major).

Directing the husband to comply with the court order within 60 days, the Bench also asked Narang to provide her a two bedroom-cum-drawing-cum-dinning house with an extra room in any of South Delhi colonies specifying that it should not be more than seven kms away from the school of their children.

"Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case coupled with the conduct of the respondent (husband) in concealing the facts from court, we are of the view that the award of Rs 40,000 per month to wife is wholly inadequate after taking into consideration the social and financial status of the husband," the Bench said allowing the wife's petition.

The court accepted her submission that before the matrimonial dispute she used to be director of M/s Eastern Medikit Ltd and was provided with all the facilities, including a chauffeur driven car.

But, soon after she approached the family court due to marital discord she was removed from her post by her husband, she alleged.

There are so many things which petitioner can do like, where he conducts operation, whether that nursing home/hospital is registered or not. If the hospital is renowned then u may take quotations/charges of that particular surgery which the doctor conducts. Also u may ask from the hospital, whether the doctor working is on the payable basis or on honorary basis. Also u take quotations/charges of that particular surgery which the doctor conducts from various nursing home/hospitals of same category, this may help u in establishing the facts, and u can allege near to actual income of that doctor. Also u may contact the patients who have undergone surgery.
