The query is short of material facts.

If you have not attended the counselling session called for by the Social protection officer then the officer would have forwarded the statement given by wife side alone.

However this will not make any impact to the main case that will be conducted  by court after that.

You can challenge the main case on mrerits and documentary evidences in your support

Sir,

But this one sided DIR report may cause problematic for innocent husband

No, this report will not have any adverse effect to the defence of the respondents.

Sir,

But it is the preliminary document which decided whether DV case stand or not.

If DIR is one sided then it will help to the husband to void the case.

Also in my DIR my sister name also shown as share household which is not residing with me.She is living in her separate husband house.
