One of my friends who are a software engineer accused in false 498A and Crpc. 125 maintenance case. Due to these false cases he lost his job more over he is a heart patient and with all these ill acts of his wife his health is deteriorating Day by Day. But in order to take care of his health n his old aged parents he wants money and for that reason only he joined a job an earning around 30K per month.
As he is liable to his parents, he is giving around 10K p.m. to his ill parents for medicinal expenses (5K + 5k each) as both are diabetic, heart and bp patients + his monthly expenses (rent + food + his medicinal expense) 10k + he has some Debts and he should go for surgery in near future for his ailment too, for that he is paying around 5k in chits n other savings like LIC, EPF etc., 5k.
One more thing his wife is well educated an previously she was earning just to harass him she resigned from her job and framed all these cases on him. And she is a Deserted him and living in her mother’s place from past 6years without any reason. He has a Daughter of age 6years.
He is able to furnish his wife’s employment and previous salary Details in front of the court as she hasn’t revealed any of her education and earning capacity in her plea before he submits valid documents.
Now the question arises here is
1. How the maintenance will be awarded if he wants to furnish his salary Details in the court. Actually his wife is failed to submit any of his salary Details but she just claiming that he is earning around 2lakhs p.m. and she wants 1lakh p.m. out of his salary. which is not true.
2. So is it advisable to submit his income Details on his own?
