Do not file an Order 7 Rule 11 application—it is not maintainable in a maintenance case and will be dismissed. The correct approach is to file a detailed reply along with your income affidavit, specifically challenge her inflated income and expense claims, and simultaneously move an application seeking direction for production of supporting documents (ITRs, bank statements, salary proof, expense bill)

In this particular case an application under order 7 rule 11 won't be applicable you will have to appear and file your reply you will have to state that false information as one put by your wife Additionally what you should do is that you file an application stating that perjury has been committed by the party and hence she may be prosecuted

yes you must file an application of order 711 that the petition is not maintainable as it has been filed without any expense details or bills. such an application would dismiss the maintenance case filed by the wife on the first date itself
