If the latest move by Mayawati is enforced in UP that there is no bail for rape accused till end of trial, then what happens to many people who are seeking bail on the same time??
498a is already in wide misuse. Many women to harass husbands with whom they know the marriage is breaking down put dowry case and seek huge amounts of settlement money so that the husbands family is not put behind bars.......Isnt this clear cut extortion?
If mayawati has her way then it will ensure that fake rape case will be used as a means to harass innocent men.
Yes to curb the menace there should also be a law which says that any woman who puts a false case should face twice the time in jail with no pardon. Petty fines of few thousand rupees are no use. When someone can misuse the law to put an innocent person in jail they should also get a taste of their own medicine.
