Section 498 A

The apex court has come down heavily on the “growing tendency to misuse provisions like Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code” intended to protect married women “as a tool for unleashing personal vendetta against the husband and his family by a wife”. The issue has gained relevance considering the recent suicide of a Bengaluru techie and the allegations levelled by him against his wife and in-laws 

The Supreme Court has directed to release a man convicted under section 304B , 498A, Indian Penal Code during pendency of his appeal in High Court.
