The petitioner is the wife and the respondent is the husband. They got married on 20.04.2018 and gave birth to a girl child. Due to misunderstanding between them, they got separated and as such, the petitioner filed petition seeking monthly maintenance of Rs.50,000/-. After conducting due trial, the Family Court dismissed the maintenance petition filed by the petitioner. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed the present revision. 3.

It is seen that the petitioner is a Dentist and the respondent is also a doctor by profession. Further the respondent marked photos and Whats app conversation which are supported by the provision under Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act and it shows that the petitioner is having adultery relationship with other person. Further the petitioner also failed to file any assets and liability statement before the trial Court and she didn't even whisper about her vocation and income. Therefore, the trial Court rightly dismissed the petition and this Court finds no infirmity or illegality in the order passed by the Court below.
