The respondent husband is working as Medical Supervisor and he is posted in Adani Company and he is getting a sum of Rs. 25,000/- per month. The applicant wife is source of not having any to income and she is unable maintenance herself. Hence she has filed application for grant of maintenance.

Learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits that the impugned
order is contrary to the facts, law and circumstances of this case. It is further submitted that the applicant was being ill treated and mentally

7. Considering the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the applicant, and from the perusal of the order of the Family Court, it transpires that no any good ground has been raised on merits by the applicants’ side, thus, it transpires that after hearing all the statements of the witnesses and perusing the evidence available on record, the learned Family Court has passed the impugned order, and there is no any illegality and infirmity while passing the same which requires interference by this Court.
