Narasimhan v. Smt. Rohini Devanathan, 2010 Cri.L.J.2173, brother-in-
law was arrayed as one of the Respondents in a Petition under the D.V.
Act. The allegations against the brother-in-law were that when the
Respondent (the wife) approached the Petitioner at Chennai, she was
abused which according to the Petitioner was emotional abuse. The
Karnataka High Court held that as per Sections 2(f) or 2(s) of the D.V.
Act, when the Petitioner and Respondent never stayed together in the
same household, the making of allegations against the shared household
would not amount to domestic violence in the absence of domestic
relationship and shared household as defined under the D.V. Act. The
shared household as envisaged under Section 2(s) of the D.V. Act is a
house where the aggrieved person stayed as a member of the family or a
joint family. It will not include the casual visits of a daughter-in-law to
the house of her father-in-law or brother-in-law.
