Father Challenges Rs 50,000 Monthly Maintenance for Son in Supreme Court

A father has approached the Supreme Court against a Punjab and Haryana High Court order increasing his minor son's maintenance to Rs 50,000 per month from February 4, 2016. He contends that his income, assessed years later, should not apply retroactively for a decade. The Supreme Court issued notice on September 30, 2026, and will hear the case on October 30, 2026. The father claims his recorded salary was Rs 15.25 lakh annually and disputes the higher maintenance based on unverified income.
