Kamini Vs. Ankit Kumar & others), pending in the court of Learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Additional Civil Judge (J.D.), Court No.06, Ghaziabad. 3. Learned State Law Officer has raised a preliminary objection regarding maintainability of the present proceeding on the ground that the order passed on 04.07.2025 under Section 23 of the Domestic Violence Act, 2005 is amenable to an appeal under Section 29 of the D.V. Act. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant could not dispute the said fact, but he submits that the appeal would be barred by limitation. 5.

Ankit Kumar .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s)
opinion that since a remedy lies of an appeal under Section 29 of the D.V. Act, thus this Court is not inclined to interfere in the present proceedings. However, liberty is accorded to the applicant to prefer an appeal before the forum as provided under Section 29 of the D.V. Act. 7. In the opinion of the Court, once an appeal is preferred taking all the grounds, which are permissible for condonation of delay, then this Court has no reason to disbelieve, that the same shall be decided with most expedition strictly in accordance with the law of the land. 8. With the above observations, the application stands disposed of.
