Non-Maintainability of Proceedings - Courts have consistently upheld the non-maintainability of petitions under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, in various contexts such as jurisdiction issues, lack of domestic relationship, or procedural grounds. Several cases dismissed petitions on grounds including territorial jurisdiction and absence of a subsisting domestic relationship.

Shyam Babu VS State of Telangana, Rep. by Public Prosecutor - Crimes
Section 12 of the DV Act - Petitions filed under Section 12, which deals with protection orders, are often dismissed if the court finds that the petitioner does not meet the criteria, such as lacking a domestic relationship or territorial jurisdiction. The courts emphasize the importance of establishing a valid domestic relationship for maintainability.

Palani VS Meenakshi - Madras, J. Shyam Babu VS State of Telangana, Rep. by Public Prosecutor - Current Civil Cases, J. Shyam Babu VS State of Telangana, Rep. by Public Prosecutor - Crimes
Domestic Relationship & Jurisdiction - A recurring reason for non-maintainability is the absence of a clear domestic relationship between the parties or the lack of territorial jurisdiction. Courts scrutinize the facts to determine whether the relationship qualifies under the Act. Suraj Devi W/o Late Sardar Mal VS State of Rajasthan - Rajasthan, M. Palani VS Meenakshi - Madras, J. Shyam Babu VS State of Telangana, Rep. by Public Prosecutor - Current Civil Cases, J. Shyam Babu VS State of Telangana, Rep. by Public Prosecutor - Crimes
Specific Cases & Insights - In custody and relationship disputes, courts have rejected petitions based on technicalities or procedural issues, reaffirming that the Act's applicability hinges on establishing a domestic relationship. For example, claims of non-maintainability due to no ongoing domestic relationship have been upheld even after allegations of violence. Selvaraj VS Revathi - Madras, J. Shyam Babu VS State of Telangana, Rep. by Public Prosecutor - Current Civil Cases
Conclusion - The overarching principle is that petitions under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, are maintainable only if the petitioner can establish a valid domestic relationship and the court has jurisdiction. Many petitions are dismissed on procedural or substantive grounds related to non-maintainability, emphasizing the need for proper establishment of facts for the Act's provisions to apply.
