The Karnataka High Court rejected a wife's case to enhance the maintenance awarded to her as the husband was jobless while she was getting a handsome salary. The wife, argued in court that he has a share in his ancestral properties and even has properties in his name, but is suppressing those material facts before the Court.
The Karanataka High Court examined the circumstances of the case and noted that his exact share in the ancestral property was yet to be finalised and the same could not serve as a ground for enhancing maintenance for her. The high court also said that her financial statements made it clear that she could spend a significant amount on legal expenses.
