Dear experts,
I have two doubts regarding DV Act as below.
1) The Residence order clause says that an agreved women may ask (majistrate may order) for separate residence as per respndents current status (accomodation) or may ask (order) for rent for the same to be paid to agreved person- Now what are the prrofs/points a majistrate would be looking into before giving a separate residence/rent order is not clear....I mean if respndent says that he is ready to accomodate her in his own premises then on what ground majistrate may order separate rent/residence?
2) The protection order clause says that on a single testimony of the agrived wife, respondent should be imprisoned - Isn't it the violation of very fundamentals of human rights of respondent and also against Constitution which says that 1000 criminals should be left free but no single innocent should get punished!?!?!?
Can learned friends though light on above two clauses of DV act and enlighten me about the procedure/proof upon which they are ordered?
Thanks,
PC
