I fully agree with "Fighting for my Brother"

The Kerala High Court had stated in a case that in a proceeding initiated under the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act, the strict rule of evidence are not attracted. This means that the evidences need not be proved to the hilt.

Documents relied upon by women for claiming compensation under domestic violence law before magistrate courts need not be examined strictly by courts as is done in criminal cases.

The evidences that can be given from the side of wife in a DV case may include the police report, the medical report or report of the violent behavior of the husband and the like. The letter by the woman to the police station cannot be evidence enough in a DV case. Other evidences also need to be given to substantiate the claim of the wife.

 

You should consult an expert in this regard. You can call me at 09555 507 507 or send me a mail at info@lawkonect.com
