Hello sir,
First of all you have challenge P.O proceedings that can be challengable and also likely to be quashed.
Secondly you have to challenge maintence also whether u have any involvement or not that will bind on you if court orders against you.
You can also challenge as ther are 100 of judgements in which the maintenance amount awarded was takrn back and comes to a very meager amount but that all will depend upon the circumstances.

Thanks

Yes, it can be challenged. You can file an application for setting aside the ex parte order for maintenance.
The Honorable High Court can quash the FIR in case the facts and the law are in your favor.
At this stage in my opinion it is not going to be increased. It depends upon the proof given by your wife. If there is no proof, it won't increase.

You are in big trouble my friend. Don't wait for someone to post answer to your query. First and foremost hire a good lawyer. Even on this website, there are many good lawyers related to family disputes. Quashing can only be done with mutual consent deed if that what your wife wants you to do. If you are declared a PO, then you are going to land up in the jail. Resume that proceedings first and surrender before the court. Courts can definitely enhance the maintenance if desired so. Courts rarely go into your address proofs to see whether the summons are delivered or not. It is your onus in matrimonial obligation to be traceable. Please have a professional lawyer on your side, before things get uglier.

REPLY TO YOUR QUERIES:-
IF YOU R STILL IN OVERSEAS THEN NO CHANCE OF QUASHING IS POSSIBLE. QUASHING WILL BE DONE WHEN THERE IS COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE PARTIES OR THE COMPLAINANT CHANGES OR TAKE BACK HER ALLEGATIONS AGAINST YOU.
SESSION COURT CAN INCREASE MAINTENANCE IF JUDGE OF SESSION COURT WANT, NO SALARY PROOF NEED.
YES YOU CAN CHALLENGE IN HIGH COURT
THANKS
