domestic violence act

Dear Sir,

I got the notice from my wife under protection from Domestic Violence Act 2005 section 12, 14, 19, 20, 22 & 23 and directed to be present in front of Honorable Court in November 2020. Can any lawyersclub member help me to understand the above said section & can I represent my case himself in front Honorable Court?

Thank You

Notice stated to have been issued by your wife under section 12, 14, 19, 20, 22 & 23 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 can be ignored as she may or may not be aggrieved person..

It is the Court to issue notice to respondent(s) which is to be attended in person or through lawyer..

It would be better to seek service of a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts./ documents, professional guidance and necessary proceeding

1.  You have option to represent yourself in Court, WHENEVER the Court sends proper summons to you.

2. However, in such matters it is advisable to represent yourself thru an experienced lawyer.

Thank You Sir

You need to respond only when summons is received from the Court. Mere intimation from the complainant is of no consequence.

You can appear in person; but appearing in person and presenting the case is highly challenging.

Though you can appear in person, it would be advantageous for you to engage a competent Lawyer to represent you.
