3) son entitled for the claim of of maintenance rs @35000/pm during the pendency of case till he got major,from the date of complaint.
4) compensation for DV @ 1000 
Judge said with these observations petition is allowed.
I have written exactly what is written in order copy.
My Lawyer said in DV only son got maintenance during pendency of case but no maintenance awarded to wife and daughter.
How much i have to pay i am alredy paying 35000/pm
CRPC 125 Judgemnt 
judge clearly mentioned my income from filed ITR since last 5 years ranged from 17 lac to 10 lac. Presently my annual salry without tax is approx. 10 lac.
Judge took my salary as average 1,30000 and awarded maintenance @ 40,000/pm for each petitioner (wife son n daughter), from the date of complaint.

how judge can make me to give rs 120000 from my salary which is approx. 80000.
This is the justice i got after 5 years of fight. who is victim through out my marriage life only i know. 
I have lost my faith in indian justice system. they are compelling me to quit my life.

If your salary is only 80k per month then total maintenance should not be more than Rs 25k per month 

 

2) file appeal against maintenance other 

 

3) enclose your income tax returns, bank statements  which prove your income 

 

4) you should get relief in appeal against unjust maintenance order

File appeal agasint the order. Stay will grant by court. Total maintenance ordered is 70k + 15k. Amount payable to son is much higher and on becoming adult, no more payable.

But have to pay for five years = 12 x 5 x 35 k = .

 5 x 12 x 15K = .

File appeal against order.

Dear client 

According to my conclusion on your case may there is misinterpration of order which is told to you. there can be total of 40000 maintenance for all the petitioner or to mother and daughter as your son has attain majority he will not be entitled for maintenance any more. 

And If you have certified copy of the judgement and if this is the judgement that you have to give 40000 pm to each petitioner than you should go for appeal in high court against the judgement of trail court. 

If you would like to go to high court i can recommend you a good advocate who can help you get the justice.

You should prefer an appeal against this order as the maintenance amount order to your wife and children is quite high. The amount ordered as maintenance is  exorbitant and cannot be justified at all 

Supreme Court held that the maintenance amount should be around 25% of the income of the husband. 

You will definitely get relief from higher Court if you appeal against the said order as it is clearly not as per the guidelines issued by the Honorable Supreme Court of India.

1. Well, from your maintenance it appears both your children and wife would get jointly Rs.50000/-  along with house rent.

2. The maintenance would be calculated from the date of filing the petition. 

3. if from the prima facie evidence if your income does not support the maintenance then you have a  good case of appeal.

4. Since we all have to survive under the present system there is no point in loosing the system and rather use other ladder of the same system to get redress.

5. Prefer an appeal in sessions court. You have a good case.

No , only one order will prevail. Maintenance order under the Domestic Violence Act will continues. Not under sec 125 CrPC.

Only one order - not 3

It is not a permanent maintenance under section 24 HMA it's the legal expenses of proceedings and one time maintenance during pendency of legal proceedings which you have to pay for single time it is not monthly expenses.

You should have made application to court to direct wife to produce her bank statements, income tax returns for last 3 years 

 

2) if maintenance awarded is more than your income your remedy is to file appeal against impugned order

If you are aggrieved by the judgment you can always prefer an appeal agaisnt the judgment passed by the trial court.

Actually the interim maintenance has been paid by you from the beginning hence you may have to pay maintenance from the current date only.

You can prefer appeal against both the judgments before the appellate court and mention in both the appeals that the amount granted in both the cases are very much in excess especially when your salary income is fr lesser thatn the amount granted by both the courts.

Appeal can be preferred in the sessions court only, but the revision has to be filed before the high court only.

You have approached high court with a revision petition against the orders in Section 24 HMNA of the lower court.

The trial court passed orders in two different cases though simultaneously.

There is no legal infirmity in the judgments passed in two differnt cases, however you may combine both in the appeal and make a mention about your grievances in this regard.

It is a fit case for appeal.

The stay of the operation of the trial court order in this regard  by the sessions court will depend on how your advocate argues strongly and convince the court.

The court's decision canot be predicted especially without knowing what are all material evidences are there in your support.

If you have decided to fight your case as party in person then you should have done it is in the trial court itself because you may have to challenge not only her case but also the defects of your advocate due to which you had lost your case.

The choice is yours, alternately you can take guidance from any good lawyer from outside to conduct the case as party in person .
