Son Dragged the Father to the Court Under DV ACt.

it is definite that a male can not file a case under dv act. it is a special right to women ie female in zender.

might be on sympathitic ground the court order will not be challenged, but it is a bad and illigal instance which should be corrected.

i think the case was brought by the mother of the boy against the father, where the boy is also a co petitioner.

interested to know the real fact.

Quite strange.  Need to know the real facts.  If so, fathers beware-you are in for yet another weapon in the hands of women.  Minor child files case under sec 125 of crpc and now also under DV Act - ofcourse at the behest of greedy and evil minded mothers. 

a boy cant file a complaint under a specific law which is only for womans, ie protecn of WOMEN from domestc. violnce act.

I agree with Mr. Arup Kumar Gupta ji and Mr. Tarun Kalra Ji

A minor can file a case thru a guardian only. He cannot file on his own.

Facts, though vague and incomplete, yet I am dead sure that in no case,  whether through mother or else other, as a lawful guardian , recognised under the law to protect interests of minor,     NO MALE MINOR  can bring any suit IN HIS EXCLUSIVE NAME, against male member under DV Act, except petition u/s 125 of Cr.P.C.  or under Adoption and guardianship Act, therefore, taking up the matter  and or passing any orders thereunder, in the exclusive name of male member (minor) against male that too under DV Act, is not only  illegal but unsustainable under the law and is thus bound to be set aside,  besides,   taking due care against SUCH   "JUDICIAL INDICIPLINE"   

You are absolutely right, sir. Law provides that any minor under any should be represented by his adult representative/guardian. No case under any act can be filed solely in the name of the Minor and the law is amply clear and set on this point. It is wonder of wonders how the court can admit such a case in the first place! The facts may be different and they need to be checked first before giving any opinion - but one this is sure that no minor can file a suit on his own less so under DV Act.

Advocate Chhabra is correct as per  existing law. A minor is represented through his/her next friend let it be guardian / or some other legal representative.
