Hi Experts
I am going through CRPC 125 in Mohaliu distt of Punjab.
I am earning 87K per months and my wife is earning 20K per month and working as a teacher
Case was filed in Feb 2016 by my wife and in september 2016 she forwarded application for interim maintainance.
As an evidence I have provided Copy of her education certificates and bank statements for last 4 years where her salary is being credited.This was arranged by me from my sources and hence not certified.
After looking at the statements court ordered my wife to present copies of bank statements and date of account closure but she has not submitted yet.At the same time court asked me to provide ITR copy of mine.
My advocate said not to appear in court for few dates to avoid false statement under oath.
At this point of time I am little confused and have following questions:
1. Can court consider evidence of bank statement provided by me for earnings of my wife?
2. If I dont appear then what can be the consequences as my advocate said exparty will not happen and judge will grant minimal amount as interim maintainance
3. By considering bank statement as evidence what maintainace on an average can be granted to her. She is living in a village and I am in Tier 1 city of india. However I have not disclosed my work and location to court yet.
4. If my wife leaves job now then what will be impact on me as I have already given evidence after interim maintainance application
I think my advocate is influenced by opposite party thats y asking these questions to u
Regards
Rahul
