No arrests under anti-dowry law without magistrate’s nod: SC Source NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said women were increasingly using the anti-dowry law to harass in-laws and restrained police from mechanically arresting the husband and his relatives on mere lodging of a complaint under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. Citing very low conviction rate in such cases, it directed the state governments to instruct police "not to automatically arrest when a case under Section 498A of IPC is registered but to satisfy themselves about the necessity for arrest under the parameters (check list) provided under Section 41 of criminal procedure code". Section 41 lays down a 9-point check list police to weigh the need to arrest after examining the conduct of the accused, including possibility of his absconding. Expressing exasperation over rampant misuse of Section 498A, a bench of Justices C K Prasad and P C Ghose said if police arrested the accused, the magistrate should weigh the preliminary evidence against the Section 41 checklist before allowing further detention. "The magistrate, while authorising detention of the accused shall peruse the report furnished by the police officer in terms of Section 41 and only after recording its satisfaction, the magistrate will authorize detention," the bench said. It also said that this check-list for arrest and detention would apply to all offences, which are punished with a prison term less than 7 years. Punishment under Section 498A is a maximum of three years but it had been made a cognizable and non-bailable offence, which made grant of bail to the accused a rarity in courts. But the court singled out the dowry harassment cases as the most abused and misused provision, though the legislature had enacted it with the laudable object to prevent harassment of women in matrimonial homes. Writing the judgment for the bench, Justice Prasad said there had been a phenomenal increase in dowry harassment cases in India in the last few years. "The fact that Section 498A is a cognizable and non-bailable offence has lent it a dubious place of pride amongst the provisions that are used as weapons rather than shield by disgruntled wives," he said. "The simplest way to harass is to get the husband and his relatives arrested under this provision. In a quite number of cases, bed-ridden grand-fathers and grand-mothers of the husbands, their sisters living abroad for decades are arrested," he said. The bench quoted "Crime in India 2012 Statistics" published by National Crime Records Bureau to say that nearly 2 lakh people were arrested in India in 2012 under Section 498-A, which was 9.4% more than in 2011. "Nearly a quarter of those arrested under this provision in 2012 were women i.e. 47,951 which depicts that others and sisters of the husbands were liberally included in their arrest net. Its share is 6% out of the total persons arrested under the crimes committed under Indian Penal Code. It accounts for 4.5% of total crimes committed under different sections of penal code, more than any other crimes excepting theft and hurt," it said. "The rate of charge-sheeting in cases under Section 498A is as high as 93.6%, while the conviction rate is only 15%, which is lowest across all heads. As many as 3,72,706 cases are pending trial of which on current estimate, nearly 3,17,000 are likely to result in acquittal," the bench said illustrating the misuse of Section 498A as a tool to harass husband and his relatives. Describing arrest as a humiliating experience apart from curtailing the freedom, the bench said police have not shed their colonial hangover despite six decades of independence and were still considered "as a tool of harassment, oppression, and surely not considered a friend of public". The need for caution in exercising the drastic power of arrest had been emphasized time and again by courts but has not yielded results, the court said and tasked the magistrates to check illegal arrests.

After posting few lines in India against corruption thread regarding gender biased laws of India like (Read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowry_law_in_India , there are links to main articles from here) kind words and concern of Racoon and Digitalvirvana gave courage to me to post this and I decided to post this thread to create necessary awareness amongst rimwebians. My story in brief http://www.498a.dreamhosters.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6181 (I have not posted any post marital issues in very much in detail) I am not posting my view points as every one has right to make judgment based on own understanding. i. The Dowry Prohibition Act , 1961 ii. The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act , 1956 iii. The Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act , 1986 iv. The Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act , 1987 v. The National Commission for Women Act , 1990 vi. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act , 2005. vii. THE PROTECTION OF WOMEN AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSEMENT AT WORKPLACE (Read act here http://wcd.nic.in/protshbill2007.htm and see definition of sexual harassment and imagine what woman can do to male employee) If one goes thru all these laws it appears that they are designed to provide better environment to women in our society, however the fact is that these laws are misused more than used. Reason is very simple corrupt law enforcing machinery and greed of women. Legally men is responsible to maintain well earning, well settled women. Once men gets married means he is suppose to fulfill all needs of women. I have come across very funny DV act cases like husband refused to take wife to restaurant for dinner and made comment that "SLEEP HUNGRY" means cruelty to woman. Statistically there are very small numbers of cases filed every year. However if one look at the number of people harassed viz a viz number of people convicted, there is clear cut indication that there is some thing wrong with either law enforcing machinery or law drafting machinery or probably our understanding of family. Read statistics here http://data.498a.org/ IMO Matrimonial disputes are ideally civil type of disputes - except where death has taken place. Legally dowry is prohibited. Means giving or taking dowry is crime, then why only takers are prosecuted? There has been no incidence (atleast in my knowledge) where dowry giver is ever prosecuted. Law also should take customary exchange of gifts, money and articles exchanged in marriages into consideration. There has to be consideration of economical, educational and social back ground of women while awarding any relief to woman. Further suggested readings http://www.mynation.net Discussion forum http://forum.498a.org/ Right now Government of India has posted Consultation Paper-cum-Questionnaire regarding Section 498-A of Indian Penal Code http://lawcommissionofindia.nic.in/reports/cp-s498.doc Where they have asked suggestions regarding draconian IPC 498A, kindly read and send them email or letters by post. I am uploading reply I made them for reference. Reason for posting this letter is obvious that unless one do not go thru' legal hassles its very difficult to understand meanings of each sentences and words used. draft reply to law comission.doc
