Bride, kin charged with giving dowry – Delhi court
19 sep 2010
Beware those who give hefty amounts in dowry even if there was no demand from the groom’s side. In an interesting case recently, a woman and his family were in the dock for giving hefty dowry even when it was not asked for. The woman later levelled charges of torture against her in-laws, despite giving a hefty dowry.
The woman landed in trouble when the court ordered to file a criminal case against her and her family members for giving dowry.
The additional chief metropolitan magistrate (ACMM) Lokesh Kumar Sharma also pulled up a Delhi police official for delaying action after receiving a complaint.
“It is a settled law that if a woman, who is well-educated, marries in a house inspite of dowry demands, she is accomplice to the crime,” the court said.
The ACMM also said that “It appears that the SHO prepares reply without applying his mind. Previously also, he placed on record certain communications which were uncalled and unwarranted.”
The ACMM ordered the Station House Officer (SHO) of Shahdara to register an FIR on a complaint filed by the harassed husband. The couple had got married in 2009 but the husband and wife strained relations soonafter.
The complainant husband alleged that he was given dowry by his in-laws at the time of marriage but he did not complain about the same and accepted the articles of properties of his wife.

Court orders FIR against woman for harassing husband
Shikha verma | New Delhi
A city court pulled up an official of the Delhi Police for delaying action against a complaint. The court directed the SHO concerned to register an FIR against the woman and her family in a matrimonial dispute and dowry case.
“It appears that the SHO prepares reply without applying his mind. Previously also, he placed on record certain communications which were uncalled and unwarranted," said Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Lokesh Kumar Sharma.
The court ordered the Station House Officer (SHO) of Shahdara to register the FIR on a complaint filed in the court by the harassed husband within 48 hours of the order.
The woman had complaint of being tortured by her in-laws despite giving a hefty dowry. However the woman landed in trouble after the court ordered to file a criminal case against the woman and her family members for giving dowry. The SHO submitted before the court, "Due to delayed reporting of the matter, I was unable to takes cognisance in this case."
Annoyed with the reply of the SHO, ACMM Sharma said, "I fail to understand as to under which provision of law, the SHO has been empowered to take cognisance of the cases. Additional Commissioner of Police (ACP) Shahdara DV Joshi has been called along with the SHO."
In the complaint filed through counsels Gagan Preet Singh and Karan Bir Singh, the husband referred to the allegations made by his wife before the Crime Against Women (CAW) Cell of the Delhi Police that a huge dowry was paid by his wife family without being asked for the same.
The couple got married on December 2, 2009 and as apparent from the complaint, differences between the husband and the wife developed soon after the marriage. The complainant husband alleged that he was given dowry by his in-laws at the time of marriage but he did not complain about the same and accepted the articles of properties of his wife. Whereas, the wife had made similar allegation in her petitions filed in the court for seeking maintenance and prosecution of her husband and his family members under Domestic Violence Act.
"It is a settled law that if a woman, who is well-educated, marries in the same house inspite of dowry demands, she is accomplice to the crime," the court said. In her complaint before the CAW, she had alleged that her mother and brother had spent Rs 10 lakh in the marriage and given handsome dowry articles, gold jewellery and Rs 50,000 cash, the counsels Gagan Preet Singh and Karan Bir Singh submitted before the court.
The court acted on the complaint filed by the man seeking registration of the FIR against his wife and family members as police had refused to act on his plea earlier.
