Legality of DIR(Domestic incident report) In DV Act 2005

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

You can oppose the Domestic Incident Report (DIR) filed by the concerned Protection Officer and point out all the factual mistakes in the Report by giving evidence from your side. You can also bring the correct factual position (such as that your wife stayed with you in a rented accommodation) along with relevant proof to the knowledge Magistrate. The Magistrate is required to give you an opportunity of being heard and follow the principles of natural justice in this regard. So, you should be getting an opportunity to point out the defects in the DIR.
