PATNA: In a relief to state environment, forest and climate change minister Tej Prarap’s estranged wife Aishwarya Rai, the Patna high court on Wednesday quashed a family court order which had fixed a paltry maintenance of Rs 22,000 per month for her.
A division bench comprising justice P B Bajathari and justice Arun Kumar Jha, while allowing the appeal of Aishwarya, also directed the family court concerned of Patna to hear the matter afresh within three months and take decision in accordance with law.
However, the high court laid down the condition for Aishwarya also to return all the amount she had received hitherto from Tej Prarap to which the appellant’s counsels nodded.

By impugned order the family court had decided monthly maintenance of Rs 22,000 to be paid to Aishwarya, till pendency of the divorce case.
