maintenance for the appellant ₹20,000/- per month, which was reduced

to ₹7,500/- per month by the High Court.

4. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the

marriage between the mother of the appellant and the respondent was

solemnized in the year 2008. Out of the wedlock a boy and a girl were

born. The custody of the boy is with the respondent whereas the

appellant is living with the mother. A divorce petition was filed by the

respondent-husband in January 2018 before the Family Court. In May

2018 the appellant and her mother-Shikha Sharma filed an application

under Section 125 Cr.P.C. before the Family Court. The divorce

petition filed by the respondent-husband was allowed by the Family

Court on 10.09.2022. Vide order dated 30.11.2022, the Family Court

partly allowed the application filed by the appellant and her mother

under Section 125 Cr.P.C. and awarded maintenance of ₹20,000/- per

month for the appellant-minor daughter. The wife was denied any

maintenance. The order qua that became final.

5. The High Court vide impugned cryptic order has reduced

the amount of maintenance from ₹20,000/- to ₹7,500/-. Despite service

the respondent has not chosen to appear before this Court. He is

shirking to take care of the appellant (minor daughter) who is 6-7 years

of age at present. Prayer is that the impugned order passed by the

2
High Court be set aside and that the order of the Family Court be

restored.

6. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant and

perused the paper book.

7. From a perusal of the order passed by the Family Court

awarding maintenance of ₹20,000/- per month to the appellant (minor

daughter), it is evident that the court had considered the material

placed before it. However, the High Court in revision, filed against the

aforesaid order by the respondent, recorded that earlier the

respondent was doing private work and at present he is financially

distressed.

8. The manner in which maintenance payable under Section

24 of the Hindu Mariage Act, 1955 or Section 125 Cr.P.C. is to be

assessed, was considered by this Court in its celebrated judgment in

Rajnesh v. Neha and Another, (2021) 2 SCC 324. Detailed guidelines

were issued. It was noticed that the terms of maintenance are decided

on the basis of pleadings of parties and on the basis of some amount of

guess work. It is often seen that both the parties submit scanty material

and do not disclose correct details. The tendency of the wife is to

exaggerate her needs, whereas the husband tends to conceal his actual

3
income. Keeping that in view, this Court laid down the procedure to

streamline grant of maintenance. The judgments of various courts

were referred to and response from various State Legal Services

Authorities was sought. This Court even requested the National Legal

Services Authority to submit a report on the suggestions received from

the State Legal Services Authorities for framing guidelines on the

affidavit of disclosure of assets and liabilities to be filed by the parties.

Guidelines were issued in exercise of powers under Article 136 read

with Article 142 of the Constitution of India, prescribing a uniform

format of Affidavit of Disclosure of Assets and Liabilities to be filed in

maintenance proceedings. The judgment was delivered on

04.11.2020. The affidavit was to be submitted in all maintenance

proceedings including pending proceedings. The directions given are

extracted as under:

“72. Keeping in mind the need for a uniform format
of Affidavit of Disclosure of Assets and Liabilities to be filed in
maintenance proceedings, this Court considers it necessary
to frame guidelines in exercise of our powers under Article
136 read with Article 142 of the Constitution of India:

72.1. (a) The Affidavit of Disclosure of Assets and
Liabilities annexed at Enclosures I, II and III of this judgment,
as may be applicable, shall be filed by the parties in all
maintenance proceedings, including pending proceedings

4
before the Family Court/District Court/Magistrate’s Court
concerned, as the case may be, throughout the country;
72.2. (b) The applicant making the claim for
maintenance will be required to file a concise application
accompanied with the Affidavit of Disclosure of Assets;
72.3. (c) The respondent must submit the reply along
with the Affidavit of Disclosure within a maximum period of
four weeks. The courts may not grant more than two
opportunities for submission of the Affidavit of Disclosure of
Assets and Liabilities to the respondent. If the respondent
delays in filing the reply with the affidavit, and seeks more
than two adjournments for this purpose, the court may
consider exercising the power to strike off the defence of the
respondent, if the conduct is found to be wilful and
contumacious in delaying the proceedings
[Kaushalya v. Mukesh Jain, (2020) 17 SCC 822 : 2019 SCC
OnLine SC 1915] . On the failure to file the affidavit within the
prescribed time, the Family Court may proceed to decide the
application for maintenance on the basis of the affidavit filed
by the applicant and the pleadings on record;
72.4. (d) The above format may be modified by the
court concerned, if the exigencies of a case require the same.
It would be left to the judicial discretion of the court concerned
to issue necessary directions in this regard.
72.5. (e) If apart from the information contained in the
Affidavits of Disclosure, any further information is required,
the court concerned may pass appropriate orders in respect
thereof.

5

72.6. (f) If there is any dispute with respect to the
declaration made in the Affidavit of Disclosure, the aggrieved
party may seek permission of the court to serve
interrogatories, and seek production of relevant documents
from the opposite party under Order 11 CPC. On filing of the
affidavit, the court may invoke the provisions of Order 10 CPC
or Section 165 of the Evidence Act, 1872, if it considers it
necessary to do so. The income of one party is often not within
the knowledge of the other spouse. The court may invoke
Section 106 of the Evidence Act, 1872 if necessary, since the
income, assets and liabilities of the spouse are within the
personal knowledge of the party concerned.
72.7. (g) If during the course of proceedings, there is
a change in the financial status of any party, or there is a
change of any relevant circumstances, or if some new
information comes to light, the party may submit an
amended/supplementary affidavit, which would be
considered by the court at the time of final determination.
72.8. (h) The pleadings made in the applications for
maintenance and replies filed should be responsible
pleadings; if false statements and misrepresentations are
made, the court may consider initiation of proceeding under
Section 340 CrPC, and for contempt of court.
72.9. (i) In case the parties belong to the economically
weaker sections (“EWS”), or are living below the poverty line
(“BPL”), or are casual labourers, the requirement of filing the
affidavit would be dispensed with.

6

72.10. (j) The Family Court/District Court/Magistrate’s
Court concerned must make an endeavour to decide the IA for
interim maintenance by a reasoned order, within a period of
four to six months at the latest, after the Affidavits of Disclosure
have been filed before the court.

72.11. (k) A professional Marriage Counsellor must be
made available in every Family Court.”

9. Criteria was also laid down for determining the quantum of

maintenance. Guidelines were laid down regarding maintenance to

minor children in paras 91 and 92 thereof, which are extracted below:

“Permanent alimony

91. The living expenses of the child would include
expenses for food, clothing, residence, medical expenses,
education of children. Extra coaching classes or any other
vocational training courses to complement the basic
education must be factored in, while awarding child
support. Albeit, it should be a reasonable amount to be
awarded for extracurricular/coaching classes, and not an
overly extravagant amount which may be claimed.

92. Education expenses of the children must be
normally borne by the father. If the wife is working and
earning sufficiently, the expenses may be shared
proportionately between the parties.”

DEPONENT”

11. Separate Affidavits were provided for agrarian and non-

agrarian deponents as the particulars to be furnished by the deponents

living in the urban areas are entirely different from those who are living

in rural and tribal areas. Separate format of Affidavit has been

provided for the residents of the State of Meghalaya considering its

special status. It is predominantly a tribal area and follows matrilineal

system of society.

12. In Neha Tyagi v. Lieutenant Colonel Deepak Tyagi,

(2022) 3 SCC 86, this court while upholding the decree of divorce

granted by the courts below, opined that even after the divorce, the

husband is not absolved of his liability and responsibility to maintain

child/son till he attains the age of majority. In a dispute between the

15
husband and wife, the child should not be made to suffer. Relevant

para 6 thereof is extracted below:

“6. However, at the same time, the respondent
husband cannot be absolved from his liability and
responsibility to maintain his son Pranav till he attains the age
of majority. Whatever be the dispute between the husband
and the wife, a child should not be made to suffer. The liability
and responsibility of the father to maintain the child continues
till the child/son attains the age of majority. It also cannot be
disputed that the son Pranav has a right to be maintained as
per the status of his father. It is reported that the mother is not
earning anything. She is residing at her parental house at
Jaipur. Therefore, a reasonable/sufficient amount is required
for the maintenance of her son including his education etc.
which shall have to be paid by the respondent husband,
irrespective of the decree of dissolution of marriage between
the appellant wife and the respondent husband. The amount
which was being paid pursuant to the order passed by the
Army authorities on 15-11-2012 has also been stopped by the
respondent husband since December 2019.”
(emphasis supplied)

However, in a given case, where the earning of the wife is also good,

that factor can always be considered as joint parenting is always best

for upbringing of the child. The basic object is the welfare of the child.

16

13. A perusal of the order passed by the High Court shows that

the amount of maintenance awarded to the appellant was reduced from

₹20,000/- to ₹7,500/- per month, merely noticing that earlier, the

respondent was in business. However, at that point in time he was in

debt and in financial distress, hence, not able to pay huge amount of

maintenance to the minor daughter. The respondent is not

represented before this Court to justify the stand taken by him before

the High Court. The Family Court had passed a detailed order giving

reasons.

14. Nothing is evident from the record or even pointed out by

the learned counsel for the appellant at the time of hearing that

affidavits were filed by both the parties in terms of judgment of this

Court in Rajnesh’s case (supra), which was directed to be

communicated to all the High Courts for further circulation to all the

Judicial Officers for awareness and implementation. The case in hand

is not in isolation. Even after pronouncement of the aforesaid

judgment, this Court is still coming across number of cases decided by

the courts below fixing maintenance, either interim or final, without

their being any affidavit on record filed by the parties. Apparently, the

officers concerned have failed to take notice of the guidelines issued

by this Court for expeditious disposal of cases involving grant of

17
maintenance. Comprehensive guidelines were issued pertaining to

overlapping jurisdiction among courts when concurrent remedies for

grant of maintenance are available under the Special Marriage Act,

1954, Section 125 Cr.P.C., the Protection of Women from Domestic

Violence Act, 2005, Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and Hindu Adoptions and

Maintenance Act, 1956, and Criteria for determining quantum of

maintenance, date from which maintenance is to be awarded,

enforcement of orders of maintenance including fixing payment of

interim maintenance. As a result, the litigation which should close at

the trial level is taken up to this Court and the parties are forced to

litigate.

15. As in the case in hand, the impugned order passed by the

High Court is cryptic and is bereft of reasons. In our opinion, the same

deserves to be set aside and the matter is liable to be remitted to the

High Court for consideration afresh. Ordered accordingly. As the

respondent remained unrepresented, the High Court may issue notice

for his appearance on the date so fixed by it.

16. Considering the facts of the case in hand and the other

similar cases coming across before this Court not adhering to the

guidelines given in Rajnesh’s case (supra), we deem it appropriate to

direct the Secretary General of this Court to re-circulate the aforesaid

18
judgment not only to all the Judicial Officers through the High Courts

concerned but also to the National Judicial Academy and the State

Judicial Academies, to be taken note of during the training

programmes as well. Ordered accordingly.

17. The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
