WOW - A
DRIVER in a shared household  was removed from arrayed respondent list after the intervention of Madras HC ! I mean what was Trial Court doing during admission hearing? It shows Magistrates at trail Court level do not read Complaint filed under DV Act instead they get carried after watching mujara by a sari, sindoor and glycerin clad abala nari.

So it will not be too late to say that Milkman / Paper Vendor / Dhobi / Veggie vendor of a SHARED HOUSEHOLD will not get roped in under Dream Violence Act, 2005 by today's metro wives and then some other HC will sit on it to quash such name(s).

What a better utilization of precious time of HC’s we have come to!

Also hats of to the ingenious Advocate who drafted it and managed to get the complaint admitted.

That proves what I said 2 years back here in LCI, that time is not far when all these people names gets arrayed under Bharat Ratna DV Act.
