The husband contended he cannot pay the interim maintenance as he is unemployed due to losing his job and has no independent source of income.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Perusing the matter, the Court noted the impugned order passed by the Family Court where it had taken cognizance that the husband&#8217;s family owns a commercial complex.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The High Court stated that in case of desertion, the husband is bound to pay the maintenance and the husband cannot shy away from this responsibility under the garb of unemployment. The Court further noted that afore-stated interim maintenance amount is not exorbitant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that in current times of rising inflation and increase in cost of living, the wife must sustain herself and the minor daughter&#8217;s life and contest the ongoing litigation. Furthermore, the Court considered the living standards in Belagavi and found that the Family Court had rightly exercised its discretion to grant the afore-stated interim maintenance.
