What i eared from 1991 to 2008 i spend for my family alone.
I am working in a limited company and getting salary rs 58000 per month take home since 2011.
now only i start to save for me, i dont have any assets in my name. and i am also a heart patient, but i dont wants to record the same at court.

When your wife and one daughter has got independent income, they are not liable for any maintenance from you. Another daughter who is 18 can claim maintenance from you.

You can not force your wife to make settlement.
Unless her income is proved you can not avoid her maintenance.

You are asking this question at argument stage, what did your lawyer do to prove her employment or what efforts you took to show before court the source of her income and other income details?
You cannot force her to go for one time settlement, you may have to wait for the court's verdict.
