Supreme Court on 498 A Sushil Kumar Sharma Vs Union of India and Ors ( Writ Petition (civil) 141 of 2005 ) “The object of the provision is prevention of the dowry meance. But as has been rightly contended by the petitioner many instances have come to light where the complaints are not bonafide and have filed with obligue motive. In such cases acquittal of the accused does not in all cases wipe out the ignomy suffered during and prior to trial. Sometimes adverse media coverage adds to the misery. The question, therefore, is what remedial measures can be taken to prevent abuse of the well-intentioned provision. Merely because the provision is constitutional and intra vires, does not give a licence to unscrupulous persons to wreck personal vendetta or unleash harassment. It may, therefore, become necessary for the legislature to find out ways how the makers of frivolous complaints or allegations can be appropriately dealt with. Till then the Courts have to take care of the situation within the existing frame work. As noted the object is to strike at the roots of dowry menace. But by misuse of the provision a new legal terrorism can be unleashed. The provision is intended to be used a shield and not assassins‘ weapon. If cry of "wolf" is made too often as a prank assistance and protection may not be available when the actual "wolf" appears.” Why hasn’t Government acted to prevent misuse even when Supreme Court asked them to ?

Supreme Court of India Term “Legal Terrorism” The Supreme Court with a Bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat and H K Sema has agreed with petitioner Sushil Kumar Sharma that Section 498A of Indian Penal Code, which seeks to protect women from being harassed for dowry, was being misused through frivolous cases filed by women to trouble their in-laws. By misuse of the provision a new “Legal Terrorism” can be unleashed, says Bench Merely because the provision is declared constitutional, it does not give license to unscrupulous persons to wreak personal vendetta. Justices Arijit Pasayat and H K Sema added a word of caution, saying, "Merely because the provision is constitutional, it does not give a license to unscrupulous persons to wreck personal vendetta or unleash harassment." The judges called upon the legislature to refine the Section and "find out ways how frivolous complaints or allegations can be appropriately dealt with".

Supreme Court of India Term “Legal Terrorism” "In such cases acquittal of the accused does not wipe out the ignominy suffered during and prior to trial. Sometimes adverse media coverage adds to the misery". Merely because the provision was declared constitutional and intra vires, it did not give license to unscrupulous persons to wreak personal vendetta or unleash harassment, the judges said. "The object is to strike at the root of dowry menace. But by misuse of the provision a new legal terrorism can be unleashed. The provision is intended to be used as a shield and not an assassin's weapon. If [the] cry of "wolf" is made too often as a prank, assistance and protection may not be available when the actual wolf appears", the Bench said. The investigating agencies could not follow a straitjacket formula in matters of dowry torture, deaths and cruelty. "The role of the investigating agencies and courts is that of a watchdog and not of a bloodhound. It should be their effort to see that an innocent person is not made to suffer on account of unfounded, baseless and malicious allegations," the Bench said. Stop Legal Terrorism and Save your Life

But while a restaurant can refuse service, the police normally arrest the groom and the in-laws. While the Indian media is flooded with reports of dowry-related bride torture, it hardly mentions the horrific cases of suffering husbands at the hands of unscrupulous wives."

Warning from the US State Dept stated …. Stop Legal Terrorism and Save your Life CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject to that country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly from those in the United States and may not afford the protections available to the individual under U.S. law. Persons violating Indian laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested or imprisoned. Furthermore, since the police may arrest anyone who is accused of committing a crime (even if the allegation is frivolous in nature), the Indian criminal justice system is often used to escalate personal disagreements into criminal charges. This practice has been increasingly exploited by dissatisfied business partners, contractors, estranged spouses, or other persons with whom the U.S. citizen has a disagreement, occasionally resulting in the jailing of U.S. citizens pending resolution of their disputes.

Violation of Supreme Court Judgment by Police This is what former Chief Justice Of India, M.N. Venkatachalliah says (JOGINDER KUMAR Vs. STATE OF U.P.25/04/1994) in this landmark judgment that defined the powers of the police to arrest a person. This judgment is especially applicable in the case of a cognizable offence such as 498A: “No arrest can be made because it is lawful for the police officer to do so. The existence of the power to arrest is one thing. The justification for the exercise of it is quite another. The police officer must be able to justify the arrest apart from his power to do so. Arrest and detention in police lock-up of a person cause incalculable harm to the reputation and self –esteem of a person. No arrest can be made in a routine manner on a mere allegation of commission of an offence made against a person. It would be prudent for a police officer in the interest of protection of the constitutional rights of a citizen and perhaps in his own interest that no arrest should be made without a reasonable satisfaction reached after some investigation as to the genuineness and bona fides of a complaint and a reasonable belief both as to the person’s complicity and even so as to the need to effect arrest. Denying a person of his liberty is a serious matter.” The Unanswered Question : Then why in all the 498A cases the accused had been arrested by Police even Child and Women forget about men?

Violation of High Court Judgment by Police Justice JD Kapoor, in this judgment (Delhi High Court CRLMM 3875/ Court on its own motion Versus Central Bureau of Investigation), says: “For instance it is the experience of this court that in offences under Sections 498A/406 IPC which are much abused provisions and exploited by the police and the victims to the level of absurdity and are of such nature which can be investigated without arrest and do not fall under the aforesaid category viz. being of highest magnitude and prescribing severest punishment or minimum punishment, every relative of husband, close or distant, old or minor is arrested by the police. By arresting such relatives whose arrest may not be necessary for completing the investigation as it can be completed by other witnesses, police assumes the role of breaker of homes and not the maker as once any relative of he husband is sent to jail, the marriage ends for all practical purposes and divorce and other miseries are bound to follow. Unless the allegations are of very serious nature and highest magnitude arrest should always be avoided.” Reward Given the Judge: So called Women activist Broken the Judges Chair and Chief Justice of India till date failed to Punish those Criminals and still they are moving Freely in our Society.

Why Bail refused on failure to agree the Money demand ( 498A/406 Cases) The Supreme Court also said that (Moti Ram and Others v State of M.P. (AIR 1978 SC 1594)): “Fixing an excessively high amount of bond, keeping in consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and economic condition of the accused, violates the constitutional norms.” Still, at the time of Bail in 498A/406 cases, the wives family openly demand the Huge money from Husband's family in front of Judges in Lacks and on failure of the same bail application had been rejected.

Supreme Court Snap “Domestic Violence Act” This judgment of the Supreme Court (Batra Vs Batra. Mar 2007) the Domestic Violence Act : No doubt, the definition of 'shared household' in Section 2(s) of the Act is not very happily worded, and appears to be the result of clumsy drafting, but we have to give it an interpretation which is sensible and which does not lead to chaos in society. It is quite possible that the husband and wife may have lived together in dozens of places e.g. with the husband's father, husband's paternal grand parents, his maternal parents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces etc. If the interpretation canvassed by the learned Counsel for the respondent is accepted, all these houses of the husband's relatives will be shared households and the wife can well insist in living in the all these houses of her husband's relatives merely because she had stayed with her husband for some time in those houses in the past. Such a view would lead to chaos and would be absurd. Stop Legal Terrorism and Save your Life
