Immediate reliefs by interim application in dv case

very sad..

DV cases are to be deciced withing 60 days..this has become a great joke..

Dear Nishant if you are from women side , you should file an application under section 23 of Domestic Violence Act, 2005 for ex-party order against respondent.the court have power to pass any order ex-party. see section 23 of DV ACt 23. Power to grant interim and ex parte orders.— (1) In any proceeding before him under this Act, the Magistrate may pass such interim order as he deems just and proper. (2) If the Magistrate is satisfied that an application prima facie discloses that the respondent is committing, or has committed an act of domestic violence or that there is a likelihood that the respondent may commit an act of domestic violence, he may grant an ex parte order on the basis of the affidavit in such form, as may be prescribed, of the aggrieved person under section 18, section 19, section 20, section 21 or, as the case may be, section 22 against the respondent. Comments This section provides for grant of interim orders by the Magistrate. He may also pass ex parte orders on the basis of affidavits given by the aggrieved person. Feel free to call

Already the case is filed and husband doing unnecessary delay to harrass her.

What to do to fasten the process ?

Even if an order is passed u/s 23 of the act, the same is appealable u/s 29 of the act...the husband will appeal u.s 29 and cause further delay...my appeal u.s 29 has not been decided for about 1 yr and 3 months in the sessions court without any decision...good for me and once there is a decision I will immediately move to the HC... There is no way out...

Nishant,

i agree with Nadeem ji, in addition to , if the sitution so serious, u can putup the case much earlier of feb date, on the ground of seriousness, it reqr just after filling the DV CASE, u can inform THE SITUATION  TO, THE PROTECTION OFFICER, SERVICE PROVIDER TO TAKE STEPS , THEN U CAN MOVE THE PUT UP PETITION B4 LD. COURT.Feel free to call me after court hrs.>6.30pm.

Thanks all experts for taking time to answer my query.

Nadeem Ji,  This DV petition was filed in December 10, an affidavit under section 23 was also enclosed with this application, asking for the summary reliefs, with all reliefs sought under different sections (18,19,20,21) namely.

1. To be able to visit the child 

2.Alternate accomdation of equal status

3. cost of fooding, household, medicines, medical examinations, doctors fee, travelling, hospital charges

3. return of all clothese (left at the matrimonial house) plus all utensils, gifts and other items of stri dhan.

4. stopping the husband to dispose off common assets

She has already met protection officer 2-3 times, she looks overburdened and have little time to hear her case, Protection officer is effectively doing filing of DIRs nothing else, whenever she approaches her she has the standard answer that no Judge will look into the merits of the case and pass relief orders.

@Patanaik ji, I could you provide some more details about the procedure you are trying to adopt?

My specific question is that, is there any remedy before her to see her only child, which she has been denied adding the cause to her illness

Dear Forum Members,

Would appreciate if some advise is given for my  following queries

 

1. Do we get additional dates for hearing on interim application other than for the main petition or will it always be heard on the date for main petition

 2......

 3....

4. Is there any remedy in our law that helps in such a scenario.......

Thanks in advance,

Nishant

Dear Forum Experts,

I once again request the experts to kindly look into my last query posted yesterday,

I will be greateful if point s1 and 4 are replied.

Thanks in advance,

Nishant

yes.court can give you earlier date to hear interim application.

The height of stupidity of the DV act is that it would be decided with 60 days from the first hearing . Remember this is india :-).With the no of cases piled up in court the judicary is unable to cope up with it :-) . So the case goes date after date and hence the delay .
