You cannot sign the undertaking as the DV case is not disposed of.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 17 February 2024
The DV case is quasi civil and quasi criminal.
Basically it is not punitive in nature hence you can mention that there's no criminal case against you and all those details.
Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 17 February 2024
Yes, Domestic violence case is not in punitive nature but you have to discose the details of case.
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 17 February 2024
DVC is not punitive but most of the allegations attract other provisions of IPC
