This query is : Resolved
This query is in continuation of my previous query https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/experts/divorce-case-ia-maintainence-related-query-745886.asp.
My gross salary is 1.5L and net salary is 1.15L and expenses is 1.05L for me and my mother and saving of some 10k per month. My wife stays in my flat and I stay in a rented house along with my mother. Even before the family courts order I used to voluntarily pay 6k maintaince to my wife through money order apart from paying apartment maintenance and other utility bills of my flat where my wife stays. Still paying the same.
The family court judge had earlier awarded her 25k maintenance plus 30k one time litigation fees to be paid by me. Family court judge had not considered the money order receipts I had submitted in court as proof of my voluntary payment. Judge had not consider that she is staying in my flat.
We had approached the high court for its review. But in today's first date( wifes lawyers was not present ) the high court judge also straight forward said that he is not going to touch the family courts order and he is not going to reduce the ia maintenance even though wife is staying in my flat. high court judge also did not consider the money order receipts I submitted in court as proof of my voluntary payment. high court judge also did not consider that she is staying in my flat so he should reduce the amount.
Very saddened by the women biased approached of judges.
What can I do here?

Ether it could be a case of RA or SLP in supreme Court. Meet a Lawyer with entire papers.
