498a filed, 4 lakhs collected, case quashed; doesn't that sound pretty professional. Now don't ask whats d REAL amount, I don't know!

thoughts
***************************

• a husband is accused of henious crimes , dowry demands what not
• then comes a compromise
• then comes a quash
• what is the use of a beneficial legislation if the real truth is NOT found out !!
• record # of 498a cases are ending in quash !!
• this is the third or fourth I am reading in a day or two in just one bench of one HC ....then imagine what an assembly line of cases are waiting all over INDIA
