Hence, Trial Court\u2019s approach cannot be faulted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the present appeal, the appellant\/husband did not dispute his monthly income. Therefore, there was no infirmity with the order of Trial Court whereby monthly income of appellant\/husband was assessed as Rs 35,000\/-.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, the interim maintenance to the respondent\/wife has to be commensurate with the income of husband.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Principle of apportionment has been reiterated by Delhi High Court in <em>Nitin Sharma v.
