The said application was partly allowed by the Judicial Magistrate directing Omprakash (husband) to pay an amount of maintenance and rent to his wife, whereas the return of <em>Stridhan<\/em> and household articles was rejected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the above decision, both the wife and husband were aggrieved and hence filed appeals before the Sessions Court. Sessions Court had partly allowed the appeal of the wife by enhancing the monthly maintenance and additionally the husband was directed to pay an amount of Rs 50,000 to his wife towards compensation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Appeal filed by the husband was dismissed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aggrieved by the judgment, present petitions were filed in which the Court issued notices.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><u>Analysis, Law and Decision<\/u><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>Limitation<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the instant matter, Court stated that it is concerned with the complaint filed by the wife under Section 12 and other provisions of the D.V. Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The wife claimed that she was harassed and abused and that she also suffered economic abuse at the hands of the husband and his relatives. Further, she added that she was subjected to \u201cdomestic violence\u201d as defined under Section 3 of the D.V. Act, hence sought redressal for such abuse and claimed return of articles gifted to her by her parents and other relatives.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u201c\u2026concept of continuing cause of action and continuing offence needs to be appreciated from the point of view of the aggrieved person i.e. wife.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>In the case of <em>Krishna Bhattacharjee v.
