The husband filed an appeal challenging maintenance.<br id=\"ms__id911\" \/><br id=\"ms__id912\" \/>The Mumbai family court had ordered Col Philip to pay Rs 50,000 per month to his estranged wife after going through his salary slips. However, the high court brought it down to Rs 20,000, observing that the maintenance was exorbitant.<br id=\"ms__id913\" \/><br id=\"ms__id914\" \/>&#8220;Taking an overall view of the facts and circumstances, we are of the opinion that the amount of maintenance granted by the Family Court in the sum of Rs 50,000 per month is exorbitant and needs to be reduced to Rs 20,000 per month,&#8221; said the bench in its order on October 21.<br id=\"ms__id915\" \/><br id=\"ms__id916\" \/>The court noted that the appellant&#8217;s 22-year-old daughter was undergoing a veterinary science course in Nagpur for which he was spending money on her hostel accommodation and studies. And this, he did, despite his daughter having an independent source of income from a family business of her maternal uncle. Hence, the daughter was not dependent on Ritu.<br id=\"ms__id917\" \/><br id=\"ms__id918\" \/>The court noted that Ritu was a dentist and also earned some amount out of a trust she ran in the name of &#8216;Highways Infinite Public Trust&#8217;.<br id=\"ms__id919\" \/><br id=\"ms__id920\" \/>Besides, she had a flat and car in her name. The flat was purchased for Rs 15 lakh and half of this amount was contributed by her husband. She also had bought a land in 2008 and sold it for Rs 2.52 lakh, the judges observed while disposing of Col Philip&#8217;s appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bombay High Court has modified a family court order by bringing down the monthly maintenance allowance from Rs 50,000 to Rs 20,000 payable by an army colonel to his divorced wife, who is a dentist by profession.A bench of justices A R Joshi and Vijaya Tahilramani recently ordered Col Joseph Philip to pay Rs [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35010,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8911],"tags":[20562,12593,30216,2710,30215,30214],"class_list":["post-35648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-family-law-news","tag-20562","tag-divorce-case","tag-divorce-case-of-col-joseph-philip","tag-justice-a-r-joshi","tag-justice-vijaya-tahilramani","tag-monthly-maintenance-by-rs-30"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>HC lowers monthly maintenance by Rs 30,000 in divorce case - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"HC lowers monthly maintenance by Rs 30,000 in divorce case\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/hc-lowers-monthly-maintenance-rs-30000-divorce-case\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HC lowers monthly maintenance by Rs 30,000 in divorce case - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"HC lowers monthly maintenance by Rs 30,000 in divorce case\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/hc-lowers-monthly-maintenance-rs-30000-divorce-case\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LegalindiaCom\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-10-22T10:14:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/divorce.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"480\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"270\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Legal India Admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Legal India Admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/hc-lowers-monthly-maintenance-rs-30000-divorce-case#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/hc-lowers-monthly-maintenance-rs-30000-divorce-case\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Legal India Admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/0bfdffe9059fb8bb24a86d094609c5ea\"},\"headline\":\"HC lowers monthly maintenance by Rs 30,000 in divorce case\",\"datePublished\":\"2014-10-22T10:14:03+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/hc-lowers-monthly-maintenance-rs-30000-divorce-case\"},\"wordCount\":377,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/hc-lowers-monthly-maintenance-rs-30000-divorce-case#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.legalindia.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/2\\\/2014\\\/08\\\/divorce.jpg?fit=480%2C270&ssl=1\",\"keywords\":[\"000\",\"divorce case\",\"divorce case of Col Joseph Philip\",\"Justice A.R.
