Maintenance under section 125 of Cr.P.C is awarded only in cases where the woman is not in a position to maintain herself. Under the provision of section 24 HMA you claim maintenance even on the basis of difference in lifestyle.
You can go in appeal against the present decision before the High Court by way of criminal revision under section 19(4) of Family Courts Act

You can prefer an appeal on the order of the lower court, but you need to keep in mind that you should convince the Court that even though you are an educated qualified lady, you do not have any other source of living.
