A single judge at Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court held as follows,
From Paras 12-13,
12. Considering the monthly income of the respondent, 25% of the same would be around Rs.7,400/-. But the trial without considering the ratio observed by the Apex Court in the case of Kulbhushan Kumar (Supra) has awarded lesser amount for maintenance. Therefore, interim maintenance awarded by the learned trial Court is to be enhanced.
13. On perusal of the record, it appears that the petitioner had filed maintenance application in the month of November, 2021 and had filed affidavit on 25.04.2023 hence, the learned trial Court has awarded maintenance since 25.04.2023 which appears to be just and proper.
