The High Court has rightly found in effect that the
ingredients of domestic violence are wholly absent in this
case. The petitioner and the respondents are not persons
living together in a shared household. There is a vague
allegation that the respondents are family members. There
is not a whisper of the respondents with the petitioner.
They appear to be neighbours.
The special leave petition is dismissed.
