her daughter and presently living at her parents house.
Respondent No.1 is serving, so also, act as Estate Agent and
earning `.40,000/ p.m. She stated that, she is in need of

accommodation, protection order, so also, prayed for access of

They treated her well and taken care of her. He made the best
efforts for cohabitation, but of no use. They have not
subjected applicant to cruelty and not drove her out of house.
He stated that, allegations made by applicant are false.
Further he submitted that, he is doing Karate training and
monthly income is not more than `.5,000/ p.m. his mother
are old depends upon him. Applicant is doing job in garment
company and earning `.15,000/ p.m., lastly prayed to reject
the application.
6. If considered the submissions made by Ld. counsels
for both the parties, allegations levelled against each others
and not disputed facts, unless there is domestic violence at the
hands of respondents, there was no reason to applicant to
reside at her parents house. It is fact that, applicant is
residing separately from respondent primafacie this shows
domestic violence at the hands of respondent otherwise there
was no reason for married woman to reside separetly from
husband unless there is domestic violence. Primafacie there
exists domestic violence at the hands of respondents.
7. If considered source of respondent No.1 and his
obligation of respondent No. 1 to maintain his wife
irrespective the fact as to whether she is earing or not by
virtue of obligation it is boundant duty to maintain his wife
i.e. applicant. It is submitted by applicant that, respondent is

earning `.40,000/ p.m., same is denied by the respondent
No.1, stated that, is doing Karate training and monthly
income is not more than `.5,000/ p.m., but nothing in that
regard is on record. If read section 106 of Indian Evidence
Act, respondent has to disclose the facts which are within his
knowledge. Though he disclosed but the same is not
believable, therefore, not accepted. If considered prayer of
applicant and the fact that respondent is maintaining his
family and he is under obligation to maintain his wife, I am of
view that, applicant is in need of maintenance, question raised
to what extent. If considered source of income of respondent
No.1, requirements and needs of applicant and her daughter
amount of `.10,000/ p.m. is sufficient for their maintenance.
8. So far as relief with regard to residence, it appears
that, applicant at present residing at her parents house,
therefore prayer for same cannot be granted. Further,
respondents are required to restrain creating any kind of
domestic violence in future to applicant at the place, where
she resides or work. Accordingly, I pass following order.
