Maintenance Calculation Must Reflect Actual Means, Not Automatic Salary Deduction: Tripura HC Rejects 50% Deduction Rule
Tripura High Court sets Rs. 7,000 and Rs. 5,000 as fixed monthly maintenance for wife and minor daughter, respectively, rejecting the trial court's 50% salary deduction as disproportionate. The ruling reinforces the Rajnesh v. Neha principle that maintenance must align with the husband's actual financial capacity, not arbitrary salary deductions.
