The Delhi High Court, presided over by Justice Saurabh Banerjee, reduced the interim maintenance granted to a wife from Rs 30,000 to Rs 25,000 per month, holding that family courts cannot focus solely on the husband’s income while fixing maintenance under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.). The Court emphasized that
