    LANDMARK CASES:

    1. A. Ashok Vardhan Reddy And Others vs Smt. P. Savitha And Another on29
    Febraury, 2012
    On 27-08-2005, Saritha was married to the first defendant, and on the same day, the
    first defendant and Savitha left for the United States of America, as Savitha had to
    register on 29-08-2005 at West Virginia University. The first accused, soon after
    arriving in the United States of America, requested money from Savitha and took 35
    tulas of gold from her. Saritha submitted a complaint to the police at West Virginia
    University and asked her father to submit a complaint to the Indian police. The case
    was classified under Section 498 A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of
    the Dowry Prohibition Act as Crime No. 1098 of 2006 and has been prosecuted. On
    20-12-2007, the 2nd and 3rd defendants surrendered before the court and were
    released on bail, while the first defendant absconded. In the domestic violence case,
    Saritha, the 2nd respondent in criminal petition No. 2539 of 2009, sought for
    protection orders, return of ‘Stridhana’, monetary relief, compensation, damages and
    other appropriate reliefs under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act,
    2005 against the petitioners in the Criminal Petition No. 2539 of 2009.

    2.Mohit Yadam vs State of AP

    The accusation against the respondents is that the petitioner No.1 was ill-
    treated and humiliated by the respondents from the beginning of the marriage life, asking to
    carry more money from her parents and even in Australia, both respondents harassed her
    physically and mentally and hence the petitioner No.1 and her child fled the house and
    approached the Australian police. Subsequently, on 16.12.2008, the petitioners lodged a
    petition with the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Mancherial pursuant to Section 12 of the
    Domestic Violence Act , 2005 to grant such reliefs as referred to therein, which was taken up
    as D.V.C. NO.163 of2008. Similarly , it is possible to state the brief details required for the
    disposal of Criminal Petition No.7978 of2009 as follows: Petitioner no. 1 is wife of
    respondent no.1; respondents 2 and 3are parents, and respondents 4 and 5 are elder brothers,
    of respondent no.1; respondent no.6 is the wife, and respondent no.7 is the sister, of
    respondent no.1; and respondent no.8 is husband of respondent no.7. It is alleged that,
    marriage of petitioner no.1 with the respondent no.1 took place at Gattavari Kalyana
    Mandapam, Kanyaka Parameswari Devasthanam, Tenali according to Hindu rites and
    customs.1 Without taking any dowry or cash, petitioner No.1 married respondent No.1. They
    lived peacefully for a brief time and subsequently, at the instigation of respondents 2 to 8,
    respondent No.1 used to harass petitioner No.1 in vulgar language and subjected her to
    cruelty seeking additional dowry. In addition, respondent No. 1 was addicted to vices and
    used to come home late at night, and the petitioners were not supplied with food by all
    respondents. All the respondents devised a scheme and tried to kill her by releasing gas, and
    respondent No.1 tried to kill her by pressing her neck in a drunken state. The participants did
    not heed the advice provided by the elders. The respondents did not alter their mood, even
    after family therapy. Consequently, the petitioners lodged a complaint pursuant to Section 12
    of the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, and D.V.C. No.10 of 2009 was also on paper.
