These matters involve some of the most personal and difficult disputes a family can face. We represent both complainants seeking protection and those who've been accused.
The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act gives women facing abuse within a domestic relationship access to protection orders, residence rights, and maintenance. Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (now reflected under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) separately criminalises cruelty by a husband or his relatives. Advocate Indrajit Dongre represents complainants seeking protection under these provisions, as well as individuals who have been named in a complaint and need a considered defense.
