Summary
The applicant, Vaishali Anil Tikam, a wife, filed an interim application seeking to withdraw the maintenance amount that her husband, Anil Tikam, had deposited. The respondent objected to the withdrawal. The court considered that the deposited amount was maintenance payable to the wife and, therefore, she was entitled to access it. The judge allowed the interim application, permitting the applicant to withdraw the deposited amount along with any accrued interest. The application was subsequently disposed.
