In this case, the wife had previously secured custody of the minor daughter by explicitly declaring to the court that she was financially capable of raising and caring for the child independently.

In a maintenance application filed by the wife, the trial court rejected her claim but granted interim maintenance of ₹3000 per month to her minor daughter.

Aggrieved, she filed the present revision petition challenging the impugned order.

She contended that the maintenance granted by the trial court was meagre and grossly insufficient considering the child’s expenses and that she had no means of income.




She further contended that though in 2022 she was working in B.S.N. Infrastructure on a contract basis, she worked there only for three months. Thereafter, she resigned.

The court observed that there was no documentary evidence on record to show that she resigned from her job.

Thus, the Court dismissed the petition, holding that the trial court, after considering all the relevant materials, passed a reasoned order and there is no good ground to interfere with the impugned order.
