though lower court convicted,sentanced husband, parties let 2 do panchayat,bargains,payments & quash case!! isn't this "beneficial" legislation, and something benefitting women ? THE bitter truth of fire 498a, bargain and withdraw 498a!! Why should the taxpayer pay for this ??

Thoughts
************************

• Case filed by wife
• lower court convicted, sentenced husband,
• Still parties allowed to do panchayat,bargains,payments etc
• Ablaa naari (and hapless hubby) now appears and say "want quash "
• How many women were harassed for one woman to make money  ? THE bitter truth of fire 498a, bargain and withdraw 498a!!
• Why should the taxpayer pay for this ??
