Nara Chandrababu Naidu's Visionary Policies For Andhra Pradesh's Development
Ppt to stop the legal terrorism
1. Supreme Court on 498 A
Sushil Kumar Sharma Vs Union of India and Ors
(Writ Petition (civil) 141 of 2005)
“The object of the provision is prevention of the dowry meance. But as has been
rightly contended by the petitioner many instances have come to light where the
complaints are not bonafide and have filed with obligue motive. In such cases
acquittal of the accused does not in all cases wipe out the ignomy suffered during
and prior to trial. Sometimes adverse media coverage adds to the misery. The
question, therefore, is what remedial measures can be taken to prevent abuse of the
well-intentioned provision. Merely because the provision is constitutional and intra
vires, does not give a licence to unscrupulous persons to wreck personal vendetta or
unleash harassment. It may, therefore, become necessary for the
legislature to find out ways how the makers of frivolous complaints or
allegations can be appropriately dealt with. Till then the Courts have to take
care of the situation within the existing frame work. As noted the object is to strike at
the roots of dowry menace. But by misuse of the provision a new legal
terrorism can be unleashed. The provision is intended to be used a shield and
not assassins‘ weapon. If cry of "wolf" is made too often as a prank assistance and
protection may not be available when the actual "wolf" appears.”
Why hasn’t Government acted to prevent misuse even when Supreme
Court asked them to ?

2. Supreme Court of India Term “Legal Terrorism”
• The Supreme Court with a Bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat
and H K Sema has agreed with petitioner Sushil Kumar Sharma that
Section 498A of Indian Penal Code, which seeks to protect women
from being harassed for dowry, was being misused through frivolous
cases filed by women to trouble their in-laws.
• By misuse of the provision a new “Legal Terrorism” can be
unleashed, says Bench Merely because the provision is declared
constitutional, it does not give license to unscrupulous persons to
wreak personal vendetta.
• Justices Arijit Pasayat and H K Sema added a word of caution, saying,
"Merely because the provision is constitutional, it does not give a license to
unscrupulous persons to wreck personal vendetta or unleash harassment."
• The judges called upon the legislature to refine the Section and "find
out ways how frivolous complaints or allegations can be appropriately
dealt with".
• But till date our Government /legislature have not shown any concern
to stop this “Legal Terrorism” is best Known to them.

3. Supreme Court of India Term “Legal Terrorism”
• "In such cases acquittal of the accused does not wipe out the
ignominy suffered during and prior to trial. Sometimes adverse
media coverage adds to the misery". Merely because the provision
was declared constitutional and intra vires, it did not give license
to unscrupulous persons to wreak personal vendetta or unleash
harassment, the judges said.
• "The object is to strike at the root of dowry menace. But by
misuse of the provision a new legal terrorism can be unleashed.
The provision is intended to be used as a shield and not an
assassin's weapon. If [the] cry of "wolf" is made too often as a
prank, assistance and protection may not be available when the
actual wolf appears", the Bench said.
• The investigating agencies could not follow a straitjacket formula
in matters of dowry torture, deaths and cruelty.
• "The role of the investigating agencies and courts is that of a
watchdog and not of a bloodhound. It should be their effort to see
that an innocent person is not made to suffer on account of
unfounded, baseless and malicious allegations," the Bench said.

4. Who Are We …Victims of Legal Terrorism in India
• We are working professionals( IIT/IIM/Engineer/Doctors/MBA/IT
Engineers/Media Journalist/Judge/Police all except Politicians) and are were
working for family harmony.
• We want Domestic Harmony Act , but Government refuse the same.
• We want gender Equal Law , men/women to be replace by the word Person
and Wife/Husband to be replace by Spouse in all Indian IPC Law.
• Till Date no Politicians/Ministers had been arrested in 498A or DV act case,
but common people arrested without any investigation and more than 98%
face the money extortion the way a Terrorist do with Common people.
• When ever any Politician of Ministers accused of 498A or DV act, even
women ministers also come out openly to give him Clean Chit.
• Why different law for Politicians/Ministers in India?

• NRI Journalist Kulbhushan stated
• "Filing a non-bailable dowry case under IPC 498A
is easier than ordering a meal. But while a
restaurant can refuse service, the police normally
arrest the groom and the in-laws. While the Indian
media is flooded with reports of dowry-related
bride torture, it hardly mentions the horrific cases
of suffering husbands at the hands of
unscrupulous wives."

7. Warning from the US State Dept stated ….
• http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1139.html
• CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject
to that country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly
from those in the United States and may not afford the protections available
to the individual under U.S. law. Persons violating Indian laws, even
unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested or imprisoned.
• Furthermore, since the police may arrest anyone who is
accused of committing a crime (even if the allegation is frivolous in
nature), the Indian criminal justice system is often used to escalate
personal disagreements into criminal charges. This practice has been
increasingly exploited by dissatisfied business partners, contractors,
estranged spouses, or other persons with whom the U.S. citizen has a
disagreement, occasionally resulting in the jailing of U.S. citizens
pending resolution of their disputes.

against men by women is rising in Orissa. Since May 2007, the
Commission has registered 38 such cases,’’ chairperson

money from Husbands family start from Lacks to Cores.

16. Violation of Supreme Court Judgment by Police
• This is what former Chief Justice Of India, M.N. Venkatachalliah says
(JOGINDER KUMAR Vs. STATE OF U.P.25/04/1994) in this landmark
judgment that defined the powers of the police to arrest a person. This
judgment is especially applicable in the case of a cognizable offence such
as 498A:
• “No arrest can be made because it is lawful for the police officer to do so.
The existence of the power to arrest is one thing. The justification for the
exercise of it is quite another. The police officer must be able to justify the
arrest apart from his power to do so. Arrest and detention in police lock-up
of a person cause incalculable harm to the reputation and self –esteem of a
person. No arrest can be made in a routine manner on a mere allegation of
commission of an offence made against a person. It would be prudent for a
police officer in the interest of protection of the constitutional rights of a
citizen and perhaps in his own interest that no arrest should be made
without a reasonable satisfaction reached after some investigation as to the
genuineness and bona fides of a complaint and a reasonable belief both as
to the person’s complicity and even so as to the need to effect arrest.
Denying a person of his liberty is a serious matter.”
• The Unanswered Question : Then why in all the 498A cases the
accused had been arrested by Police even ChildLife Women forget
Stop Legal Terrorism and Save your and
about men?
17. Violation of High Court Judgment by Police
• Justice JD Kapoor, in this judgment (Delhi High Court CRLMM 3875/2003
28.01.2004 Court on its own motion Versus Central Bureau of
Investigation), says:
• “For instance it is the experience of this court that in offences
under Sections 498A/406 IPC which are much abused provisions
and exploited by the police and the victims to the level of
absurdity and are of such nature which can be investigated
without arrest and do not fall under the aforesaid category viz.
being of highest magnitude and prescribing severest punishment
or minimum punishment, every relative of husband, close or
distant, old or minor is arrested by the police. By arresting such
relatives whose arrest may not be necessary for completing the
investigation as it can be completed by other witnesses, police
assumes the role of breaker of homes and not the maker as once
any relative of he husband is sent to jail, the marriage ends for all
practical purposes and divorce and other miseries are bound to
follow. Unless the allegations are of very serious nature and
highest magnitude arrest should always be avoided.”
• Reward Given the Judge: So called Women activist Broken the Judges Chair and
Chief Justice of India till date failed to Punish those Criminals and still they are
moving Freely in our Society. When Chief Justice can’t even save guard the Judges
Chair , how they will Protect the Common and Save your Life
Stop Legal Terrorism People’s Save guard?
18. Why Bail refused on failure to agree the Money
demand ( 498A/406 Cases)
• The Supreme Court also said that (Moti Ram and Others v State of
M.P. (AIR 1978 SC 1594)):
• “Fixing an excessively high amount of bond, keeping in
consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and
economic condition of the accused, violates the
constitutional norms.”
• Still, at the time of Bail in 498A/406 cases , the wives family openly
demand the Huge money from Husband's family in front of Judges in
Lacks and on failure of the same bail application had been rejected.
• The Simple argument we witness ,Pay the money to get the
bail or go to Jail. !!!
• Is this not Legal Extortions of Money and Violation of
Article 21?
Stop Legal Terrorism and Save your Life
19. Supreme Court Snap “Domestic Violence Act”
• This judgment of the Supreme Court (Batra Vs Batra. Mar 2007) the
Domestic Violence Act :
• No doubt, the definition of 'shared household' in Section 2(s) of
the Act is not very happily worded, and appears to be the result
of clumsy drafting, but we have to give it an interpretation
which is sensible and which does not lead to chaos in society.
• It is quite possible that the husband and wife may have
lived together in dozens of places e.g. with the husband's
father, husband's paternal grand parents, his maternal
parents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces
etc. If the interpretation canvassed by the learned Counsel
for the respondent is accepted, all these houses of the
husband's relatives will be shared households and the wife
can well insist in living in the all these houses of her
husband's relatives merely because she had stayed with her
husband for some time in those houses in the past. Such a
view would lead to chaos and would be absurd .
Stop Legal Terrorism and Save your Life
20. Supreme Court Snap “Domestic Violence Act”
• If our LAW makers do not have honesty, good intention and
knowledge to make a Law, why they do not review the same by
Retired Supreme Court Judges?
• Why there is no Judges kept in the LAW Review Committee?
• If we go through the definition of “Domestic Violence” as
described in the Act: like Verbal Abuse, Economical Abuse,
Mental harassment , sexual harassment etc.not only women,
more than 98% Indian Husbands also face the same at least
once in 3 years of a relationship , study by Save Indian Family
and My nation.
• Then why the “Domestic Violence Act” is not Equal for both
Men and Women , like all other developed Country?
Stop Legal Terrorism and Save your Life
21. Women-protection laws
or
“Legal Terrorism”?
There are no laws to protect men from domestic abuse and marital
cruelty
Women-protection laws unfairly assume:
• victims of marital cruelty are always 498A type wives
• Wives are always honest victims, never lie
• the accused Husband and his family are assumed guilty until proven
innocent….
IPC 498A/DV act and other women-protection laws are being
blatantly misused to extrote the Money from Husbands Family
as a FREE ATM Machine in front of Court, Police and even in
public Media.
