Sir, It simply says that the case is deferred for cross-examination and maintenance order will be passed on the dates fixed .... But maintenance would be decided only after the arguments on the application.... Warm Regards Kapil Chandna Advocate 9899011450

I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY THAT AN EMPLOYED WIFE AND ALSO CHILDLESS CAN NOT BE GIVEN MAINTENACE ALLOWANCE.IS IT NOT SO? WHAT R LITIGATION EXPENSES?

I agree with the above Mr Kapil Chandana's discripttion of the order, nothing more to add in it.

There is no such law that educated and employed Wife cannot be granted maintenance . howevr since the order posted by you is that of an ADj Im presuming that she has made an application I/s 24 HMA Seeking maintenance. The scope of section 24 is much less than section 125 . Therefore argue strongly.
