Illegal arrests

You tell a legal person half the story, s/he will tell you the later half. The real problem is that even though judiciary acknowledges misuse of 498a like an often-repeated script of an old hindi movie, no action has been taken to stop the misuse.
 
Even if the police know that a case is false, the accused people have to run for anticipatory bail. What we need is a judgement/ an amendment that will stop the police from harassing the innocents.
 
We don't want the police to be an accomplice in the injustice against a husband and his relatives.
Stop calling ILLEGAL ARRESTS legal.
 
The law that defines illegal arrests should be broadened in scope to include illegal arrests in the context of 498a.
