What to do if wife has filed Domestic Violence case?

If your wife has filed a case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and also claimed maintenance, you should first appear before the court and file a proper reply denying false allegations with evidence. You may also contest the maintenance amount by showing your actual income and expenses under Section 144 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita 2023. If both parties are willing, the matter can be resolved through mediation or mutual settlement before the court. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
