The respondent has looked after the petitioner like a slave or a bonded labourer and have manhandled the petitioner by beating her. There are two children, one male and another female. The above named petitioner further submits that the respondent is ill-treating her. On 14-02- 2014 at about 9.00 p.m., the respondent came to the house and started quarrelling, scolded the petitioner and threatened her. He also forced the petitioner to get register her properties registered in the respondent’s name otherwise he will kill the petitioner. The respondent assaulted the petitioner on the back, stomach by hands and kicked the petitioner and caused bleeding injuries. While the petitioner was taking rest the respondent has also stolen money, gold weighing about 350 gms, silver ornaments, which were given by the petitioner’s parents to the petitioner. The respondent has also stolen important property documents. It is very difficult to live with the respondent. The above named petitioner further submits that on 15-02-2014 in the morning the petitioner noticed that the above articles and documents along with cash was stolen by the respondent. Immediately the petitioner went to the police and has informed the same to the Mahalakshmi layout around and informed the same to the Sub-Inspector of police, but the police did not give any protection to the petitioner on the other hand the police supported the respondent and they have registered an NCR and given acknowledgement. As there was bodily pain the petitioner has taken treatment in the KCG hospital. As the jurisdictional police colluded with the respondent, the petitioner has given a complaint to the Commissioner of police, Bangalore on 22-02-2014. The above named petitioner further submits that from the date of marriage, the respondent has treated the petitioner like a stranger and the respondent is not showing any love and affection towards the petitioner. The respondent is in the habit of going to other women. Recently he was in the company of one Smt. Sharadamma. The petitioner has suffered all cruelties at the hands of the respondent. The petitioner has been treated like a salve and maid servant. The respondent has physically and mentally assaulted the petitioner. The respondent has thrown the moral respects of women to wounds and have thus committed serious domestic violence against the petitioner. The above named petitioner further submits that the respondent is leading a very luxurious life having properties, he his own business and also a commission agent in the RMC yard. The respondent is earning heavily in his business. But this petitioner is struggling to lead the life paying loan to banks and private financiers. The above named petitioner submits that, the respondent is duty bound to maintain the petitioner. The petitioner is entitled to live in the same standards as the respondent is living, she needs a sum of Rs.50,000/- p.m. The respondent is capable of paying the maintenance sought for as he is having huge income in the business and the property, thus the maintenance sought for by the petitioner is very meager. The respondent who is a dutiful husband and it is his bounded duty to look after the petitioner. Wherefore the above named petitioner prays that, this Hon’ble Court be pleased to (a) pass an order directing the respondent to pay the petitioner maintenance of Rs.50,000/- p.m. (b) Direct the respondent to pay compensation to the petitioner in a sum of Rs.25,00,000/- (c) Direct the respondent for a separate residence and (d) Award the costs of this petition and the grant of such other relief/s as this Hon’ble Court deems fit to grant under the facts and circumstances of the case, in the interest of justice.

12. On perusal of these depositions it is clear that relationship between the petitioner and respondent is not in dispute. The petitioners have failed to prove the respondent has harassed her. However no specific allegations are being made against the respondents so as to prove the act of Domestic Violence. Mere allegations which are not specific and which are vague in nature cannot be accepted as proof of Domestic Violence.

13. The petitioner in her cross-examination she has admitted that properties mentioned in Ex.R.1 and Ex.R.2 were purchased by respondent and the same were transferred to the name of petitioner. Out of the said rented houses about Rs.60,000/- to Rs.70,000/- p.m. rents are received by the said petitioner. The petitioner and her son are living together in the house purchased by the respondent and the same is transferred in the name of petitioner. The entire expenses of marriage of daughter born to petitioner and respondent is borne by the respondent. The petitioner further admits that her son is working as an auditor and herself and her son are living together in the house purchased by the respondent and transferred in the name of the petitioner. The petitioner refuses to give one house out of three houses purchased by the respondent in her and her son’s name. On analyzing this version of the petitioner, it shows that petitioner is in well settled position and has approached this court against the respondent to harass the said respondent for no reasons.

14. When such being the case, the infliction of domestic violence made against the respondents gets diluted and same cannot be accepted. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 is beneficiary legislation and is intended to protect the interest of wife. In order to claim any relief under the said Act, must satisfy and prove before this Court that she is an aggrieved woman U/s.2(a) of the said Act and she has been subjected to domestic violence as defined U/s.3 of Domestic violence Act. Hence on perusal of the evidence of P.W.1 it establishes that except the vague allegations made against the respondent the petitioner has not proved her case of domestic violence against him.

15. The petitioner has sought for monetary relief of an amount of Rs.25,00,000/- as compensation and Rs.50,000/- per month as maintenance. Since, the act of Domestic violence is not specifically proved before the Court, granting of monetary relief would be inappropriate. Hence, the said relief is liable to be declined. Hence, I answer Point No.1 IN THE NEGATIVE.

16. POINT No.2: In view of the materials placed before this court, pleadings, depositions and documentary evidence, this court proceeds to pass the following:

ORDER The petition filed by the petitioner U/s.12 of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, is hereby dismissed.
No order as to costs.
Office is directed to furnish copy of this order to both the parties at free of cost.
