Smt. Roopa V.M vs Chethan G — 33/2024

Summary The Court of Civil Judge and J.M.F.C at Sringeri granted an ex-parte interim maintenance order on October 3, 2024, directing the Respondent (a Police Constable earning Rs. 60,000/month) to pay Rs. 5,000 per month to Petitioner No. 2 (the minor daughter) for her maintenance. The court reduced the requested amount of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 5,000 after finding a prima-facie case that the Respondent had willfully neglected his maintenance obligations despite having sufficient means, while the Petitioner No. 1 (earning Rs. 24,000/month) had insufficient income to support herself and the minor child. The order is subject to modification or cancellation after the Respondent is heard. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
