What can I do if any court in pwdv case passes any order if it has no jurisdiction?
If a court passes an order in a Protection of Women from Domestic Violence (PWDV) case without having jurisdiction, you can challenge the order by filing an objection or appeal.
1. File an Appeal: You can appeal against the order in a higher court, arguing that the court that issued the order lacked jurisdiction.
2. File a Writ Petition: You may approach the High Court under Article 226 or 227 of the Constitution of India for a writ of certion rari to quash the order.
3. Raise Jurisdictional Objection: If the case is still ongoing, you can file an application before the same court challenging its jurisdiction.
