#domestic violence Act 2005

Allahabad High Court rules that proceedings under the Domestic Violence Act can continue post-divorce if allegations relate to the period of marriage, dismissing a quashing plea under Section 482 CrPC.

Bombay High Court rules that Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders are protected under the Senior Citizens Act 2007, even when the property is a shared household under the Domestic Violence Act. The Court held that eviction orders must balance the rights of senior citizens with those of daughter-in-law occupants, restoring the Maintenance Tribunal’s order for unrestricted access without eviction.
