304B in sessions courts.

Curse of 304b dowry death




In a judgment the Apex court bench of Justice A.K. Patnaik and Justice S.J. Mukhopadhaya said that prosecution has to prove, besides the demand of dowry, harassment or cruelty caused by the accused to the deceased soon before her death under section 304B i.e. dowry death.

But this gender bias law is so viral and fatal that lower judicial system of this country is not immune to this and the judges of sessions courts are not gutsy enough to pass rational judgement on this issue i.e. 304B (Dowry Death). I have come across so many judgements in which so called accused, the husband, is being victimized. I can not understand why  people of this country don't stand up against use of this law as torturing machine.

 I have quoted the judgement of the honorable judges of apex court in which they have clearly stated that it is responsibility of the prosecution to prove that deceased had been subjected to cruelty but now a days in sessions courts responsibility has been shifted to innocent accused to prove the things he has not done in 304B and 498A. How a man can prove a thing he has not done. 

I request people of this country to raise your voice to save innocent men whose life, career, social status all are at stake and jeopardized by this lethal weapon called 304B and 498A.
