    CASE SUMMARY: The High Court of Bombay dismissed Suresh Rughani's revision application as not maintainable. Rughani had challenged a magistrate's order rejecting his discharge application in domestic violence proceedings filed by Kirti Rughani under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The court held that revision under Section 397-401 CrPC cannot be used for DV Act proceedings, which are predominantly civil in nature. However, the court permitted Rughani to pursue relief under Section 482 CrPC (inherent powers) if appropriate circumstances exist for preventing abuse of process. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
