New Delhi, June 14 (IANS) A Delhi court has expressed concern over self-employed men involved in matrimonial discord cases not revealing their real income ahead of the fixation of maintenance for their estranged wives.
Metropolitan Magistrate Priya Mahendra in a recent order directed Dalbir, a farmer from Hamidpur in north Delhi, to pay a monthly maintenance of Rs.10,000 to his estranged wife and two minor daughters.
The court ruled that the real income of self-employed men involved in such cases never came to the surface.
"Unfortunately, in India, parties do not truthfully reveal their income. For self- employed persons or persons employed in the unorganised sector, truthful income never surfaces," said the court.
The court's remarks came after hearing that Dalbir's monthly earning was between Rs.6,000-7,000. He told the court that he was a farmer and earned Rs.75,000 a year.
The court said that it was unbelievable that a man having so many properties in Delhi had an income of Rs.6,000-7,000 per month.
"It is important to note that even the minimum wage for an unskilled person in Delhi is Rs.6,000 per month," said the court.
The court also considered the submission made by Dalbir's estranged wife that he owned many properties and earned around Rs.8-10 lakh a year.
"The respondent is the owner of a number of lands and it is not possible for him to maintain such properties without having good income. The income of the respondent in the present case can be reasonably assessed as Rs.30,000-40,000 per month," said the court.
The court directed Dalbir to pay Rs.5,000 a month to his wife and Rs.5,000 a month to his minor school-going daughters.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Dalbir's estranged wife for maintenance. She told the court that they got married Feb 18, 1999. Later Dalbir's family started torturing her for not bringing enough dowry.
After the birth of two daughters, Dalbir and his family abused her for not giving birth to a boy.
The woman told the court that she was turned out of her husband's house Jan 27, 2009, along with her two daughters and denied any maintenance.

Get an Eiffel of Jennifer and Justin - The Sun
The pair were spotted cosying up under an umbrella as they shopped in Rue St. Honoré on Tuesday, but reappeared last night suited and booted for a meal at the exclusive Jules Verne restaurant, situated on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower.
Looking fresh-faced and showing no signs of jet-lag after their long flight, Jen and Justin held hands as they headed out for an evening of top nosh.
The couple, who have been together since May 2011, looked more loved-up than ever, arousing further suspicion that they may be on the brink of tying the knot.
In April, Jen flew back to her roots in Greece, reportedly to check out potential wedding venues.
She is said to have hinted to staff at the Elounda Beach Hotel about a July wedding.
It seems the former Friends star may even pip ex-husband Brad Pitt — who announced his engagement to Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie in April — to the matrimonial post.
The 43-year-old actress has had a string of bad luck when it comes to love, but fans and friends are hoping that Jen has found her Mr Right at last in actor Justin, 40.

Cops arrest fake IPS trainee who cheated women on matrimonial sites - Times of India
Claiming himself as an trainee IPS officer, he approached Nithya, who had posted her profile on the matrimonial site, with a marriage proposal. After finalising the wedding, he asked the woman to financially help him to complete his training and took 10 sovereigns of gold and Rs 10,000 from her. He then went into hiding.
Based on the complaint of M Nithya (29) of Saidapet, CCB police registered a case and launched a search for the man.
Central crime branch police are hunting for the man who they believe was earlier arrested by the Madurai crime branch police in connection with a similar offence. He was then remanded in judicial custody at the Madurai central prison.
He had cheated 16 girls in a similar manner conniving with his relative Perumal.
Police said he had created several fake IDs and posted his profile on matrimonial sites. He used a number of SIM cards to talk to different women. Police said he might have also misused the credit cards of women.

Murphy's Law: Woods plays like Tiger of old - Yahoo! Eurosport
Under a cool blue-gray California sky on Thursday at the US Open, Woods did the darndest thing. He played like Tiger Woods used to play at a Major.
Gone were the pained expressions after mis-hits. Gone was the clank of a golf club banging off a tee box in a disgusted follow through. Gone was the muttered profanity.
In was a calm, clinical golfer. In was a player intent on a game plan, on calling the USGA's bluff and opting for fairway-pounding tee shots. In was a player thinking his way around the grueling Olympic Club setup, cagily eyeing each hole as if it were an adversary worthy of his best chess move.
Sixty-nine golf shots later, Tiger had his best first-round score at a US Open since his 67 at the 2002 Bethpage Black US Open. He won that US Open.
The question: Who kidnapped the Tiger Woods who hasn't won a Major in four calendar years, and replaced him with Tiger Woods?
Don't think the field didn't notice. Bubba Watson, whose first-round 78 smacked of surrender to Olympic's beastly demands, sure did.
"That was the old Tiger," he said, in gifting the media with Thursday's mission statement. "That was beautiful to watch."
So did Phil Mickelson, the other part of the underwhelming "Big Three" pairing. After Lefty's pained 76, and after speaking of his desire to simply make the weekend at this point, he was asked about Tiger's scorecard, which trumped him by seven strokes.
"He's playing really well," said Mickelson, the idea of his Pebble Beach romp over Woods in February somewhere far off in the distant memory banks. "He had solid control of his ball flight, and trajectory. It was impressive."
Yes, 54 holes of wind and canted fairways and small greens and firm conditions await. Yes, veteran, steady, US Open-styled players such as David Toms and Matt Kuchar and Jim Furyk are off to fine starts, and have the air of players intent on contending all weekend. And, yes, Tiger 2.0, post-career humiliation, has yet to stitch four championship rounds at a Major. But to ignore the many bright neon signs of goodness in Tiger's game Thursday is to ignore the story of the day.
Mostly, what emerged on Day 1 of America's national golf championship was what the old, 14-time Major champion Tiger used to love most: a golf course's arduous requests meshing with his maniacally focused approach.
Olympic Club is one of those places where Tiger Woods, in another incarnation, would not thrive. He used to be Tiger the Bomber when he was younger, not able to control his driver, not able to win at tight, tree-lined tracks. Tiger is older now, wiser at 36. And after masterful performances like the irons-off-the-tee Open at Liverpool in 2006, he is capable of meeting Olympic on its own terms.
If that means hitting only three drivers all day – on Nos. 9, 10 and 16 – so be it. He used iron off the tee repeatedly, and hit 10 of 14 fairways, 11 of 18 greens. If that means understanding that lag putting is the key because Olympic's firm greens deny tight approaches, so be it. He lag putted masterfully, and made only two bogeys. If that means mentally meeting Olympic's test, accepting the grind and not wishing for birdie holes or eagle holes, all the better. When Tiger Woods is healthy, mentally and physically, he'll take on anybody in the field when it comes to patience and work.
"There's no let up," Woods said of Olympic. "There's not one single hole where it's a breather … It's so demanding, you've got to really grind."
For Tiger, to "grind" is almost holy. If Hank Haney's book, "The Big Miss," reaffirmed anything, it was Tiger's passion for labour. When others wilt, or get tired, Tiger seeks a second wind. When others succumb to temptation and try to bomb driver – as Bubba did repeatedly Thursday – Tiger lays back, ever the tortoise to the field's hare. This player who once was defined by his length off the tee can play rope-a-dope golf, too.
Of course, none of this is applicable if Tiger's swing plane is off, if his ever-changing golf swing is one of its famous transition phases. That seemed to be the case at the Masters in April, en route to his tie-40th, or at Quail Hollow, where he missed the cut. And when Tiger told us repeatedly that he was hitting it "better" and was "close," our choices were to roll our eyes and wonder about his powers of delusion, or to believe him, and to wait for glory.
Most of us opted for the former. Others, as vindicated by a win in his last start at the Memorial, and a flop shot for the ages down the stretch, believed in the latter. Tiger's ball control Thursday at Olympic affirmed their positive thoughts.
"I know I can hit the ball this way, and I know I have been hitting the ball this way," Tiger said, for seemingly the umpteenth time, but this time with weight of evidence.
As he said it, a red "1" hung on the manual scoreboards next to the name "WOODS" all over Olympic's gorgeous landscape. It symbolized his 1-under par score, and for most of the day was one of only three red numbers after 18 holes, next to leader Michael Thompson and Toms. Every player in the field saw it, and knew that this Major championship suddenly had its dominant theme.

Kent State University going solar in July - Cleveland Plain Dealer
KENT, Ohio -- Anybody who doubts Kent State University is a sports powerhouse should visit the Field House at the school's main campus.
A $1.5 million solar array -- the largest at any public university in Ohio -- now covers the building's nearly one-acre roof. The system's 1,716 solar panels, now being installed by Thompson Electric of Munroe Falls, will generate nearly a half-million watts when completed in July.
Solar developer Third Sun of Athens, Ohio, estimates the array will annually generate about 500,000 kilowatt hours. That's enough electricity for 50 homes, or about a third of the power consumed in the Field House and nearby Dix Stadium, said Robert Misbrener, project manager for the Office of the University Architect.
When electrical demand at the Field House and stadium is less, the power flowing off the roof will go into FirstEnergy Corp.'s wires - with a monthly credit back to the school, he said.
Third Sun financed the project and will own the array for seven years, selling the power to the school at a rate higher than FirstEnergy's rate, said Third Sun President Geoff Greenfield. But that rate also buys solar renewable energy credits, or SRECs, that Ohio utility regulators count for every kilowatt-hour generated.
The university will sell the credits to electric utilities which, by law, must buy such credits or face a stiff fine if they fail to generate electricity at their own solar farms.
When the cash from the credits is accounted for, the price of the power should be slightly lower than the utility rate, said Misbrener.
After seven years, the university has the option to buy the system, or it can negotiate a new power purchase contract, he said.
