Dvc order - enforcement procedure

Section 12 subsection (2) of The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 provides that one may claim compensation for injuries caused by domestic violence committed by respondent and in Section 2 (k) 'monetary compensation' is defined. Lastly, Clause 6, section 20 of the act addresses the issue of failure on the part of respondent to pay the compensation, in which case the court may direct the employer or debtor of respondent to directly pay the aggrieved party or deposit it with the court a portion of his wages/ salary/debt which may be adjusted with monetary relief of the aggrieved party. As mentioned above in the relevant sections, the victim can enforce the judgement and file petition under section 20(6) of Domestic Violence Act to enforce the said order/ judgement. Same was held in K. Vinoth vs Renuka Devi (2018).

Thank U. In fact, I was under the impression that when the DVC Order of the Court is not complied with, we can invoke CONTEMPT OF COURT ACT.
