    Case Summary: MC 37/2020 Court Decision: The petition is allowed in part. The court found that Jasna (petitioner) suffered domestic violence from her husband Dineesh P (first respondent) and awarded her ₹1,00,000 as compensation, ₹20,000 monthly maintenance, and a protection order, while dismissing claims against the second respondent (Dineesh's father). Key Facts: Jasna married Dineesh on 15 December 2019, but within days he spent most time with his friend Shamil, forcing her to work as a domestic servant, pledge her gold ornaments, and endure physical and mental harassment. She filed for domestic violence protection under the 2005 Act, claiming ₹15 lakhs compensation and ₹25,000 monthly maintenance. Court Reasoning: Though Jasna produced no independent witnesses or medical evidence, the court accepted her sole testimony as credible and convincing, relying on precedent that victim testimony suffices under the Act. The court reduced compensation to ₹1,00,000 due to lack of quantifiable damages and fixed maintenance at ₹20,000 monthly (below her ₹25,000 claim) based on the husband's salary and her lack of income.
