Protection Order (Section 18) - The primary relief under the Domestic Violence Act (DV Act) is the protection order issued under Section 18, which aims to prevent acts of domestic violence and can include provisions such as access to shared household, residence, and restraining orders. These protection orders are the main instrument for safeguarding the victim Vijayakumari vs Jayakumar - Kerala, Vincent Shanthakumar VS Christina Geetha Rani - Karnataka, Vijayakumari vs Jayakumar Jj Nivas - Kerala, VIJAYAKUMARI vs JAYAKUMAR - Kerala.
Section 31 - This section pertains specifically to the breach of protection orders, criminalizing violations and prescribing penalties. It does not encompass other orders like maintenance or residence unless explicitly linked to the protection order breach. Several sources clarify that Section 31 addresses breaches of protection orders but does not extend to breaches of maintenance or access orders unless they are part of the protection order Ganesh Moharana VS Sabitri Moharana - Orissa, S. Amalraj VS State rep. by Inspector of Police - Madras, Surya Prakash VS Rachna - Madhya Pradesh, SUNEESH Vs STATE OF KERALA - Kerala.
Inclusion of Other Orders - While Section 31 primarily deals with breaches of protection orders under Section 18, some interpretations suggest that protection orders can include provisions related to maintenance and access, and breaches of these specific provisions may also fall under Section 31. However, the core focus remains on protection orders rather than other reliefs Vijayakumari vs Jayakumar - Kerala, Surya Prakash VS Rachna - Madhya Pradesh.
Summary - Section 31 of the DV Act is specifically concerned with the breach of protection orders issued under Section 18. It does not explicitly include protection of other reliefs such as maintenance or residence unless these are incorporated within the protection order. The main emphasis is on penalizing violations of protection orders to ensure enforcement and compliance Ganesh Moharana VS Sabitri Moharana - Orissa, S. Amalraj VS State rep. by Inspector of Police - Madras.
