FACTUAL BACKGROUND

The marriage between the Petitioner hereinafter referred as (Arnesh Kumar)


and Respondent No.2 hereinafter referred as (Sweta Kiran) was solemnised on
dated 1st July 2007.

Arnesh Kumar was arrested under the provision of Section 4 of Dowry


Prohibition Act 1961 after his wife Sweta Kiran affirmed that the petitioner has
requested/ demanded dowry from her.

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:-

There is phenomenal increase in matrimonial disputes in recent years. The


institution of marriage is greatly revered in this country. Section 498-A of the
IPC was introduced with avowed object to combat the menace of harassment to
a woman at the hands of her husband and his relatives. The fact that Section
498-A 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. The simplest way to harass is to get the husband and his
relatives arrested under this provision. In a quite number of cases, bed-ridden
grand-fathers and grand-mothers of the husbands, their sisters living abroad
for decades are arrested. “Crime in India 2012 Statistics” published by National
Crime Records Bureau, Ministry of Home Affairs shows arrest of 1,97,762
persons all over India during the year 2012 for offence under Section 498-A of
the IPC, 9.4% more than the year 2011. Nearly a quarter of those arrested
under this provision in 2012 were women i.e. 47,951 which depicts that
mothers and sisters of the husbands were liberally included in their arrest net.
Its share is 6% out of the total persons arrested under the crimes committed
under Indian Penal Code. It accounts for 4.5% of total crimes committed under
different sections of penal code, more than any other crimes excepting theft
and hurt. The rate of charge-sheeting in cases under Section 498A, IPC is as
high as 93.6%, while the conviction rate is only 15%, which is lowest across all
heads. As many as 3,72,706 cases are pending trial of which on current
estimate, nearly 3,17,000 are likely to result in acquittal.

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.

1. Right of accused person before and after arrest


2. What are the remedies that is left to a person when there is a misuse of
Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code by women.

Arguments raised by the side of defendant:

• It has been alleged that she was driven out of the matrimonial home due
to non-fulfilment of the demand of dowry.

Arguments raised by the side of petitioner:

• 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.
