Sir,

please see this judgement passed by trial court during dv proceedings in this court granted the visitation rights to respondent

i think relief requested is of civil nature so 151 cpc is applicabe

In Delhi magistrate court's order, the counsel for the wife did not challenge the maintainability of the application for visitation rights so the court has not decided that particular question.  You may try your luck by moving an application provided the counsel for the wife does not raise the question of maintainability.

	D. V. Act is for relief to wife or women. Best for husband to seek child custody or visitation under the Gardians and Wards Act.

Do you think i should try for visitation rights by  using this judgement.

visitation right is minor relief.

The DV act is full of very draconian provisions. You must put your energies to avoid more damage.

There were couple of old discussion in this forum

You may have visited them earlier.

Even I had similar question, though no DV is filed on me yet.

My guess Mr. Laxminarayan and other opinion to follow GWA for relief seems to be legit.

Or you may puruse Intreim order during DV itself.

Plan for small battles to win the war.

Separate the issues.

Best regards

Once i have read a judgement where court said that visitation rights can be granted u/s 151 cpc but know i need it.

i am unable to find that.

can anybody help in finding

Why go for 151 CPC when there is a specific provision under S 21 of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act to get visitation to the father.

Put an application for visitation under S. 21 of PWDVA, 2005.

U/S. 21 of DV Act gives the respondent father right to file application for visitation to child  during pendency of DV case.  Not under Section 151 CPC.  Any how, it is always better to file independent custody suit, which is permanent in nature.
