Chandigarh, December 31
Around 50 persons took out a candle march against the misuse of Section 498-A (dowry harassment) at the Sector 17 plaza here this evening.
They expressed resentment against the apathetic attitude of the government and judiciary towards their sufferings. These persons, who were implicated in “false” dowry harassment cases, termed 2009 as “Black Year”.
They urged the government to curb this “legal terrorism”.
They claimed that hundreds of families were being ruined by the blatant misuse of the law. They appealed to the government to take stern action against those, who misused the law to settle their scores.
