On Thursday, the Delhi High Court ordered former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to provide a monthly maintenance of Rs 1.5 lakh to his estranged wife Payal Abdullah. The court also directed a monthly pay of Rs 60,000 to their son's education. This order came in response to a plea filed by Payal in July 2018, wherein she contested a trial court order from April 26, 2018.
The earlier order had granted an interim maintenance of Rs 75,000 per month to Payal and Rs 25,000 for their son until he reaches 18. However, Payal argued that the allowance was insufficient to take care of the family, as their sons are still dependent on their parents for education and daily expenditures.
In a separate case, a trial court in 2016 had dismissed Omar Abdullah's request for a divorce, concluding that he had failed to substantiate the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and his allegations of cruelty or desertion.
In a recently separate matter, Omar Abdullah claimed that the Jammu and Kashmir police's security cordon had simply vanished after the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) was suspended for a day. He alleged that the BJP was behind the incident.
