Thanks,

My lawyer says since charges are not framed in DV, magistrate will reject application on this ground.

There are only 2 privisions CrPC 239 and 227 am I correct?

sir u said in ur q RESPONDENT

it is used in DV cases and DV cases are summsry trials so application of discharge.

if it is 498 a then u are accused not respondent. charges will be framed first.

DV Act covers under civil action/Law because it doesn't provide punishment.

its main purpose is to provide maintenance to the wife and to stop harassment to her with regard to domestic affairs.

so u may file an application under order 1 rule 10 of cpc (addition and sustitution of parties) if cpc is applicable on dvact otherwise u may file simle application without mentioning the above said order of cpc.

@ S pathak
It is DV, what I meant to say was that my lawyer says since charges are not framed in DV section 239 and 227 of CrPC are not applicable.

no charges are framed in dv sir. its a summary trial. you have every right to say with proof about ur side. u can move an application with facts to drop proceedings against you on merits.
