The Allahabad High Court held that overstating a husband’s income in maintenance proceedings does not automatically attract perjury. Justice Raj Beer Singh dismissed the plea, noting the issue remains pending before the family court.
The Gujarat High Court partly allowed a husband’s revision plea, reducing monthly maintenance from Rs 14,000 to Rs 12,000, with Justice P. M. Raval holding that while inflation matters, maintenance must match the parties’ status and payer’s capacity, not become excessive.
