Judgment Analysis - Roop Lal & Ors Vs Manpreet Kaur - Dismissal of DV u/s 482 IPC?

 In a famous PnH HC judgment, Roop Lal & Ors Vs Manpreet Kaur, this matter was looked in detail by Hon'ble Justice Fatte Deep Singh and judgment passed on 5th Nov 2019. In the matter, 14 different quash applications under 482 were combined and dismissed with the reason that power under 482 are to be sparingly used and respondents can run to HC after passing of some judicial order. The mere 'application' by the 'abla nari' and phone calls from the Protection Officer should not worry the husbands.  Observations by the court: 1.

The (DV) Act has tried to concretely deal with the problems of domestic violence from feminist perspect...

DIR in DV case

 What is DIR - Domestic Incident Report? Wife alleges in DV that husband and family beats me, harasses me etc. Sometimes she files the case after 1, 2 or 3 years after staying away from the husband. In such case, wife has burden to prove the delay. Also, wife tries to rope in distant relatives of the husband which is incorrect as wife should have domestic relationship with all the respondents. Without any evidence, without any medical proof, based on only imaginary allegations of the wife, DV case is often registered against the husband. To solve this problem, DIR provision exists in the law. DIR needs to be prepared by the Protection officer. DIR needs to presented before the magistrate before the start of the case. According to the law, magistrate need to first obtain the DIR report and only then, based on this report, the magistrate can pass any order.  What is seen is that in most of the cases, PO do not perform any investigation. PO does not even talk to husband or any ot...
