Misuse of 498A is like Legal Terrorism - Supreme Court

Many instances have come to light where the complaints are not bonafide and have been filed with oblique motive. In such cases acquittal of the accused does not in all cases wipe out the ignomy suffered during and prior to trial.
Misuse of the provision a new legal terrorism can be unleashed. The provision is intended to be used a shield and not an assassin’s
weapon. If cry of “wolf” is made too often as a prank assistance and protection may not be available when the actual “wolf” appears. There is no
question of investigating agency and Courts casually dealing with the allegations. They cannot follow any straitjacket formula in the matters
relating to dowry tortures, deaths and cruelty. It cannot be lost sight of that ultimate objective of every legal system is to arrive at truth,
punish the guilty and protect the innocent. It is to be noted that the role of the investigating agencies and the courts is that of watch dog 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.

Two absurd suggestions from my side
1. Men and women should pay equal taxes at same salary levels
2. Adultary should be considered as crime by both men and women

Anyways i haven’t deleted any of their comments on my blog in the right spirit.
