2022 almost one year back and being in service there are bound to be increments and promotions. Even if the inflation is considered, the amount will have to be enhanced. At the time of passing of the order the elder child was aged 10 years and now she must have been promoted to the higher standard and the educational expenses would have increased. Similarly, as far as the younger son is concerned, he will also be required to go to school and as such expenses will increase and being the father it is responsibility of the Petitioner to maintain the Respondent and the children.
