Can public prosecutor appear in a dv act case

Dear All,


I had applied AB as my wife filed false cases under Sec.498-A and Sec.406. The Assistant Public Prosecutor is appearing on behalf of State of Maharashtra to oppose the AB application.

Now my wife has filed a case in the Metropolitan Magistrate Court under DV Act through a Private Lawyer.

However the private lawyer is not appearing in the hearings of DV Act and the Assistant Public Prosecutor is appearing for arguements.


My question to the learned members is whether a Assistant Public Prosecutor can appear in a private DV Act case if he is not appointed by the State or the court for that particular case as DV is also a criminal case but the proceedings are civil in nature.

Also can Assistant Public Prosecutor have a private practice in Maharashtra.

A quick response will be highly appreciated as I have my DV Act hearing tomorrow.

Thanks & Regards,


Anis
