The appellant wife being \u00a0well qualified and in profession for the past 13 years need not be granted interim maintenance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The appellant is a CA while her husband is an Electrical Engineer running his own business. The husband had filed a\u00a0petition for dissolution of marriage\u00a0under Section 13(1)(i-a) of the Hindu Marriage Act. The wife under Section 24, sought interim maintenance for a sum of Rs 3 lakh per month for herself and the two children besides Rs 1.13 lakh towards litigation expenses. \u00a0While denying maintenance to the wife, the\u00a0Family Court refused to believe her claim that she was getting only Rs 7,000\u00a0per month despite the fact that she had been practicing as a Chartered \u00a0Accountant since the year 2003.\u00a0Her claim that\u00a0she has no sufficient means to support herself and children was dealt\u00a0with by the \u00a0Family Court noting that the parties had been\u00a0indulging in jugglery of accounts making the things complex.\u00a0The Family Court, however, awarded a sum of Rs 22,900 per month towards the maintenance of her two children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Concurring with the finding of the Family Court, the Court observed that the High Court of Madras in <em>Manokaran <\/em>v. <em>M. Devaki<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/LoginForNewsLink\/2003_SCC_OnLine_Mad_135\">2003 SCC Online Mad 135<\/a>, \u00a0while construing the provision of Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act and\u00a0relying on its earlier decision in \u00a0<em>Kumaresan<\/em> v.\u00a0<em>Aswathi,<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/LoginForNewsLink\/2002_SCC_OnLine_Mad_377\">\u00a02002 SCC Online Mad 377 <\/a>held that for grant of maintenance pendent lite, the party should\u00a0not have sufficient independent income for her\/his support. The Court also noted that in the\u00a0\u00a0context of award of interim maintenance under Section 24\u00a0to a well-qualified spouse having the earning capacity\u00a0but desirous of remaining idle has been deprecated in the decision in <em>Mamta Jaiswal<\/em> v. <em>Rajesh Jaiswal<\/em>, 2000 (3) MPLJ 100.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dismissing the appeal, the Bench of Pratibha Rani and Pradeep Nandrajog, JJ observed that the appellant wife who is a qualified Chartered Accountant and in\u00a0profession since the year 2003 need not be granted interim maintenance under Section 24 of the Act.
