The Jharkhand High Court ruled that the husband's income was higher than previously assumed and granted his wife a 30‑lakh rupee alimony.
In a recent judgment, the Jharkhand High Court rejected the lower court's assumptions about the husband's income. The court found that the husband earned substantially more than the figures presented earlier. Consequently, the court awarded the wife a lump‑sum alimony of Rs 30 lakh. The decision underscores the importance of accurate financial disclosure in matrimonial disputes. The case is now expected to be reviewed by the Supreme Court if the parties appeal.
