71 year old lady accused in 498a runs for bail, Kerala HC, Eranakulam Bench

Notes
  • 71 year old lady, probably mother of main accused and husband is seeking bail
  • sad to see MANY MANY women dragged to police and courts because young wives want to file 498a
  • I have read 100s of 498a cases (just 498a where wife is alive) and I am YET to see even 1% of them survive till the HC and husband get convicted till HC
  • what a sad misuse of law, what a traversity , what a loot by young wives ?
  • thankfully in this case KErala HC grants bail to the old lady
