It had been established in the aforesaid judgment that the divorce was being granted on grounds of desertion and not adultery since the respondent had failed to adduce sufficient evidence to prove his allegations. However, since Gautam Pawar, the one with whom the petitioner had been alleged to be living in adultery did not present himself for cross-examination, the trial court held that since this evidence had remained unchallenged, it should be relied upon and that the petitioner did have illicit relations with Gautam Pawar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court held that the trial court \u201chas not at all appreciated the evidence on record properly and drawn the conclusions which were not borne out from the material.\u201d Along with this, the petitioner\u2019s claim for enhancement of maintenance was also accepted and the amount increased for her and her son till the time he attained majority.
