Copy of Judgment

Summary: The Judicial Magistrate Court at Katpadi partially allowed a domestic violence petition filed by Asha against her ex-husband Arul under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The court rejected her claim for Rs. 40 lakh compensation related to property sale proceeds, holding that property disputes cannot be converted into domestic violence cases and must be resolved through civil courts. However, the court granted her maintenance of Rs. 5,000 per month from the filing date and directed return of her personal belongings (cell phone and camera lens), recognizing her entitlement to post-divorce maintenance as she remains unmarried and unable to support herself. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
