Jaipur Man Pays Maintenance Dues Worth Rs 55,000 In Coins To Ex-Wife, Ordered To Count Them In Court
A Jaipur man was surprisingly allowed by a court to give Rs 55,000 maintenance to his wife in one and two rupee coins. However, the tale did not exactly end in his favour.
A man in Jaipur pulled the ultimate petty move to get back at his wife but was faced with karma¡¯s crackling smack instead. Dashrath Kumawat, a native of the Harmada area in Jaipur, was surprisingly allowed by a court to give Rs 55,000 maintenance to his wife in one and two rupee coins. However, the tale did not exactly end in his favour.

The man was arrested on June 17 after family court number 1 issued a recovery warrant against him for non-payment of maintenance to his wife. The husband refused to give the amount to his wife, which forced the police to arrest him.
According to what Raman Gupta, the advocate of the husband, told Press Trust of India on Tuesday, the family court was closed due to holidays. This led to him being produced in the link court of Additional District Judge (ADG)-number 8.
To clear the man¡¯s dues, his family reached court with Rs 55,000 worth of payment in one and two rupee coins. This money was supposed to go to his wife as maintenance dues for 11 months which he had not paid so far. His family brought the money filled in seven sacks to the court following his arrest for non-payment.

The wife¡¯s council obviously objected to receiving the payment in coins and cited ¡°mental harassment¡± in front of the judge. However, the court allowed the man to give his dues in the form of 1 and 2 Rupee coins. But the judge asked the man to count every penny in court to make bundles of Rs 1000 each and hand them over to her at the next hearing on June 26. This means the man would have to spend hours making 55 packets full of nearly a thousand coins.
This was definitely a clever resolve by the court to the man¡¯s pettiness. The case landed in the family court after Kumawat was ordered by the court to send Rs 5,000 every month to his wife as maintenance but he failed to do so for 11 months straight which raised the amount of his dues to Rs 55,000.
When the wife¡¯s lawyer objected to being paid in coins, it was argued on Kumawat¡¯s behalf that these coins are legal tender and no one can refuse to accept them. The wife, Seema Kumawat's advocate Ramprakash Kumawat expressed that bringing the payment in coins was "equal to mental harassment."
