Summary: Preeti Sharma, the former wife of Anuj Sharma, fought for more money in Delhi courts. The situation involved claims of mental health issues, money arguments, and unexpected legal turns.
Preeti and Anuj Sharma got married on February 9, 1999. However, soon after, Preeti said she was treated badly by Anuj and his family. This led her to ask the court for financial support. On October 23, 2004, the court decided she should get ₹3,000 a month, which was later increased to ₹6,000 on September 21, 2005.
In 2006, Anuj asked for a divorce, saying Preeti was cruel and mentally unstable, which was granted on January 10, 2008. Preeti's appeal against this was dismissed in 2014, making the divorce official. Meanwhile, Preeti's request for more money was initially turned down but later submitted again in 2011.
On July 12, 2017, the Family Court increased Preeti's support money to ₹9,000 per month from January 13, 2011, and ₹15,000 per month moving forward. Preeti challenged this, asking for even more, arguing that Anuj's good salary as an accountant in Dubai justified it.
"Considering the cost of living... Anuj Sharma is told to pay the support money of Rs.9,000/- per month from the date of the request..." - Family Court Order
In 2018, Preeti said Anuj didn't pay all the money he owed, but the court found she had received the full amount, even an extra ₹2,200. Preeti's argument that the support money should have been higher was dismissed.
"The lawyer for Preeti Sharma has said that full payment has not been made..." - Family Court Observation
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma agreed with the Family Court's decisions. The support money was correctly set from January 13, 2011, and Preeti's requests for more money were dismissed on February 4, 2026.
"The increase in support money from 13.01.2011 is correct and needs no change." - Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma
The court battle showed how complicated money disputes can be, balancing what each person can afford with legal responsibilities. Preeti was told to pay costs for filing an unnecessary petition, marking the end of this legal case.
"The challenge to the order dated 06.04.2021 is without merit and is rejected." - Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma
