I have a dv case we need to prove petitioner pleading in this but respondent advocate is streessing on fact that DV act is valid in shared household which by definition is
'A ’shared household’ means a household where the woman aggrieved lives or at any stage has lived in a domestic relationship either singly or along with the respondent and includes such a household whether owned or tenanted either jointly by the woman and the respondent or owned or tenanted by either of them in respect of which either the woman or the respondent or both jointly or singly have any right, title, interest or equity and includes such a household which may belong to the joint family of which the respondent is a member, irrespective of whether the respondent or the woman has any right, title or interest in the shared household'
Petitioner and respondent have stayed in his mother owned house for 4 years ( abt 8 months a year whenever his mother was out of station i.e. where his father is working)
Can some one help in trying to understand if shared household wil not be valid in this case ?
