Abdul Wahab Mohamed Najeeb v Fathima Fasmin Ahamed – CA NO: LTA/0004/20-2022

In the case between Fathima Fasmin Ahamed and Abdul Wahab Mohamed Najeeb, the court addressed the validity of the Board of Quazi’s order awarding Rs. 140,000/- per month as child maintenance. The court held that the Board of Quazi’s decision was reasonable and supported by unrebutted evidence of the Respondent’s income, reaffirming the principle that maintenance orders must be grounded in credible and adequate evidence respecting both parties’ financial positions and the needs of the child. This decision relied on the provisions of the Muslim Marriage and Divorce Act and relevant constitutional articles, emphasizing that appellate intervention is unwarranted where lower tribunal findings are based on sufficient and unchallenged evidence.
