Dear client,
In India, where both Karnal and Dehradun are located, the laws allow for filing divorce and domestic violence cases in the appropriate jurisdiction. For divorce, jurisdiction is typically based on where the couple last resided together or where the marriage was solemnized. If both of you have been living together in Karnal, it might be the appropriate jurisdiction for filing a divorce case. Regarding the domestic violence case under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Domestic Violence Act (DVA), the victim can file a complaint in the area where the offense took place or where she's currently residing. If she's experiencing domestic violence in Karnal, she can file a complaint there.
To file a domestic violence case (under the Domestic Violence Act) or a case under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code from a different location (such as Dehradun), she doesn't necessarily need to permanently leave the house in Karnal. However, she might need to provide evidence or documentation to support her case and show that she is currently residing or facing the issues in Dehradun. It's essential to understand that legal proceedings require evidence to substantiate claims. If she claims domestic violence or harassment in Dehradun, she might need to provide proof or documentation to support her case, such as medical reports, witness statements, photographs, or any other relevant evidence. As for filing the case itself, it can be done from the place where the offense occurred or where the victim currently resides.
Section 107 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with the offense of abetment of a thing. It involves instigating, engaging, or aiding someone to do something illegal. It is often used in cases where someone is alleged to have instigated another person to commit an offense. If your wife is planning to file a case under Section 107 IPC against you in Karnal, it's crucial to understand the specific allegations she might make and gather evidence to defend yourself. Consulting with a lawyer who specializes in criminal law in India would be highly advisable in this situation. You can reach out to us for further assistance
