The wife along with their three children had filed an application at the trial court seeking maintenance under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001543751\" target=\"_blank\">24<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001543753\" target=\"_blank\">26<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726956\" target=\"_blank\">HMA<\/a>. The trial court rejected the application under Section 24 but allowed maintenance of Rs 60,000 per month for the children under Section 26, which the husband was paying. Aggrieved, the wife preferred the present appeal. The wife had contended that she is not working as she was removed from the hospital after filing of the case by the respondent-husband<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Also Read:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/04\/04\/while-determining-maintenance-trial-court-should-consider-earning-capacity-of-both-parents-all-hc\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trial Court should consider earning capacity of both parents while determining maintenance: Allahabad High Court<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Analysis and decision<\/h3>\n<p>The Court noted that the appellant is a trained Gynecologist being a Post Graduate possessing a degree in M.D. (Gynecology) and is capable of earning handsomely in her line of expertise, and therefore rejected the contention of the appellant that she is presently not working. The Court observed that,<\/p>\n<p class=\"animate-charcter\" style=\"margin-left: 36pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;Where a qualified person is capable of earning

24.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the trial court had relied on the wife&#8217;s income tax returns, which reflected earnings of more than Rs 31 lakhs per annum and rejected the application under Section 24 HMA, and that under these circumstances the impugned order cannot be faulted and thus, dismissed the appeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:
