The Court thus agreed that petitioner&#8217;s contention that his daughter&#8217;s earning is Rs.72 lakhs to Rs.80 lakhs merely on his daughter&#8217;s photographs posted in Instagram and her Instagram history cannot sustain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The writ petition was rejected holding that there was no illegality or perversity, in the impugned order which was given considering the earnings of the petitioner-husband and his responsibility to maintain his daughter, who was found to be without any source of income.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Anil Chandravadan Mistry v.
