The first Petitioner is the brother in law of one Arumugam, the Second Petitioner is the sister of Arumugam, third Petitioner is the brother of Arumugam and fourth Petitioner is the sister in law of Arumugam. 3. The respondent's daughter Thoranathammal was married to Arumugam in the year 2009. Unfortunately, the said Arumugam and the daughter of the respondent and parents of Arumugam died in a road accident on 19.01.2015. 4. The respondent has now filed a Petition under Section 12 of the Domestic Violence Act against the Petitioners on the ground that they are in possession of the sridhana properties given to the daughter of the respondent at the time of her marriage. 5. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the Petitioners and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent. 6. The Petition that has been filed by the respondent is not maintainable in law. There is no domestic relationship between the parties and admittedly, the Petitioners are living separately and they have nothing to do with the matrimonial life of Arumugam and the respondent's daughter Thoranathammal. The Court below went wrong in taking the Petition on file and ought to have returned the Petition on the ground of maintainability. 7.
