The Bombay High Court has maintained a family court request, requesting a man to proceed with upkeep of his girl who filled in as a model. The court saw that the man’s case that his little girl was getting compensated liberally couldn’t be considered as it depended on the model’s web-based entertainment profile.
The request was documented by a man whose spouse, due to a conjugal disagreement, had recorded an application under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act for support pendente light, By a request passed on September 1, 2018, the man was held obligated to pay a measure of Rs 25,000 every month towards the upkeep of his little girl, till the definite removal of the principal request.
The man then, at that point, moved an application under the watchful eye of the family court once more, looking for a change of the request, arguing that his daughter is significant and is working and procuring adequately for her support. The court in 2024 recorded that, in any event, when a little girl becomes a major, she is qualified for upkeep from her dad till her marriage.
The man also ensured that his girl was alone and earning a good living from her display of vocation. The court glanced through the proof put on record. For example, the printed duplicates of the photos posted by his little girl on the web-based entertainment site, Instagram, where she guaranteed that she had acquired a pay of Rs 72 lakh to Rs 80 lakh.
Equity Bharti Dangre, while maintaining the request, said, “The family court judge, as I would like to think, has properly recorded that the photos of her Instagram history are not adequate to hold that she has a free and adequate pay.” He said, “It’s undeniably true that youngsters today project a lustrous picture via web-based entertainment and its items may not generally be valid.”
The court said that the man’s dispute that his girl’s profits are Rs 72 lakh to Rs 80 lakh depends simply on her Instagram profile and the family court has properly distrusted a similar without free proof to be welcomed on record to show her income,” said Justice Dangre. Equity Dangre’s four-page request in this way expressed that there was no “lawlessness or backwardness” in the decried request and, maintaining something similar, the writ appeal is dismissed.
