Respected sir,

regarding interim order and facts

respondent-1 was a teacher in school in year 2008 on contract which was upto april 2009
timing of the school was 11.00-6.00pm

specific time of the school was chosen because respondent-1 has to do otherhouse hold work as his mother was paralytic. and since begining applicant was not staying in matrimonial home.

respondent received b.Ed result on 29-July-2010 and court notice of domestic violence on 10-Aug-2010.

Education institution are not providing job to those candidates who are in litigation. asthey are the centres of sensitive minds.

hence respondent remain jobless since jan-2009

Applicant has mentioned in her application that respondent are earning more than Rs 30000.00 through tution & classes and not even a single evidence is presented by her in the court in support what she can never submit as husband was never attached with classes and tution.

mediator has filled the case of domestic violence with allegation of demand of dowry , pregnancy kick, physical and mental harrasment,

particularly she has mentioned at many places that on the instigation of sister and respondent-no-2 . respondent-no-1 demands dowry and mis behave with applicant.

If you highlight these issues at the time of hearing of appeal of the order from DV case, the court would surely consider the same.
If the wife becomes pregnant after leaving her matrimonial home , you can pray for dismissal of the case u/s `125 crpc as the wife is living in adultery.

You have various defenses in your favor; you have to use them at right time and before right forum.you can get the order set aside by filing an appeal and can seek divorce.Must contact a lawyer who is dealing in such kinds of cases.You will find some case law in your favor.

Hi Navin,
First of all there is no need to get worked up about what she (your wife) is alleging. The DV Act is a ridiculous Act and unscrupulous lawyers make things worse. The respondents loose out not because they are actually guilty but because they begin to believe that their world is now coming to an end.
All the facts that you have stated like, the Applicant never stayed at the matrimonial home, your actual salary and the fact that you are unemployed amongst other such important fact are good enough to assail the order of the JMFC. Instead of challenging it in the Sessions Court you should have directly gone to HC u/s 482.
By the way you have not mentioned if the Applicant was able to prove her allegations about the demand for dowry and more specifically Domestic Violence
Hopefully you should be successful at the Session Court if what you have stated is correct. Else approach the HC to get this order quashed.
Good Luck to you.

It is very sad story of you. We all know that 90% of such cases are more or less same but unfortunately no concrete measure could be done to stop misuse of otherwise beneficial legislation for women. Courts are handicapped in the hands of law framed by legislation, however, some rays of hope have come from judiciary. Recently Bombay High Court has imposed a fine of Rs. 50,000/- upon a women engaged in similar litigation as you are facing.

In your case, you have no option but to plead your case with real facts before courts again and again.
