Learned trial court on a consideration of the materials placed on record came to the finding that the wife was living separately with two daughters and she has no means for 2 livelihood whereas husband has sufficient means of maintenance. Evidence on record further indicates that wife was ousted from the house and the husband has married second time with another lady.
