Justice G Satapathy of the Orissa High Court in the case of Bhupendra Singh Notey v. Gagandeep Kaur observed that well, and educational qualified men who choose to remain idle to avoid paying maintenance to their wives and children deserve to be strongly criticised.
The Justice said that law can come to rescue someone who has failed to find a job despite their efforts but cannot help if individuals choose to be idle to frustrate the efforts of others.
The court accordingly dismissed the husband’s petition.
