In a case, a mother-in-law alleged her daughter-in-law pressured her son to live with her parents and, upon refusal, began abusing the complainant, culminating on June 30, 2024, when jewelry and cash were forcibly taken. The daughter-in-law argued malafide intent that a mother-in-law cannot file under Section 12 of the DV Act. The trial court held the complaint disclosed prima facie domestic violence at the summoning stage, rejecting narrow view of “aggrieved person.” The High Court dismissed the Section 482 CrPC challenge, upholding the September 13, 2024 summons, and affirmed that any woman in a domestic relationship may seek relief.
