Quick Summary

It is mandatory for respondents to file evidence in a Domestic Violence (DV) case. Failing to do so can significantly harm your defence, as the court may rule based solely on the complainant's evidence and arguments. While the burden of proof lies with the complainant, it's vital for respondents to actively rebut allegations with their own evidence to avoid unnecessary risks.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 10 December 2023
If the respondent is not filing his evidence then the court will decide the case on the basis of the complaint, evidence given by the complaint and the counter filed, if any by the respondent and the arguments made by both the sides.
The absence of evidence by respondent may cause a great injury to the respondent.

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 10 December 2023
Although burden to prove allegations made in complaint always lies on complainant and If complainant fails to prove the allegations made in complaint then definitely he will loose the case but respondent should not take any risk and should rebut the allegations made against him by adducing cogent evidence.
