As soon as the defendant gets the summons from court, the defendant is supposed to appear in the concerned court on the date and time mentioned in the summon. But the most surprising fact is that even most of the lawyers are not aware of the fact that the magistrate of the D.V. case has no power to issue an arrest warrant! This is the loophole of D.V. Act. So, only D.V. Act is not enough to get proper matrimonial relief. The victim must file some other cases along with D.V. case. Consult a senior and experienced advocate to proper relief.
