Hello,

Yes the same is treated as a continuing offence and therefore you can file the DV case at the place where you are residing right now. Yes you will have to file FIR for both DV case and for the 498A case.

Both the offences are different in nature.

Regards

Yes you can initiate proceeding by staying at your parents place, but before that lodge a detail complaint of everything that has happened with you. Send the same complaint by way of speed post and mention to register FIR under section 498A and 406.

Then file DV for protection and maintenance.

498A - Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty.—Whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband of a woman, subjects such woman to cruelty shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine.

Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior which involves violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation.

As per ection 27 in The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005

27. Jurisdiction.—

(1) The court of Judicial Magistrate of the first class or the Metropolitan Magistrate, as the case may be, within the local limits of which—

(a) the person aggrieved permanently or temporarily resides or carries on business or is employed; or

(b) the respondent resides or carries on business or is employed; or

(c) the cause of action has arisen, shall be the competent court to grant a protection order and other orders under this Act and to try offences under this Act.

Hence you can file case from where you are residing in parents home. 498A is dowry harassment case and domestic violence is filed for violence cause on you. 498A police will take action domestic violence you need to fIle petition.

As per section 27 of the PWDV Act,2005 itself the petitioner who is aggrieved to seek the reliefs under the Act resides can file the the case from the place where she is presently residing.

So In indore there is no difficulty in filing the case.

However of the case is under 498A IPC then I would advise you to file at your matrimonial home unless tortures were done to you at Indore also.

If the police does not register FIR tou can get this done through the court by filing a petition under section 156(3) crpc.

To register it in indore make the FIR through speed post and yes you can initiate all cases from your parents place

If dowry harassment is also caused in indore you can file 498A at indore only. With respect to DV you can file it from your parents home. With respect to proceedings under 498A the police will call both parties for counselling later if it's not settled they will file FIR you need not be present before court at every date of hearing.

However the criminal complaint under section 498a can be lodged in the place of the incident.

The Udaipur police has to register the complaint under section 498a.

You need not attend court for each and every hearing date.

Dear Madam,

FIR even if registered at Indore it will be again transferred to Udaipur where actual incident took place and witnesses are available. However you can maintain your case under provisions of DV Act at Indore. Be informed that you need not visit police station at Udaipur every time, You need to attend Court at one time to give your evidence.

It appears from your query that instances of cruelty to with you have taken place at Udaipur, therefore, it would be appropriate to lodge FIR/ Complaint of the 498-A at Udaipur as the cause of action and incidences of cruelty has taken place at Udaipur. the proceeding under the DV act is independent than that of 498-A, DV proceeding can file at the place where you are currently residing i.e at Indore. While filing a proceeding under DV act though it is not mandatory to file FIR but it is good if we have done that. If Udaipur police register the case then you have to do nothing just wait for the summons of the court for giving the statement.Once the police take cognizance of your complaint, you become a witness and you are not required to attend the court every time. it is only when you receive a summons from the court you would be required to attend the court to give a statement. You make lodge a complaint of 498-A at Indore but as per law, it has to be lodged at the place where the cruelty has taken place else Indore court would not have jurisdiction to try the case ultimately it will be transferred to Udaipur Court.

Yes you can file the DV case from your parents place.

Yes DV case and 498a is totally different.

You need to lodge FIR for 498a not for DV.

Complain to women empowerment cell if police don`t register ur complain and also to SP.

Nither need to attend court every time. Dont worry.

498A case can be filed in Indore, since the offence is treated to be a continuing offence in nature and therefore you may lodge a complaint before the Indore police station also.

The difference between 498a and DV case is that, section 498a penalises any form of cruelty upon the wife which is linked to demand of dowry. In a DV case, it is not always necessary that the domestic violence must have a dowry angle attached to it. Any degree of violence which the wife faces in a domestic household can be reported in a DV case.

To institute a 498a case, you need to lodge a FIR.

Yes you can file DV case from your parents house. DV and 498A is different. DV is for domestic violence. 498A is cruelty by husband or relatives of husband. There is a FIR in 498A and domestic incident report in DV cases.
