Bare act

Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005

The notice and application are built from the Act itself. The Act still speaks of Metropolitan Magistrates; the BNSS no longer creates that class, so the drafts are addressed to the Judicial Magistrate First Class.

The sections below are the ones the LL.B. papers examine on this Act, with the unit that covers each and the cases decided on it. The official text is on India Code ↗.
