Application Under Section 12 Of Domestic Violence Act Not Barred By Limitation Under Section 468 CrPC: Karnataka High Court
The Karnataka High Court has ruled that an application filed under Section 12 of the Domestic Violence Act is not barred by the Criminal Procedure Code's section 468 term of limitation.
Justice KS Mudagal presided over a single bench "Section 468 of the Cr.P.C. is inapplicable because the application under Section 12 of the DV Act is not protected by the word "offence." As a result, applying Section 468 of the Cr.P.C. to an application made under Section 12 of the DV Act is obviously incorrect."
