PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Wednesday upheld an order of the family court and directed a father to provide Rs60,000 per month for treatment of his ailing minor son, who is living with his [separated] mother.
A division bench comprising Justice Syed Afsar Shah and Justice Abdul Shakoor directed Sheheryar Shah, a businessman, to also provide the outstanding amount for the previous months for the treatment of his six-year-old son Salar Shah, who is a special child and under-treatment.
The counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was willing to pay for the treatment of his son, but it should be bound to receipts of the hospitals. Subhh Khalid, mother of the handicapped child, submitted that she had started a separate life since 2014 at the house of her parents after physical and mental torture by her husband Sheheryar Shah.
Tariq Javed, counsel for Subhh Khalid, submitted that in 2017, the family court had fixed Rs60,000 for treatment of the handicapped child as he suffered from various diseases and needs special care and treatment. The mother said that she had also filed a suit in the family court for her divorce.
