A new advocate in Chhattisgarh is seeking landmark judgments to support a bail application for a client falsely accused under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. The advocate highlights that the FIR contains typical false allegations of dowry demands and mental torture. While the Arnesh Kumar judgment suggests arrests should be exceptional for offences with less than seven years' imprisonment, the advocate notes that lower courts often don't prioritise case law during bail hearings for 498A matters. Compliance with Section 41A notice is suggested as a practical step for bail, with case laws being more impactful during appeals.
