The petitioners sought quashing of the said applications and proceedings arising therefrom. Contention of the petitioners was that they were never in a domestic relationship with the respondent in as much as she never stayed with them in a shared household.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court perused the record and found favour with the contention put forth by the petitioners. Section 2(a) defined the term \u2018aggrieved person\u2019 and Section 2(f) defined \u2018domestic relationship\u2019. Reading both the sections in juxtaposition, the High Court opined that an application under Section 12 can be filed by a women against whom she is in a domestic relationship, i.e., with whom she lives. In the present case, it was clear that the respondent and her husband had stayed in Noida all throughout their wedded life, whereas the respondents were residents in Mohali. Therefore, the domestic relationship was not established between petitioners and the respondent and hence, Section 12 could not be attracted to the case. Accordingly, the impugned application was quashed. [Raghav Agnihotri v.
