By the impugned order, the Family Court, Kolhapur has granted maintenance of Rs. 8000/- per month to the wife from the date of the application, i.e., 3 June 2024, till the main proceedings, filed under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. are decided. 3.

On behalf of the respondent-wife, it is submitted that the applicant husband owns a building comprising of ground plus two floors. The respondent-wife is residing in two rooms on the ground floor and the remaining portion of the ground floor has been rented out. The applicant-husband is residing on the first floor along with his sister and mother, whereas the second floor is also been rented out. It is therefore submitted that the applicant-husband rental income is approximately Rs.30,000/- to Rs.35,000/- per month.
