Total misuse of the provision has already been expressed by the Supreme Court, even then lot of harashment but few convictions of the husband.

Though 498A case easily be initiated but charges are hardly proved.

I think your apprehension about is totally misdirected more so if you have already got bail in this case.

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 18 September 2014
you are worried about quantum of sentence.

However, as a govt servant the quantum of sentence is irrelevant as far as retention of job is concerned.

You have to keep good relations in deptt as even on acquittal on technical grounds the deptt has the liberty to initiate disciplinary action if they so desire.

nothing to add more.

98% of 498A cases are acquitted.
so no punishment for you, as false charge.

DON'T WORRY AT ALL.

If 100 persons are accused and 98 are acquitted.

How does it matter if you happen to be in in remaining 2. So defend case sincerely and not think elevated by statistics.
