In our country we have near about 50 women centric biased
laws like 498a IPC (dowry harassment), PWDV (domestic violence), CRPC 125, 354 IPC,
376 IPC and many more, the list is long.
The greatness of biased laws is that all the government
agencies (police and judiciary) involved in process are bound to consider
everything a woman states as true. It initiates the machinery with registration
of FIR and rest follows. Police hardly cares for investigation in such matters
and forward maximum of them to court by filling charge sheets against all the
accused. Now comes the turn of our great judiciary which has a huge pendency of
cases. In Crime against women category alone it ended last year with 87%
pendency.
Not surprisingly a fresh matter came into news which is not new
in its type, although many of its ingredients seem illogical or imaginary but that’s
how this crime against women cases goes. A dead man and his family are accused
of dowry harassment and case was registered. The case is about Late Rakesh Pilania
who was a pass out of IIT Roorkee and was working in Royal Bank of Scotland, Gurgaon.
The case was registered against Rakesh and his family at
a police station in Hapur, Uttar Pradesh. In the FIR, the woman and her family
alleged that Rakesh was mentally ill and he tortured her mentally and
physically. They also said he demanded a dowry of Rs 10 lakh.
Rakesh's parents, however, say he was depressed due to
the constant fear of being implicated in a fake dowry case. "This took his
life. But even his death could not deter her from registering a case against
us. This clearly shows the police did not carry out proper investigation before
lodging an FIR," said his father Anand Prakash Pilania.
Sad but Rakesh’s parents are part of husband’s family who
are never heard. Due to these biased laws it is already well known to law
misusers that whatever she will speak it will be considered as truth, yes, if
she says 2+2=5 it will be considered truth. Burden of proving allegations false is on accused and opportunity comes after at least 10 years because it is a judicial
process and that too drastically slow. Arrest and bail comes first in the priority
of this process when cases are in CAW category.
Every year lakhs of innocents are forced to suicide due to
this 498a IPC but nobody care, such matters are closed by tagging them as
depression or family problems. Remember it is exactly reverse in case of women,
there is law 304B IPC called dowry death for it if due to any reason women dies
within 7 years of marriage. When such matters comes all the accused are
arrested and bail is hardly given to them by court. No involvement of husband
and his family required or if it is to be proved that such was the case it will
be done years ahead. The death of women is itself sufficient to lend the whole
husband’s family in jail for years. But nothing happens if a man dies. Look at
the statistics of suicide below.
Questions comes in mind that what if police do its work
sincerely?
Forget about this, first there a significantly high level of
corruption in police department; I feel if we find any sincere policeman in
India we should consider him like God as existence of both in human form is
considered very rare.
Second everybody is feared of Mahila Mandal. I was talking
to a policeman and asked why he did not wrote truth in investigation report ?
He told me his inability that if I do this Mahila Mandal will complain to my
seniors and I will get transfer from here, lots of other things like appraisals
and increment are linked with disciplinary actions so I can’t risk my career
and fate of my family happily settled in city here. Then I realized about how
much fear has this feminism has created in the minds of people. Nobody can deny
to the statements of a woman, forget about denying registering a FIR.
Who are these Mahila Mandal destroying the families in
India?
These are those feminists working in organizations/NGO’s and
for so called women empowerment, they conduct candle march, agitations, debates
on channels but never speaks when an innocent like Rakesh suicides. They says
they work for equality and shape their career as a great social worker but
keeps shut when innocent men dies or aquitted from court after a lifelong
battle. Politicians also support them as they can be potential vote seekers for
them. They never care for those falsely trapped in cases and never advocates
for punishment for false cases. I understand fear of punishment will decrease
the charm of these biased laws and it will be a great loss to the industry.
In this way the scenario goes on and this 4500 crores of
industry keeps on becoming more bigger and bigger on the dead bodies of
innocent men.
