Showing contexts for: pwdv act in Khushwant Kaur vs Smt Gagandeep Sidhu on 16 October, 2025Matching Fragments
(i) On the question whether Khushwant Kaur was an "aggrieved person"
entitled to relief under the PWDV Act, the Trial Court found her version unreliable, noting contradictions in her allegations and absence of any contemporaneous complaint against the Respondent. The Court observed that the petition appeared to be a counter-blast to earlier proceedings initiated by the Respondent Gagandeep Sidhu under Section 12 of the DV Act and under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC.
(ii) The Trial Court also held that the Petitioner's reliance on a "disownment notice" of her son Saravjeet Singh was contrived and orchestrated. It emphasized that such notices have no dispositive legal effect on rights under the PWDV Act. The non-impleadment of Saravjeet Singh, despite his central role in the controversy, further undermined the Petitioner's case.
