Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I file a DV Act complaint in Koraput?
A domestic violence application can be filed before the Magistrate at the District & Sessions Court, Koraput, or reported to the local Protection Officer. Advocate Debarchana Samal prepares the application and represents you at hearings, including remotely where required.
Can I get urgent protection in Koraput if I am in immediate danger?
Yes. The court in Koraput can pass an ex-parte interim protection order the same day an urgent application is moved, restraining the abuser from contact or violence, before a full hearing takes place with both parties present.
Do I lose my right to my matrimonial home in Koraput if I file a DV case?
No. Filing a DV case does not remove your right to reside in the shared household in Koraput. A residence order specifically protects you from being evicted, and the abuser can be restrained from entering certain parts of the house.
Are tribal and rural victims in Koraput district covered under the DV Act?
Yes. The DV Act applies uniformly across Koraput district, including its tribal and rural areas. Any woman in a domestic relationship, regardless of location, can approach the Protection Officer or file directly before the Koraput Magistrate Court.
