Hi All,
I am a respondent in a Domestic Violence Case instituted by my wife in an another state and since the past 2 years the matter has progressed and only frivolous applications which are being filed by my wife one after the another are being decided by the magistrate causing grave hardship and harassment to me.
Even though Section 12 (5) of the DV Act stipulates that "The Magistrate shall endeavour to dispose of every application made under sub-section (1) within a period of sixty days from the date of its first hearing. tc "(5) The Magistrate shall endeavour to dispose of every application made under sub-section (1) within a period of sixty days from the date of its first hearing."
What are the options available to at this stage?
What can I do to see that the matter is decided expeditiously without any further delay?
Are there any judgements of the SC or HC on this subject matter?
Awaiting your kind response.
Vijay.
