Dear Members, for the brief, I have filed a Divorce petition against my wife in mumbai family court since 22 months now. I have filed evidence affidavit and a few applications from oppiosite side are pending. My wife had filed a false D.V case against me and y mother to secure right to residence in the house owned by my mother. I ahve been leagally disowned and have moved out from my parents' house though my 19 year son lives there with his grandparents and my wife has still occupied a portion of the house and refuses to vacate that. My mother has also filed a suit in city civil court against both of us and proceedings are on. Till now, my wife never pursue the Domesticviolence case she filed in the same family court.
Now she has submitted an application in mumbai police headquarters seeking a protection officer to be appointed for her safety as her life is in grave threat. Since my visit my parents' home to meet mys on, there are regular verbally abusive scenes between me and her.
My query is, what can be the result of such application ? I have been told that a Domestic violence is not maintainable in family court and should be filed in magistrate court instead. kindly guide.
