This is a Judgment of District Judge of Rohini Court Delhi ordering no maintenance to a wife who is a qualified engineer and that she also joined the job after her marriage. Moreover, she did not disclose same in her application
Neeraj Aggarwal Vs Veeka Aggarwal on September 19, 2007Those seeking justice and equity from the Court must come to the court with clean hands. It seems that for obvious reasons and to extract money the applicant/ wife has not disclosed her true qualifications in the Court. The applicant/ wife is an engineer graduate and, therefore, can very well maintain herself and there is no need for her to depend upon the mercy of her parents or on the non-applicant/ husband. The purpose of Section 24 of H.M. Act is not to extract money from the other party and the court should not be a forum to extract the money or to blackmail the other party.
