Misuse of Section 498A


In the cases Preeti Gupta v. State of Jharkhand (decided on August 13, 2010) and Ramgopal v. State of M.P. (Order dated July 30, 2010) relating to Section 498A, the Supreme Court of India has observed that complaints are not always bona fide and are at time filed with oblique motive. The Court has, inter-alia, requested the Law Commission of India to examine different aspects of Section 498A including that of making it compoundable. Giving this information in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today Shri Salman Khurshid, Minister of Law & Justice, said that the Law Commission of India has considered the above decisions of the Supreme Court of India. As per the information received by the Commission, more than one lakh cases are pending. The subject relating to Section 498A has been discussed at the meeting of Law Commission of India held on 31st October, 2011 and in the light of deliberations, the Law Commission will prepare the Report which will detail the need to make the offence under Section 498A IPC ‘compoundable’ or not. The Report will also deal with other aspects relating to Section 498A such as making it bailable, process of arrest, conciliation etc.

  1. The ministery will never accept the misuse of section 498A openly. Whereas the all ministers, politicians, policemen, judiciary and even a layman knows very well that these laws as 498A, DV act, Rap cases are misused as approx. 90%-95%. But no one will take a pain to improve the laws. Because these powerful and capable persons has no sympathy or imotion towards real victims. The girls who misuse 498A for their oblique motives can only get some money but they also repands for rest of life. And the real victims of crime against women will could hardly take the advantages of these laws if they incounter with real gunda families.

  5. First change the 498a definition. I think it's written by illiterate person. Because 498a it self is a crime(because there is no perfect definition).

  6. American experts says India is a Land of Law. But the question is Whether, realy India is land of Justice ? hahahahah!
    Indian Govt and Pilitics is nothing more then Business. And you know Business means focus on money, not the Chairity or Social Service. And change can happen only when citizens reacts voilently like 1947-48.
