A wife filed a case of maintenance under section 125 crpc on husband in the year 2022.
But husband already deposited 10 lakhs on wife and child (each 5 lakhs) on December 2019. Wife is a bcom graduate. Basing on the qualification husband also made her to undergo bank coaching and tally coaching on his expenses for her future survival.
All the proofs are available with husband and she also filed 498A on husband and his family (father and mother) on 2020. Now husband has no job.
Kindly let me know whether the husband is liable to pay maintenance on the above conditions
Or
Suggest me are there any other ways to fight this case?
If any person proves that the proofs under maintenance provided by wife is false, is there any section to take action on her.
Here first point is, why husband deposit 10 lakhs on his wife and children? was it due to a court order for maintenance? or did he do it for an out-of-court settlement? Does the husband have any proof to show that he already made a settlement?
Secondly?
Any person who filed false evidence or an affidavit or fabricated the false evidence before any court can be tried under section 340 crpc read with section 195 PC. On the filing of such complaint the court will inquiry into the matter and punish the accused for perjury. but the other party shall have substatial evidence to prove the perjury.
