Ask your advocate what does this section 156(3) crpc mean, he will make you understand.
There is one Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. I am not sure whether people call it 'special domestic violence act' or not.

Section 156(3) of the Cr. P. C. (the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973) authorises a Magistrate to order for investigation of a case and the courts have interpreted it in the manner that a Magistrate can direct the police officer to register a case (FIR) and investigate.

"156. Police officer's power to investigate cognizable cases: (1) Any officer in charge of a police station may, without the order of a Magistrate, investigate any cognizable case which a court having jurisdiction over the local area within the limits of such station would have power to inquire into or try under the provisions of Chapter XIII.

(2) No proceeding of a police officer in any such case shall at any stage be called in question on the ground that the case was one, which such officer was not empowered under this section to investigate.

(3) Any Magistrate empowered under section 190 may order such an investigation as above mentioned."

There is only one Domestice Violence Act enacted in India which is known as "the Protection of Women from Domestice Violence Act, 2005 (No. 43 of 2005).
