Navnath Baban Belote v. Supriya Ganpat Walunj
Case brief
What is this about?
Child maintenance upheld: Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench (Arun R. Pedneker, J.) dismisses husband's writ petition challenging Family Court, Ahmednagar order dated 05.06.2025 awarding Rs.15,000/- per month for the 3½-year-old child; both parents responsible for child's care; petitioner's substantial income (Rs.15,00,000/- p.a.; earning capacity Rs.2,00,000/- p.m.) demonstrated before trial court; wife's income Rs.37,000/- p.m.; school fees receipt Rs.60,000/-.
What did the court decide?
It is the responsibility of both parents to take care of the child; considering that the petitioner/husband's income was already demonstrated before the trial court and is substantial, the impugned maintenance order cannot be faulted with. ¶16
