Bar of limitation period under S. 468 CrPC applies only to penal proceedings under S. 31 DV Act: J&K and Ladakh HC
In the present case, the petitioner has wrongly equated filing an application under Section 12 of DV Act to lodging of a complaint or initiation of a prosecution. However, such application cannot be equated with a complaint within the meaning of Section 200 CrPC or Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
