As per case facts, the Petitioner, a divorced wife, sought enhancement of maintenance from her husband, a high-earning Chartered Accountant. Her initial application was dismissed on technical grounds, and a
...fresh one was filed later. Concurrently, an execution petition for maintenance arrears was disposed of as satisfied. The Petitioner challenged the maintenance amount awarded, its effective date, and the disposal of her execution petition. The question arose whether maintenance should be further enhanced, if it should be payable from the date of her first (dismissed) application or her fresh application, and if the execution order correctly interpreted the prior maintenance judgment. Finally, the court enhanced the maintenance amount, affirmed its effective date from the fresh application, and upheld the execution order, finding the execution challenge frivolous and noting an overpayment by the Respondent.
