I need guidance on expediting my case under Section 498A IPC for domestic violence and understanding


17-Jul-2024 (In Criminal Law)
Hello, I am from Trichy. In 2009, I married Mr. Sakthi Sudhan. After 22 days, he began harassing me due to my family situation. Despite this, I continued our marriage. However, after he completed his doctorate, the harassment intensified. In 2016, I returned to my father's home. In 2017, he sent me a divorce letter (HMOP No: 400/17). Following this, I filed a Domestic Violence Case (DVC No: 64/17, MC No: 31/17). The hearings have been ongoing for the past year. Meanwhile, I am studying BE at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai. Due to the harassment over the past 5 years, it has been difficult to attend classes regularly. My studies are my only means of livelihood. I have questions about how to expedite my case. Please advise. Thank you.

I understand that your query is that how to speed up the case. Since you are from Trichy, approach the High court of Madras at Madurai seeking direction to lower court to complete the case. With regard to DVC also similar procedure. If necessary I can refer somebody to Madurai High Court for completing this exercise.

Only option is file a writ petition before High court to give direction to the court where your petition is pending to expedite the trial and dispose the case. Before moving High court approch your court to dispose it stating your inability to appear regularly and to speed up the case. Your personal appearance is not always required in the court in each and every hearing. Your Advocate can file petition to dispense your appearance. Whenever your presence is required you appear, that is your evidence, otherwise your Advocate can handle it.
