Summary
The Domestic Violence Act allows filing a case based on the location of the aggrieved person, respondent, or where the incident occurred. An aggrieved person is any woman in a domestic relationship subjected to violence. A Domestic Incident Report (DIR) is not mandatory for filing a petition under Section 12, but it can support the case. The DIR is filed by a Protection Officer or service provider. Bare Acts in Gujarati, including the Indian Evidence Act, can be accessed online or at legal bookstores.
