Section 2(a) of the impugned Act

Impugned Provision / other anomaly
Breach of Section / Article
Section 2(a) of the impugned Act
Public Policy of India



Section 2(a) "aggrieved person"

means any woman who is, or has been, in a domestic relationship with the respondent and who alleges to have been subjected to any act of domestic violence by the respondent.

The Argument

1.      The impugned Act is against the public Policy of India, for, the impugned Act does not provide for any limitation for instituting the case under the impugned Act.

2.      Ordinarily, every civil action is subjected to law of limitations. The laws of limitation are founded on sound policy that a person cannot be subjected to litigation at the whims and fancies of the other party.

3.      The doctrine of limitation is based on broad consideration, in the words of Abbott, CJ, in the case of Battley versus Faulkner, “the Statutes of limitation was intended for relief and quiet of the defendant and to prevent persons from being harassed at a distant point of time, after the committing of the injury complained of.” Also when the evidence are lost by defendant with the passage of time, at the benefit of the Plaintiff. The idea is that every legal remedy must be kept alive for legislatively fixed period of time.

4.      The aggrieved person includes a woman who in the past has been in a domestic relationship with the Respondent. Therefore, a Woman is entitled to file a case of “domestic violence” against her ex-husband and /or against his ex-relatives, notwithstanding they may have divorced.

Leading Evidence during trial

1.       In case where the accused refused to plead guilty of the offence to which he is charged with, and claims to be tried, the Court calls upon the Prosecution / Complainant to lead all the evidences he has in support of his case. 2.       In criminal trial, the evidence are required to be led by the complainant and / or their witnesses by stepping into the witness box and illustrating / demonstrating to what they have witnessed. The Complainant is to examine before the Court, himself, and all other witnesses, who are “witness” to the crime, which is alleged to have been committed by the accused named in the complaint. This examination of himself and other prosecution witnesses is called “Examination – in – Chief. 3.       Giving evidence of facts is critical to any trial, be it civil trial or criminal trial.
