FACTUAL BACKGROUND
His attempt to secure anticipatory bail has failed and hence he has knocked the
door of this Court by way of this Special Leave Petition.
Leave granted.
n sum and substance, allegation levelled by the wife against the appellant is
that demand of Rupees eight lakh, a maruti car, an air-conditioner, television
set etc. was made by her mother-in-law and father-in-law and when this fact
was brought to the appellant’s notice, he supported his mother and threatened
to marry another woman. It has been alleged that she was driven out of the
matrimonial home due to non- fulfilment of the demand of dowry.
Denying all the allegations made by the respondent, Petitioner applied for the
anticipatory bail which was earlier rejected by Court of Session and thereafter
by the High Court. Aggrieved from the order rejecting the anticipatory bail,
Petitioner by way of Special Leave Petition appealed to the Supreme Court.
As noted dawn:-
Arrest brings humiliation, curtails freedom and cast scars forever. Law makers
know it so also the police. There is a battle between the law makers and the
police and it seems that police has not learnt its lesson; the lesson implicit and
embodied in the Cr.PC. It has not come out of its colonial image despite six
decades of independence, it is largely considered as a tool of harassment,
oppression and surely not considered a friend of public. The need for caution in
exercising the drastic power of arrest has been emphasized time and again by
Courts but has not yielded desired result. Power to arrest greatly contributes to
its arrogance so also the failure of the Magistracy to check it. Not only this, the
power of arrest is one of the lucrative sources of police corruption. The attitude
to arrest first and then proceed with the rest is despicable. It has become a
handy tool to the police officers who lack sensitivity or act with oblique motive.
Issues raised:
The only issue that was involved in this particular case was the grant of
anticipatory bail. The Anticipatory bail was not granted by the High Court. The
case further deals with two of the most important issues i.e.
• It has been alleged that she was driven out of the matrimonial home due
to non-fulfilment of the demand of dowry.
• The fact that Section 498-A IPC is a cognizable and non-bailable offence
has lent it a dubious place of pride amongst the provisions that are used
as weapons rather than shield by disgruntled wives.
