The challenge in this Application is to the order passed by learned Family Court, Pune, granting maintenance of Rs.20,000/- per month to the Respondent. 2. It is contention of learned counsel for the Applicant that Respondent is working in ICCS Company at Mahape Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai with salary of Rs.20,000/- per month. The Application for maintenance was filed nearby two years after filing of divorce petition, which was after thought. The learned counsel further submitted that the Respondent has not filed an affidavit disclosing her income. No Bank statement or other document were placed on record to show the actual income of the Respondent. The learned counsel further submitted that the NILAM SANTOSH KAMBLE Digitally signed by NILAM SANTOSH KAMBLE Date: 2026.09.22 12:58:02 +0530 3-CRA-590-2025 (C).doc N.S.Kamble learned Judge has not considered the educational qualification of the Respondent. The Applicant has other liabilities but this fact is not considered by the learned Judge while determining the amount of maintenance and requested to allow the Application. 3. It is contention of learned counsel for Respondent that no documents have been produced on record to show that the Respondent is working in ICCS company and that she is earning a salary of Rs.20,000/- per month. Though the respondent is educationally qualified and capable of earning but at the time of the filing maintenance application, she had no independent source of income. The Applicant is carrying on business in the name of Vijayraj Fire Sales with annual turn over of Rs.1 Crore. The learned judge has passed well reasoned order and requested to dismiss the Application. 4. I have heard both learned counsel. Perused impugned order and documents produced on record. 5. It is Applicant’s case that Respondent works at ICCS company at Mahape Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai. However, no documents produced on record to show her income. Whereas, the documents produced on record shows that the Applicant carrying on a business by name Vijayraj Fire sales and GST documents with list at Exhibit-54 shows that the Applicant runs 3-CRA-590-2025 (C).doc N.S.Kamble the said business and the annual turn over of the said business is more than Rs.1 crores. On the basis of the income of the Applicant the learned Judge has granted Rs.20,000/- per month maintenance to the Respondent and I do not find infirmity in it. 6. I have gone through the case laws cited by the learned counsel for the Applicant facts of the present case and cited case are different. 7. Considering the material placed on record, the learned Judge has rightly appreciated the financial position of the parties and granted maintenance of Rs. 20,000/- per month to the Respondent. Mere educational qualification of the Respondent is not sufficient to deny maintenance. I find no error or infirmity in the impugned order warranting interference. Hence, the Application deserves to be dismissed and I pass following order. ORDER (i) The Civil Revision Application is dismissed. (ii) All pending Applications are disposed of. (SHIVKUMAR DIGE, J.)
