Hindu Contempt petition for non payment of maintenance
22-Feb-2023 (In Family Law)
Wife MBA&CA Lecturer filed DV case 2009. Quit job 2011 asked interim maintenance and rent. Granted by trial, sessions and HC. Husband paid sincerely. 2012 wife employed with free accommodation. So stopped paying, filed application requesting court discontinue same as changed circumstances. Wife filed application strikeoff defence of husband for non payment in trial and contempt petition in HC. Strikeoff defence order by session court. Husband filed WP in HC against same. 2014 HC partly allowed with instructions to conclude DV case within 3mths, to pass orders for recovery in conjunction with final order until then no orders regarding same to be made. DV case still on. In Contempt petition HC asked husband to comply with order by clearing pending dues of maintenance and rent till date or proceedings initiated. Wife not come with clean hands. False claims jobless. Husband discontinued maintenance with hope of justice. Question is what approach best to avoid contempt and payment?
for grant of stay.
but earlier proceeding is still continue and you are not paid maintenance regularly, it means that due against you. first you clear entire dues. then therafter proceed. there is provision for non payment/compliance of order for striking off defence. why you are file separate application for restitution of conjugal rights or divorce.
wife have every right to claim of maintenance. whether she is employee or not.
she is employee then you are filed the documents on record to show her employment and monthly salary slip.
where she is working then you can apply under RTI for the reason best known to you.
