Wife earning Rs 1.5 lakh per month sought higher maintenance citing husbands one acre land and ancestral property; HC refused higher maintenance on this ground

A wife earning Rs 1.5 lakh monthly sought higher maintenance from her husband. The Karnataka High Court denied her plea. The court noted her substantial income and the husband's limited assets, including a mortgaged one-acre land. His potential share in ancestral property was deemed insufficient grounds for enhancement. The court upheld the original maintenance order.
