The petitioner is a Police Sub-Inspector, drawing monthly salary more than Rs.60,000/-. After having gone through the orders impugned herein, this Court finds it to be no case even to issue notice of this proceeding. Needless to mention, a divorced wife is also entitled to prefer an application under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 claiming monetary relief.

Since no case is made out for issuance of notice, present criminal writ petition stands dismissed.
