In Brief
In this special leave petition, the petitioner challenged the lower court's judgment affirming maintenance to his wife. The Supreme Court, relying on its earlier decision in Badshah v. Urmila Badshah Godse and Anr., declined to interfere with the maintenance award. The Court found no grounds to disturb the judgment and dismissed the petition, holding that courts will not ordinarily overturn awards of wife maintenance affirmed by lower courts when consistent with established family law principles.
