Kiran Tukaram Gedam vs Tukaram Sitaram Gedam Advocate - P.J.Ghongde — 168/2024

Case Summary: 168/2024 Court Decision: The court partially allowed the petition filed by Kiran Tukaram Gedam and Tanmay Tukaram Gedam against Tukaram Sitaram Gedam. The petitioner (wife) sought maintenance for herself and her 4-year-old son after separation from her husband. The court found that the respondent, aged 28-30, possesses means of income (including agricultural land and daily labor work earning ₹500-1000 daily) and is capable of providing maintenance. Key Reasoning: The court found insufficient evidence of the respondent's financial incapacity and noted his failure to substantively contest the claims or provide satisfactory documentation. Despite the respondent's receipt of summons and subsequent court orders, he filed no proper response, weakening his position. The court awarded maintenance of ₹10,000 monthly to the petitioner and ₹5,000 towards court costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
