1. Defendant’s all such ‘liabilities and statutory deductions’ need to have been stated honestly while replying to her pendentelite Application claims. Based on such and such liabilities and gross salary statement from a defendant against reasonable wants of an applicant wife, Court announces pendentelite maintenance under Civil Family Laws. If defendant has not done such declaration and stating here under a brief then bad luck.
2. She asked 12 K as pendentelite maintenance against which she was awarded 6 K. Do you think was that reasonable for her if natural justice principal has to be appealed as made out in your query!
3. Coming to your main aggrievement, ‘litigation Cost’; under Civil Family Laws litigation cost are ‘discretionary powers’ of ld. Judges.
Summing up; she asked more as interim maintenace whereas she got less by way of interim award, she asked less as litigation cost (which is one time) whereas she got more. Balance of connivance says donot approach to Appeal it, as it is one time cost and see drastic reduction in her interim award based on materials before the ld. Court, rest your advocate should guide you on your aggrievement.
