Success in Domestic Violence & Maintenance Defense
Fact Over Fiction: Reducing Inflated Maintenance Claims
Domestic Violence (DV) and maintenance disputes are often complicated by exaggerated financial claims. A significant recent victory in our defense practice highlights how rigorous evidence can protect clients from unjust financial burdens.
The Dispute:
After only one month of marriage, a spouse filed a DV case alleging abuse and claiming an exorbitant maintenance amount. To justify this, she falsely represented the husband’s professional status, claiming he was a high-level manager earning ₹200,000 per month. In reality, the husband was employed as a clerk.
The Defense Strategy:
The court initially ordered an interim maintenance of ₹15,000. We intervened by filing detailed objections and providing concrete evidence of the husband’s actual employment and income. We challenged the credibility of the claims by highlighting the mismatch between the allegations and the factual evidence.
The Outcome:
Through a persistent Criminal Appeal, we secured a major victory. The court reduced the maintenance first to ₹10,000 and finally to ₹6,000 per month. Furthermore, we secured a stay on these payments, providing our client with essential relief until the final disposal of the case.
