Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition, affirming the Additional Sessions Judge's ruling that the application under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 was not maintainable. The Court noted that the appellant's claims of domestic violence and maintenance were inadequately substantiated under the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act, specifically Sections 12 and 18-23. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the lower court's decision.
