Supreme Court has enhanced the maintenance amount of a daughter considering her age. The order was passed by a three judges bench in the case titled ANIRBAN GHOSH vs SANCHITA GHOSH on 03.12.2019.
Supreme Court observed and held as under:
"We have heard Mr. Ashim Kr. Banerjee, learned senior counsel appearing for the appellant, who has submitted that in compliance of Order dated 05.10.2018, the appellant is regularly paying the maintenance of Rs.15,000/- to the daughter every month either by way of Demand Draft or by way of Cheque.
Since the daughter is stated to be aged about 16 years, in modification of Order of this Court dated 05.10.2018, we direct the appellant to pay the maintenance of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) per month to the daughter, instead of Rs.15,000/- as ordered earlier, in the same manner, either by way of RTGS or by way of Demand Draft/Cheque, until further orders from this Court. In case of any difficulty, the appellant is at liberty to make a mention".
