husband, brother, mother, sister accused 498a case, routine bail, kerala HC, why oh why are lives wasted thus ??

Thoughts

• for every irritated, case filing complainant woman. in 498a cases, two three women are accused and dragged to courts and police
• here is a classic case where everyone in hubby's family including hubby's mother. hubby's sister etc are accused
• why oh why in the name of women's empowerment are SO MANY WOMEN accused and dragged to courts ??
• Court grants bail
• what will happen from here on ? case will drag on for years and / or be finally compromised
• everyone except the hubby and family will laugh and many predators in the chain will make money
• there will be NO punishment for false case filing women
• the next day morning there will be one more false case and one more circle starts

Order


This petition is filed under Section 438 of Cr.PC., seeking anticipatory bail. The petitioners are the accused in Crime No.2130/12     of Aluva East Police Station for having committed the offences punishable under Sections 498A r/w S.34 IPC. The allegation against them is that they mentally and physically harassed the defacto complainant, demanding more dowry. The petitioners submit that the above allegations are totally false and cooked up only for the purpose of this case. According to them, the crime has been registered on the basis of a private complaint filed by the complainant. They also point out that they have been falsely implicated with ulterior motives. Therefore, they seek anticipatory bail.


2. The learned Public prosecutor vehemently opposed the application.

1. The petitioners shall surrender before the Investigating Officer on or before 05.10.2012, who, after interrogation, shall produce them before the JFCM concerned.

3. The learned Magistrate shall ensure the identity of the sureties and also the veracity of the tax receipts produced by the sureties before granting bail to the petitioners.


4. The petitioners shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when required by him, till final report is filed.


5. The petitioners shall not tamper or attempt to tamper with the evidence and influence or try to influence the witnesses.
