PrintListen to this Article
The Supreme Court has said that family members of a man should not be implicated in a dowry case just because their names have been mentioned in the complaint without any specific allegation levelled against them.
The apex court said that courts should be cautious in implicating family members as the wife sometime wants to settle scores arising out of teething problems or skirmish of domestic bickering.
A bench of justices T S Thakur and Gyan Sudha Misra said that family members should not be implicated unless FIR discloses specific allegations against the relatives who are prima facie not found to have indulged in physical and mental torture of the complainant-wife.
