The term 'domestic violence' refers to abusive behaviour in any personal relationship that allows one partner to intimidate, or to gain power and control over the other. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with the violence done on women after her marriage by her husband or her in-laws or any relative of the husband. It prescribes punishment for 3 years and a fine. It gave a new definition to cruelty. Cruelty can be defined as the act of such a nature that the woman is enticed to commit suicide or cause an injury to herself which may prove fatal. Evidence is required to prove cruelty.
Whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband of a woman, subjects such woman to cruelty shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine.
Supreme Court calls the Section 498A as 'Legal Terrorism'. The misuse or abuse of the law is mostly done by urban and educated women. Also, in most of the cases, the husband and two of his relatives are prosecuted.
Women use it as a weapon than to shield themselves. In Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar, it was stated that bedridden grandfathers and grandmothers and even relatives living abroad were arrested. So women have started using it as a weapon to get their husbands arrested if they are not satisfied with them. There are many false cases registered every year, as a result, it increases the pendency of cases in the courts. There have been a number of cases when the male is not of India and he comes to India to marry the lady. Due to extortion and fear of jail, he is made to do acts which he otherwise would not have done. He is under the fear of Section 498A. Police visits the office premises of men and his reputation is harmed. Police can also pick up the relatives if the complaint is harmed. Also, it does not require any proof before arrest. Even no investigation is required. So if there is a small dispute, a woman can use the section to seek revenge. Gifts given out of love and affection cannot be termed as dowry.
The Section 498A is non-bailable and a cognisable offence. The judiciary should change it to a bailable and non-cognisable offence. Bails should be granted to the husband, so that if the case is filed on false grounds, there is a course of action left.

Do not rely on any principle of law other than the ones supplied to you, and do not assume any facts other than those supplied to you when answering the question. Please choose the option that most accurately and comprehensively answers the question.The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly has recently passed the Andhra Pradesh Disha Bill, 2019 (now, Andhra Pradesh Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2019).Disha is the name given to the veterinarian who was raped and murdered in Hyderabad on 27 November, 2019, sparked an outrage across country.It envisages the completion of investigation in 7 days and trial in 14 working days, where there is adequate conclusive evidence, and reducing total judgment time to 21 days from existing 4 months.The Act also prescribes death penalty for rape crimes where there is adequate conclusive evidence and this provision is given by amending Section 376 of Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860.In cases of harassment of women through social/digital media, the Act states 2 years imprisonment for first conviction and 4 years imprisonment for second as well as subsequent convictions. As per Section 354D of IPC, stalking is continuously following a woman or contacting her either online or in person, where she has clearly shown she doesnt want the attention. The section makes an exception, if a person is stalking a woman as part of a legal duty to do so.A new Section 354 E will be added in IPC, 1860. It also prescribes life imprisonment for other sexual offences against children and for this purpose includes Section 354 F and 354 G in IPC. The Andhra Pradesh government will now establish, operate and maintain a register in electronic form, to be called Women & Children Offenders Registry. This registry will be made public and will also be available to countrys law enforcement agencies.The state government will also establish exclusive special courts in each district to ensure speedy trial. These courts will exclusively deal with cases of offences against women and children including rape, sexual harassment, acid attacks, social media harassment of women, stalking, voyeurism and all cases under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.Moreover, the government will also appoint a special public prosecutor for each exclusive special court. The government will constitute special police teams at district level to be called District Special Police Team. It will be headed by DSP for investigation of offences related to women and children.Q.Naman is a police officer who is tracking down an arms shipment and has been monitoring Shrutis emails, phone messages and her Whatsapp messages. Naman has been keeping an eye on Shruti for a month. On knowing this fact, Shruti filed a complaint against Naman under Section 354 D of IPC. Naman was sentenced 2 years imprisonment for being the first case of stalking from Shruti. Is the sentence valid?

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given beside.It has been repeatedly held that the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) is a sui generis legislation, enacted to tackle money laundering through white-collar crimes. According to Section 3 of the PMLA, the act of projecting or claiming proceeds of crime to be untainted property constitutes the offense of money laundering. Under the Schedule to the PMLA, a number of offenses under the Indian Penal Code and other special statutes have been included, which serve as the basis for the offense of money laundering. In other words, the existence of predicate offense is sine qua non to charge someone with money laundering. It is crucial to note that the investigation and prosecution of the predicate offense are done typically by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or the State Police.Section 50 of the PMLA provides powers of a civil court to the ED authorities for summoning persons suspected of money laundering and recording statements. However, the Supreme Court held that ED authorities are not police officers. It observed in Vijay Madanlal Choudhary v. Union of India (2022) that “the process envisaged by Section 50 of the PMLA is in the nature of an inquiry against the proceeds of crime and is not ‘investigation’ in strict sense of the term for initiating prosecution.” There are other dissimilarities between ED authorities and the police. While the police are required to register a First Information Report (FIR) for a cognizable offense before conducting an investigation, ED authorities begin with search procedures and undertake their investigation for the purpose of gathering materials and tracing the ‘proceeds of crime’ by issuing summons. Any statement made by an accused to the police is inadmissible as evidence in court, whereas a statement made to an ED authority is admissible. A copy of the FIR is accessible to the accused, whereas the Enforcement Case Information Report is seldom available.While the police investigating the predicate offense are empowered to arrest and seek custody of the accused, the ED is meant to focus on recovering the proceeds of crime in order to redistribute the same to victims. It is not clear whether the ED has managed to do this. Per contra, the Proceeds of Crime Act, 2002, the analogous legislation in the U.K., almost entirely concentrates on the confiscation of assets through dedicated civil proceedings. Unfortunately, of late, much of the ED’s powers have been discharged in effecting pretrial arrests, which used to be the prerogative of the police investigating the predicate offence. In the past, the CBI was used to impart fear among political opponents. In the process, the agency received the condemnation of various courts and earned the nickname “caged parrot”. Whether the ED will go down the same path or reorient its approach will entirely depend on the intervention of the country’s constitutional courts.Q.Which of the following is not the appropriate cause-and-effect relationship in the passages context?

Paragraph: False imprisonment occurs when a person intentionally restricts another person’s movement within any area without legal authority, justification or consent. A false imprisonment claim may be made based upon private acts, or upon wrongful governmental detention. Actual physical restraint is not necessary for false imprisonment to occur. Even if a lecturer locks his class in the lecture room after the usual timefor dismissal has arrived, that is false imprisonment; so, too, if a person be restrained from leaving his own house or any part of it, or be forcibly detained in the public streets. Furthermore, as laid down in the case of Meering v Graham White Aviation, any act which fulfills the conditions of a false imprisonment, would still be held to constitute that offence, even if the person who was being falsely imprisoned had no knowledge about the same.Under English Law, however, the police have been empowered to arrest and detain a person under principles of prompt investigation, for such purposes as gaining evidence or taking statements, under the conditions set out in Police and Criminal Evidence Act, 1984, Code G. In the United Kingdom, a case was brought to the High Court concerning the alleged unlawful detention of hundreds of members of the public during the May Day riots of 2001 in London, England. The police, using the tactic of "kettling", held a large crowd in Oxford Circus for several hours without allowing anyone to leave. Lois Austin, a peaceful protester who had not broken the law, and Geoffrey Saxby, an innocent passer-by who was not even involved in the demonstration, claimed that they were falsely imprisoned by the London Metropolitan Police and that their detention was in breach of the European Convention of Human Rights.The pair lost their court action in 2005, when the High Court ruled that the police had not acted unlawfully. An appeal against the ruling also failed in 2007. A ruling by the House of Lords declared that even in the case of an absolute right, the High Court was entitled to take the "purpose" of the deprivation of liberty into account before deciding if human rights law applied at all.Q. Assume that another case was filed against the wrongful confinement by the police on May Dayriots. The contention raised by the lawyer arguing for the police was that an action taken by onduty policemen cannot amount to false imprisonment. On the basis of this passage, decide
