Approach of Court in Trivial Matters : Supreme Court Lays Down the Legal Principles

Even if a case is filed in a Court on a trivial issue such as maintenance under S.144 of BNSS, 2023 (earlier S. 125 of CrPC, 1973) or S.12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, the first effort required to be made by the Court is to explore mediation instead of calling upon the parties for filing replies as allegations and counter allegations sometimes aggravate the dispute.
