Rahul Bharti, J
The petitioner no. 1 is the wife of respondent no. 1.
The matrimonial equation between the petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 1 seems to have fallen into discord, which resulted in initiation of proceedings by the petitioner no. 1against the respondent no. 1 and his family members under the provision of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 before the Court of Sub-Registrar, Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Srinagar in which vide an order dated 06.06.2023 a direction for accommodation of the petitioner no. 1 along-with her children came to be passed which resulted in the petitioner getting accommodated in one room accommodation in the purported shared household.

The appeal of the petitioner no. 1 joined by her minor children came to be negated in terms of judgment dated 19.12.2023 which is now being questioned.
