additional sessions judge held that Savita’s claim was maintainable since she had left the matrimonial home on July 4, 2005, and the Act had come into force on October 26, 2006.

 

this means a woman can avail DV act even if the incident had occurred before the enactment of DV act.

rajiv, 

facts of the judgement are different and unique to that particular case.


finding of SC in that judgement is not General

hello,

if they have filed case then fight it on merits and prove that there is hardly any domestic relationship during that time period.

yes she can apply divorce  but law says that both the couple should be separated atleast for one year before applying for divorce.
