KARAN SINGH vs KAVITA — Crl.A. No. 882/2012

Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 882/2012 (Karan Singh v. Kavita) On 2 July 2012, the Supreme Court heard Karan Singh's appeal against a High Court order upholding a Trial Court's domestic violence decision under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The Trial Court had directed that the wife be allowed to live in the matrimonial home and receive Rs. 3,000/month maintenance. The Supreme Court partially allowed the appeal: it set aside the direction permitting the wife to reside in the house (finding the petitioner claimed ownership belonged to his mother, not his son), but continued the maintenance payment obligation. The Court remitted the matter to the Trial Court to decide all issues—including property ownership and domestic violence claims—on merits within six months, without being influenced by prior observations.
