Dear Sir,
Wife left the house of a husband by her own will and came to her parents home without informing her husband
when he was out of home for his job.she left her in jan 08.Husband is living separately from his parents from the date of marriage and his wife visisted the husband's home for a few days.Now she has filed a case of DV ACT TO parents of husband,mother.
AS per definition of domestic violence act and verdicy of the judge is that the order can be passed only against the ‘respondents’ who had been in ‘domestic relationship’ with the ‘aggrieved person’.
can court will consider her case against her in laws in the circumstances when she has left her husband 4 years back willingly and also had been lived with her in laws for a few days before 6 years.
In one of the case it was pleaded by the defence lawyer that
The domestic relationship between the aggrieved person and the respondent must be present and alive at the time when complaint under Domestic Violence Act is filed and if this relationship is not alive on the date when complaint is filed, the domestic relationship cannot be said to be there.
In view of above kindly guide will in laws will come under the purview of having domestic relationship ?
please also eloborate the meaning of domestic relation ship with an example to take suitable steps in the proceeding.
regards
Ramesh
