Petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that she is unable to stay at her matrimonial home with her husband and to that effect has made complaint with the police authorities including the factum of assault being inflicted upon her.

Records of the writ petition also reflect that there are two cases Gosaba Police Station Case No.332 of 2024 and Gosaba Police Station Case No.333 of 2024.

Learned advocate appearing for the private respondent nos.4 to 6 submits that the prayer which was advanced before the learned Magistrate under the relevant provisions of the PWDV Act has been dismissed for default. The jurisdiction for alternate accommodation or residential right is exclusively under the relevant provisions of the law.

State has submitted a report. Report reflects that series of cases have been registered. Last of such case as is reflected was registered on 12th January, 2025 wherein on the complaint of the petitioner and the private respondents, Gosaba Police Station Case No.13 of 2025 and Gosaba Police Station Case No.14 of 2025 have been registered.

Having considered that the petitioner and the private respondents are at loggerhead, police authorities would keep a strict vigil so that there is no breach of the peace and/or tranquility at the locale. So far as the residential right is concerned, the learned jurisdictional Magistrate would consider the same in accordance with law.
