Wife has filed false 498A/DV case against husband and family members. She has then filed multiple cases in different courts in Delhi under different sections (DV, maintainence etc) claiming compensation and maintainence for self and 2 year old girl child. Wife is class I gazetted officer earning a good salary, having govt alloted 3 BHK flat in a posh locality, free medical facilities from Govt, etc. Husband is working in pvt sector and has to pay for his accomodation, medical and also provide for medical care for his old and ailing parents. He is voluntarily making monthly maintainence payment for his child and has also voluntarily made FDs, insurance policy for child's welfare.
1) Is it possible to bring all cases under one court?
2)Will maintainence/compensation be decided individually and on standalone basis for each case or will the judge also consider the payments awarded in other cases? Ultimately, husband has one source of limited funds (his salary) and he will not be able to pay if he is ordered to make payments in each case separately without giving him any benefit/consideration for payments he is making either voluntarily or under other cases.
3) If wife is working and earning well and has all facilities provided by Govt, is she still entitled to receive maintainence from husband? Is she also obliged to contribute to Child's maintainence?
Please share any other points or arguments that husband can present to ensure fair decision for him.
