Hi my friend filed a DV case and judge has also ordered for the issuance of summons when the in laws came to know about the summons they have removed my friend out of the house also the in laws refused to accept the summons and when she reached to the police station she didn't get help. Should she make an application under section 17 as a right of residence. Now what to do in this case can judge ordered for interim relief. Please help

No need to go to police station as matter is within due process of law and in such circumstances she has to take ex party order and should and get protection orders under Domestic Violence Act. Also there is provision for order for accomodation under the provisions of said law.

DV case includes provision for residence. Normally police do not entertain because it domestic matter but she can give NC and can file FIR against the in laws if they abused and beat her. If they are accepting summons to you can another mood of summons. Interim relief may be granted but due to covid 19 , courts are not functing properly.
