Courts Order Maintenance Payments Amid Income Disputes in Matrimonial Cases

The Allahabad High Court ordered a husband earning Rs 24,000 monthly to pay Rs 6,000 as maintenance to his wife and child, allowing arrears to be paid in 10 installments. Separately, the Supreme Court directed another man to pay Rs 10,000 monthly to his wife despite his claim of earning Rs 325 daily, considering the need for basic financial support. The Supreme Court indicated it may seek employer clarification on the husband's income and encouraged amicable resolution between the couple.
