Procedure to defend the complaint of false DV
14-Oct-2023 (In Family Law)
I want to defend a false complaint against me by brother's wife for domestic violence
Well for defending the case, definitely u need to hire a lawyer who would be authorized by u all by signing his power of attorney. Thereafter he will represent you in court. In this case your personal presence in court on each hearing is not required as u are not required to get bail in this case. However in this case maintenance and protection orders Can be passed in favour of applicant.
You have to engage an Advocate in that court to properly defend the case of DV Act. File the seperate written reply by your behalf and on the behalf of other respondents. The provisions of DV Act can't authorised any person to prosecute any female respondents.
