• Denial by police to file domestic violence case

Hello,

My father has been ill treating my mother since almost more than 40 years which is their marriage stint. Its been last 5 years that I am married and I get my mother at my house as and when my father starts ill treating and mis behaving with her.
Last time my mother was extremely frustrated of these fights and called me to take her away from these fights and hence I got her to stay with me. My father followed us and started presurising her to come along with him and also created nuisance in the building where I stay. I called the local corps but they only denied intervening as they said it is a personal family matter.
I need guidance on the following things.
- how can I legally stop my father's entry into my building
- what else should I do to ensure my mother's safety.

Get in touch with the CAW cell of Police and move a complaint.

Ask your mother to move a written complaint with the CAW Cell of Police. The Police should lodge a FIR and book your father for meeting out violence to your mother.

She also has the option of filing a formal domestic violene complaint in terms of the provisions of the DV Act.

Contact a local lawyer for the above.

Get restraining orders from court to stop him from entering your premises.

File police complaint that your mother's life is in danger due to violent behaviour of your father. If he has tried to hurt her then it is no longer a family issue it is a criminal issue where police should interfere.

Firstly, your mother should seek an injunction against your dad from entering your building premises. This can be filed as an ancillary relief to any of the main reliefs of Divorce, Judicial Separation, RCR etc or it can also be filed as a separate suit. Your mother can also file a case against your father under the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and seek protection orders against her husband in addition to the other reliefs mentioned therein.

1. Ask your mother to file a case under section 498A IPC if she want peace in her life.

2. once FIR under the said section is registered your father would no more run the risk of chasing your mother anymore.

3. Then ask your mother to file case for maintenance under PWDV Act wherein your father would be obliged to give maintenance @ 1/3 to 1/4th of his income along with damages.

4. There is nothing remains in her marriage and hence she should not now spare her husband anymore.

you and your mother can file a simplicitor suit for restraining him to cause harrassment and entereing upon your flat where you are staying with your mother. your mother can also file a case under domestic violence and can even claim compensation in the form of maintenance. no body can force anybody to reside. do call 100 or register complaint in order to create record and evidence of torture and abuse.

1. Police will not intervene in this. To restrain your father from doing anything that will violate your right to live peacefully you have to file a suit for permanent injunction against your father in the civil court. Also seek temporary injunction which can be granted on the first hearing.

2. Once the injunction is granted your mother's safety will be ensured.
