During an alimony hearing in the Supreme Court today, July 22, CJI BR Gavai asked a woman what her demand for alimony is. The woman applicant said that she just wants the house in Mumbai and INR 12 crore for maintenance. Replying to her, CJI BR Gavai said, "But that house is in Kalpataru… one of the good builders. You’re an IT person. You’ve done your MBA. You’re in demand ..Bengaluru, Hyderabad... Why don’t you work also?" Post this, the woman applicant said that her husband is very rich. She also claimed that he had sought the nullity of the marriage, claiming she is schizophrenic. However, senior advocate Madhavi Divan, who appeared on behalf of the husband, told the court that the woman also has to work. "Everything cannot be demanded like this," she added. After hearing both sides, the Supreme Court reserved an order in connection with the matter.
