    The Judicial Magistrate Court in Vandavasi found the husband guilty of willfully disobeying a domestic violence court order dated 21.07.2025 that directed him to pay maintenance (₹4,000/month to wife, ₹3,000/month for daughter), provide residential relief (₹3,000/month), pay compensation (₹5,00,000), and return dowry articles. The court rejected his defense of pending appeal and partial payment, holding that mere readiness without actual compliance constitutes deliberate non-compliance. He was sentenced to 1 year simple imprisonment and ₹2,000 fine under Section 31 of the Domestic Violence Act 2005.
