Dont you have a advocate?  You are behaving very childish.  When wife has already got Residence and Protection orders from court, its time to consult advocate locally.  Not obeying court order will attract warrant and non bailable warrant respectively.  Dont get caught, secure anticipatory bail for yourself and your mom.  Next thing is you go appeal in High Court against the order which your wife got.  DV case is dangerous.  Dont take it lightly.

Now you have to be serious . Police can enforce the order . If protection order is violated than proceedings are criminal u/s 31 of DV act .

Central Government Act
Section 31 in The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005
31. Penalty for breach of protection order by respondent.—
(1) A breach of protection order, or of an interim protection order, by the respondent shall be an offence under this Act and shall be punishable with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine which may extend to twenty thousand rupees, or with both.
(2) The offence under sub-section (1) shall as far as practicable be tried by the Magistrate who had passed the order, the breach of which has been alleged to have been caused by the accused.
(3) While framing charges under sub-section (1), the Magistrates may also frame charges under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (45 of 1860) or any other provision of that Code or the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (28 of 1961), as the case may be, if the facts disclose the commission of an offence under those provisions.
 
you could have offered to pay her rental accomodation while the DV trial was on .
If you are unhappy with the order than proceed to higher court and you need to consult an advocate for this .

Change your address.  And file appeal from new address.  Henceforth reply, apply, appeal, re-appeal only from new address, not from your moms house address.  Anyway this case will run for anotehr decade, best is wait till lovely wife come for settlement.  Throw money and take divorce from her.  Marriage calls for decorum, not police and court.

 You have sufficiently been advised.

The courts gets its orders complied thru state, police.

You are inviting trouble for yourself and family that is involved in case, that you may not be able to manage, later easily.

Instead of leading towards more troubles, discuss with your own able and senior counsel specializing in family/civil matters at your own location. 

Your counsel after examining everything that has transpired so far, shall do the needful to undo the damage that you might have already done.

VINEET IS PERFACTLY RIGHT. THIS IS RIGHT WAY TO TEACYH LESION TO SUCH WOMAN. AFTER ALL MARRIAGE IS A MATTER OF MUTUAL UNDERSTANDIGN AND ADJUTMENT AND, TO SOEM EXTENT. SACRIFICE.
