In addition, the court had asked him to pay Rs 1.15 lakh per month towards medical and education expenses of his son which he had voluntarily agreed to give.<\/p>\n<p>Puri contended that the family court order was not fair as the maintenance ordered to be paid did not commensurate with his income.<\/p>\n<p>Justice M S Sonak, hearing Puri&#8217;s petition yesterday, disagreed with the actor saying the family court order was reasonable and had been passed while taking into consideration all the aspects, including monthly income of the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p>The court referred to Puri&#8217;s income tax returns for the relevant period 2009 to 2012, which stated annual income in the range of Rs 1.53 crore to Rs 3.34 crore.<\/p>\n<p>The High Court refused to interfere with the family court&#8217;s order saying the maintenance amount awarded to his wife and son was not disproportionate to the actor&#8217;s income.<br \/>\nBoth the family court and the High Court had observed that the maintenance to Puri&#8217;s wife and son was granted on the basis of financial status of the parties involved.<\/p>\n<p>The family court had held that while the wife had no sufficient source of income, Puri had a sound financial background.<\/p>\n<p>Puri had filed a divorce petition in 2012 while his estranged wife had filed an application for interim maintenance. Nandita said she is a housewife and has no source of income. She further claimed the actor earned around Rs 35 lakh to Rs 45 lakh a month.<\/p>\n<p>Puri countered the claims and alleged that the petition was filed with the motive of usurping his properties and harassing him.
