COMMON ORDER

The revision in CRP.No.1028 of 2025 has been filed by the mother-in-

law and sister-in-law of the respondent in both these revisions, seeking to strike off the domestic violence complaint in DVC.No.17/2022 filed by the respondent against the respective petitioners. The revision in CRP.No.2273 of 2025 has been filed by the husband, challenging the orders passed in CMP.No.1567 of 2025 in DVC.No.17/2022, in and by which the Judicial Magistrate has allowed the residential petition filed by the wife.

2. I have heard Mr.P.V.Muralidharan, learned counsel for the petitioner in CRP.No.2273/2025 and MR.N.Palanikumar, learned counsel for the petitioner in CRP.No.1028/2025 and Mrs S. Bhargavi Gopalan, learned counsel for the respondent in both the revisions.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would contend that the respondent, only with a view to harass the petitioners, namely the husband and mother-in-law, has chosen to initiate a domestic violence complaint. According to the petitioners, the allegations in the domestic violence complaint are not even date-specific and are general and very vague, and the learned magistrate ought not to have taken them on file. The petitioners therefore seek for the domestic violence complaint to be struck off.

4. It is also contended by the petitioner that the DVC complaint has been filed with malafide intention to harass the petitioners and there is absolutely no merit in the allegations made in the
