Husband's niece cannot be implicated in domestic violence case: Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court ruled that a husband’s niece cannot be implicated in a domestic violence case filed by the wife. The court observed that the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, is intended to protect women from violence within the household but should not be misused to target individuals who are not directly involved. The case involved allegations of harassment and abuse by the husband and his family members. The court emphasized the need for a fair and just application of the law, ensuring that only those who are genuinely responsible for domestic violence are held accountable. The ruling underscores the importance of protecting the rights of all parties involved in domestic disputes.
