Filing of dv case at 2 different courts.

Friends,

I wish to have some advice on a pecular case, I had filed a divorce petition in 2009 under cruelty at family court. The respondent (wife) has managed to delay the proceeding by putting DV case and asking for relief under section 27. An order was passed on DV and section 27 and the matter is part heard till date.

Now suddenly after 3 years of proceedings at Family court, she goes to magistrate court First Class and files again for DV act and more compensation.

My query is whether it is permitted to run same case at 2 courts and whether there are any means to squash the case put up at First class magistrate court.

Kindly Help.

No it is not permitted, she would need to withdraw the second case.
