The Supreme Court set aside a dowry-harassment FIR against a woman’s parents-in-law and sister-in-law in Uttar Pradesh, ruling that vague matrimonial allegations should not trigger criminal proceedings. It stressed that criminal law must not serve as personal vendetta.
Today, On 11th December, The Supreme Court reprimanded a woman lawyer for a derogatory Facebook post targeting another woman who accused Kerala Congress MLA Rahul Mamkoottathil of rape. The Court said, “Had it been a man who had written all this nonsense, we would have got him arrested here itself.”
