She has been granted maintenance by the lower court. Her father sent her air ticket via email requesting us to let her come to Kolkata for a week's holiday as I was to attend an official assignment in a far-off town. In the email, her father clearly wrote '' Please board my daughter in the mentioned flight (Indigo 6E 272) from Coimbatore to Kolkata. Departure at 10 A.M on 02.02.2016 and I shall receive her at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Airport, at 1.45 P.M. During the flight Journey she will come at her own will." But after 7 days she did not return and asked me to go to Kolkata and live with her parents as she was their only child. All my persuasion went in vain. After 2 months she filed a complaint under 498A, 406 and also subsequently another suit for maintenance which I contested but the lower court granted her maintenance of Rs 3000/- per month for which I have gone in for an appeal.which is in process. Under the circumstances, I would like to know how the said order can be quashed .

1. A wife deserting husband on her own will is not entitled to maintenance and the email sent by her father is a goof proof of it.
2. SO in the maintenance case you cna take this defence to avoid her maintenance.
3. For 498a Case you will have to first take bail which is not so difficult and once bail you will have to contest the case on merit.
4. You have a good case if you challenge the order of maintenance in higher court.
Rs 3000 maintenance is reasonable amount
2) you have not mentioned what is your income
3) if your wife is not working. She is entitled to maintenance
4) in false 498 A case apply for anticipatory bail from sessions court
5) wait for police investigations to be completed and charge sheet filed
6) then based on legal advice file for discharge before trial court or quashing in HC
You cannot quash the order only get it set aside before appeallate court
See you have mail as direct proof also if she has no evidence of cruelty then you can file quashing before the high court seeking wishing of the FIR on ground it is false there is no harassment she walked away on her will.
Further ss far as maintenance is considered the amount though is low and in appeal also court may keep same even in case she deserted.
- As per Supreme court judgement , wife is expected to move in with the relatives of their husbands, follow the rules and customs of their home, and ideally, blend in seamlessly as a new daughter.
- Furthe, the court granted divorce to a man on the grounds of “cruelty” after his wife refused to share a home with her in-laws.
- Further, wife is not entitled to claim maintenance , if she deserted her husband without any reasonable cause.
- Since, she has already granted maintenance under section 125 CrPc , then you should challenge the same in higher court , on the ground desertion , and after showing the proof as you mentioned .
- Further, you should file an petition before the High Court , for quashing the FIR under section 498A/406.
Do you have proof of her demand to live with them ? If yes than submit in court, maintainance order will set aside in appeal. Also apply for anticipatory bail.
A criminal revision must be filed against this order as she herself is guilty of cruelty against you. She left her matrimonial home at her own will and hence us not entitled to maintenance.

2. Be that as it may, as you have filed the appeal you should prosecute it on merits.
Please note that this is interim relief that has been granted for the maintenance if you go for the revision of this maintenance it is not going to get anything as this is very minimum however the actual maintenance will be decided by the court based on your income and the social background this order of the maintenance cannot be quest because maintenance to the wife is your responsibility and even in case of anytime preceding interim maintenance will be allowed for the maintenance as well as for the legal expenses increase you want to be with your wife and child Restoration of conjugal right under section 9 of the Marriage Act and if your wife responds then you have to contest the case otherwise ex Parte decree can be allowed to you that will be a ground for filing a divorce petition both of you are living in different places of course it will be very difficult for you to travel to Calcutta for every now and then to attend the case
For getting the orders quashed you have to prove that she left on her own will without any fault from your end.
