Case Summary: Kavita Gopal Gunjkar v. Ashok Sakharam Gunjkar (PWDVA 13/2023) The court found the applicant (22-year-old widow) proved domestic violence by her in-laws through unchallenged testimony, including insults about her appearance, post-husband's death demands for ₹2,00,000, and forced removal of her daughter. The court partly allowed the application, granting a protection order and awarding monthly maintenance of ₹3,500 (₹2,500 for applicant, ₹1,000 for minor daughter) from the application date, but rejected claims for ₹10 lakh compensation, residence in the joint family home, and property alienation allegations due to insufficient evidence.
