π’ Breaking Legal Update! π’
The Supreme Court of India has ruled that physical presence is NOT necessary in proceedings under the Domestic Violence Act. This means a party does not need to be personally present as these proceedings are quasi-criminal in nature and have no penal consequences, except in cases of a protection order breach (Section 31 of the Act).
This landmark judgment ensures better access to justice for individuals facing domestic violence cases while staying abroad. πβοΈ
