court under Section 12 of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence
Act, 2005, hereinafter referred as D.V. Act, through protection officer. In

application also sought interim relief of maintenance and residence.

Kunchikurve, hereinafter referred as main respondent, took place on
06.12.2015. Out of said marriage two children, daughter Diya and son
Tanish, born. Main respondent caused various acts of domestic violence
as narrated in the main application. Therefore, she filed main application
and present application for interim reliefs in it.

with applicant. He has no sufficient means of income. He has not caused
any domestic violence. Therefore, application shall be rejected.

3. What order ? ..Appln. is partly allowed
R E A S O N S
5. As stated above, both the parties filed their respective pleadings
which are supported by affidavits. The applicant in addition to it filed on
record certain documents and it is also admitted that applicant is not
residing with the respondent and he has not made any arrangement for her
survival as well as survival of the children residing with her. Against it,
respondents except bare denials by way of their say and affidavit raised
no concrete defence. The contents of the affidavit the copies of other
documents and the fact that no arrangement made clearly leads to prima
facie inference that there caused domestic violence by the respondent.
The conduct of the respondent from whole record also reflects the fact
that respondents taking no care of the day to day requirements of the
applicants. It is submitted that he has no means of income and he loss the
job, is not defence at all. He is bound to maintain the applicants. In such a
situation it is clear that the respondents committed various acts of
domestic violence against the applicants. Therefore, I recorded my
findings on Point Nos. 1 and 2, in the affirmative. Considering the facts
pleaded pertaining to income of main respondent and material on record
in support of it I am of the opinion that following order will serve the
cause of justice, -
ORDER
