You can file an application under the DV Act before the Magistrate at the District & Sessions Court, Jharsuguda, or approach the local Protection Officer first. Advocate Debarchana Samal handles the paperwork and represents you at every stage.
Is it possible to get an interim order quickly in Jharsuguda?

Can I remain in my shared household in Jharsuguda during proceedings?
Yes. A residence order under the DV Act secures your right to continue living in the shared household in Jharsuguda. The abuser cannot lock you out, remove your belongings, or force a sale without the court's permission.
