The Calcutta High Court recently said that a wife who leaves or is compelled to leave her matrimonial house cannot be asked to incur the costs of litigation of the matrimonial suit filed against her by her husband. The single-judge Justice Biswaroop Chowdhury, in his May 3 order, said that courts should grant "litigation costs" to the wife at the outset when the husband files a matrimonial case against her. The court observed while passing the order in an application filed by a husband who challenged the decision of a lower court that ordered him to pay monthly litigation costs of Rs 3,000 to his estranged wife so that she could contest the matrimonial suit instituted by him. HC on Husband-Wife Relation: Both Husband and Wife Are Duty-Bound To Create Congenial Family Atmosphere, Says Calcutta High Court.
