	Hi Experts, Can anyone please comment on the possibility of getting arrested in fake 498a cases after SC judgement of 2014. Have the arrest reduced drastically or atleast no automatic arrests and people are getting time for Bail. New SC Jugment in 2014 have rrally brought up change?

The judgement of SC is working as a sheild against unnecessary arrest and harrasment against all the sections in which maximum punishment is 7 years. But be alert. After that judgement taking AB from session court also became easier as every body wants peace of mind so people still taking AB

Thanks all for Feedback.

Even After all of the above Judgements, Police arrest is possible? Just want to seek your views.
