-Justice Shiv Narain Dhingra
Justice Dhingra is the primary reason for the existence of this blog.
A concerted effort was made to malign this great judge.
If you looked up his name on the net, before the advent of this blog, you would have just found silly articles such as “It was a crime that I was born a woman”, etc, accusing him of being a sexist, chauvinist and what not.
All of us have to thank the gods that this compassionate, intelligent and upright judge, who inspired me to fight back, escaped these attacks.
Justice Dhingra is on his way for inclusion into the pantheon of great Indian judges. He effectively finished the extortion racket called section 498A in Delhi. His judgments in this regard are now having a resounding influence around the country in enabling and empowering ordinary people to fight back.
Here is a post with what little details I could find about him: Justice SN Dhingra
The residents of Delhi have a lot to thank this judge for. Read the article below to understand what I mean:
Delhi Police: No 498A Arrests Without DCP’s Permission
This blog is my dedication to this god in the temple of justice.
Here is a collection of some of his most relevant judgments for battling 498A. Literally, these are a gift from the gods.

Sir,
I got married 2 years back. Since then I am being harassed by my in laws. Both my parents are senior citizens. In th first instance my in laws filed a case in the Tilak Nagar Branch of the CAW agaist my father , my mother and myself. This was however resolved. My father in law Mr. Jagan Nath Nangla kept on threatening me that he is well capable of sending my father , my mother, my sister, my brother in law and myself as he is retired from a high position from some govt. office. My wife has again gone to CAW at Nehru Place Branch.I do not know what my father in law Mr. Jagan Nath Nangla can do as he is so well connected. Please help me
Listen friend.
1. first of all go to the local police station and file a complain saying that you suspect your wife to file a false 498.
2. Take your mother and go to womens cell and lodge a complain there too.
3. go to every senior police officer of your areas jurisdication and give the copy of the complain.
4. if you think that your marriage is not going to last then file for a divorce before she files a 498.. that way you will have grounds for a bail.
5. consult a lawyer and speak to these helpline no.s
6. don’t sit… be proactive.. call me at 9981821414 for further help..
The laws in India are changing. they are becoming more and more pro women agreed. but is the mind set of people changing.
men are not liking that women get freedom, they do not like that we women fight the injustice including the domestic violence.
more and more courts are giving verdicts in favour of men. In the process, they are harressing the woman more, who has somehow managed to survive, and try to fight.
like every other law, there are bound to be a small percent age of people who will misuse, but then which law is not misused. but we are not here to fight those small percent of misusers. We are here to protect those large percentage of women, who have been , and are bieng supressed.
I am afraid to file a case against my in laws today, despite the laws bieng pro women, why? because the law enforcers are anti women. then is there any use of creating these laws???????it is 3 years since i am out of my matrimonial house, because my in laws want more dowry, and that i should have not given birtht o my 2 daughters, and went for abortion.
you are fighting for a small percent of women, who are misusing the laws, but have you thought about the large percent of women, who are still bieng supressed. what will you do, if your sister/daughter is harressed for dowry. will you or not file a case against the in laws. God forbid, if she is burnt , like my in laws tried to when i was pregnant. i have not taken them to the court, because i do not have proofs. domestic violence does not take place on streets, that you`ll get proofs. it take in the four walls of the house.

Hi Rakesh,
Come on. Be BOLD. Don’t behave like a feminine. We are men and we are proud of it.
Consult a good lawyer.
Never ever think of leaving this world before you win the match.
Read “Geeta” – you’ll get a lot of courage to fight the menace.
BE BOLD and PROACTIVE. DONT THINK -VE. THINK POSITIVE. AND I ASSURE THAT MORE YOU THINK POSITIVELY, MORE EASILY YOU’LL WIN THE CASE.
DR. MITU,
You agreed that todays domestic violence laws are pro-women-which in itself violates the fundamental rights of men-the right to equality!No judiciary is above the constitution of INDIA which guarantees citizens their basic human rights.It is agreed that if my sister would be harassed genuinely, I would fight for it, but never would I allow her to falsely implicate a person & bring him down from riches to rags for my sisters’ own personal gains! I presume you are in the medical profession & will understand the plight of a person like me who shot to the fame of a reputed surgeon after 10 years of rigorous & dedicated hardwork in a town in W.B.& after 13 yrs. of married life & with a child, was arrested after my wife filed a 498a at 6PM, incited the MAHILA SAMITY & the local goons to go on a rampage inside my chamber along with media people with cameras,at 7PM, dragged me out of my chamber while I was seeing patients, beaten up while my wife & her lawyer watched the FUN!
MY FAULT? I had prayed for judicial separation 2 months back,she hated my family although I was literally forced to sever ties with my family for 13yrs.-I was not allowed to attend my own 2 sisters & my brothers marriages.
Can you tell me why malafide cases won’t be brought to book by an amendment to the existing laws? Can anyone give me back my lost, hard-earned 10 golden years? Why have I to start from scratch at this age because of some lousy lady’s whims & courtesy the Indian legal system?

i have two brothers .my father is no more and mother also.iwas happily married and living well. my mother insisted me to divide the property among we three children but i refused to take property and suggest her to divide between two brothers . although my brothers never behaved me well . and after my mothers death they did not keep touch with me. i thought parents presence was only my Mayaka. i was not interested in the property.two and half years are passed of my mothers death . my brother has built his house on thland. unfortunetly iwent through ovarian cancer operation last july , chemos are going on . my bith brothers did not either come or even rang me. now i m also suffering short of money. my husband is ahigly gentle person ,he runs asmall shoep. now i want to claim for my right over the property. i m highly depressed. i have two children. no ragistry is done by my mother. the mother had given the satement in the society in the favour of brother. one part of the property belonged to my grand father.
My sister filed Civil Maintenance Suits u/s. 18 and 20 of Hindu Adoption & Maintenance Act in the Ld ADJ, On first appearance her C.A. husband filed Written Statement and before the next date he filed criminal defamation complaint u/s. 500 of IPC against her wife/my sister through same counsel (Later on Trial Court passed summoning order against my sister by writing–Arguments heard, there are sufficient grounds to proceed against accused but interestingly it was not a Speaking Order as well points of arguments not recorded by Ld. M.M.). On the next date in civil maint. suit my sister’s counsel filed a photocopy of a salary certificate even before interim order and evidence, in the presence of opposite counsel, copy given to him. In counter opposite Counsel filed an application u/s. 340 Cr.P.C. for the offences u/s. 193,467,468,471,209 and 420 with supporting affidavit on the basis of salary certificate against my sister in the same maint. suit but interestingly during the pendency of the 340 Cr.P.C. application he filed an independent crml. Complaint u/s. 465/468/34 of IPC through same counsel on the same “Salary Certificate” filing not only against her but also against me (only brother). The Trial Court issued the summon against my sister not only u/s. 465/468 as well as 471 of IPC by writing the misleading arguments of his counsel that an application u/s.340 Cr.P.C. was filed and withdrawn that why present complaint has been filed. The M.M. not given any reason of imposing a extra section(471- which is non-bailable -of 7 years imprisonment like 468)but did not summoned me meanwhile the Ld. ADJ Court passed the interm maint. order in favour of my sister and her son. During the pendency of maint suit her husband filed an application for Suspension of Maint. and my sister filed reply with effect that her son is major operated for serious ailment after receiving the reply her husband filed Divorce Suit on the grounds of Cruelty and Desertion within 5 days. It is admitted facts that my sister has not filed any crml. case except civil maint. suit even her only brother(myself) not filed any case after not summoning in forgery complaint (465/468/34 IPC), her husband admitted that he was blessed with one male child and not filed any application in any Court to meet his child , he has not sent any birthday card or gift to his child during the separation of 5 years, he has not consulted any doctor about the ailment of his child even after getting the copies of ailment documents, he prayed in his reply to maint. petition/application regarding his child for dismissal with cost, he does not offer any money for his child voluntarily , he challenged the interim maint. order in Hon’ble Delhi High Courts, All these admission recorded in his cross examination which was done by my sister herself in his complaint u/s 500 as well as 465/468 of IPC, my sister has not taken Defense in any crml. complaints filed by her husband and got acquittal order in 500 IPC and discharge order in 465/468/471 IPC and the Ld. MM found the both cases FALSE. After that her husband filed revision in 500 IPC. directly in Honble DHC which was dismissed without summoning and therefore her husband wisely filed the revision of 465/468/471 not in Hon’ble DHC but Ld. ASJ Court. Ld. ASJ issued Notice to her at 3 addresses at the instance of Counsel of husband perhaps it was done by her husband/Cousel to circulate the contents in neighbors by her husband (more particularly husband and his counsel know the exact address of my sister who is living with my family). My sister herself conducted the cross-exam. of petitioner witnesses in divorce suit and leave the right of filing the affidavits in evidence in defense so that case is fixed for Final Arguments. At present, she will has to appear in the Court of Ld. ASJ in 465/468/471 IPC. Maint. Suit is also fixed for final arguments. SO EVALUATE

Hi Sunil,
We know you are in pain, but this website is not for a place to seek relief for your pain. This purpose of this website is to provide information that may make you “aware” of the current practices in 498 related cases.
Also try not give out personal information on public sites such as these. Try to contact the ADMIN and get your personal info (name/addresss/phone number etc) deleted from the post above.
best of luck to you and may truth always win.
Sir,
I got married on 18th Aug 2006 and I was not told from my in-laws that my wife is not matured always acting as children talking nonsense can say no meaning full talks and also don’t have interest on any house hold work. I have been suffering from last 3 years and I took her treatment but she refused to take medicine given by doctors and maximum she came twice for consoling later she refused to visit doctor. Some how we were managing her if some one keep her for at least 1 month they can easily find that she is unfit even to perform day to day small job example making tea or coffee too . Mine time my mother-in-law has raised complaint at Human Rights Commission that we are not taking care of her and not giving equal status etc . On 1 Jan 2009 two officers came to our home to check if we are doing something wrong with her and they started consoling I have given them her report. I don’t know what is role of HCR in this!!! Plz advice me is this is first step for dowry act 498-A.
Hi,
Thank you for this wonderful website and help being rendered to many 498a victims.
Me and my ex are citizens of US and the courts here have granted divorce 6months ago. Our counsel would like to know if the 498a and other civil cases filed in India by my ex can be withdrawn be a written affidavit by her without me travelling to India. Is it appropriate for our counsel in US to write to advocates, magistrate and Judges in India for the advisory of withdrawing the cases in India.
Please advise.
Thanks
Ganesh

Dear All
I am 30 years old Lower middle class Kashmiri Pandit settled in Delhi, working as an elect.engg in a well known company in Noida. I was married to a Kashmiri Pandit girl in Jan 2007 from Jammu, She was also working in some IT firm in delhi, her father is a police inspector in Jammu, he is very much attached to her, as his son is living in Bombay for last 12 years, with her wife. for this reason he wanted me shift to jammu by leaving my job ,parents and my home in delhi, my wife is not self driven and she follows blindly what her parents tell her, for fulfilling this desire they started blaming my mother for each and every small issue and tried to pursue me as per they wished when they failed in this she left my house only 4 months after our marriage when she was pragnant also, then I tried to get her back and visited their relatives and her parental home several times along with my parents but she refused to come back, in the mean while she delivered a male child in jammu I visited the hospital the next day with my mother and I remained there for 3 days then I went to their home at the time of her discharge from hospital, there her father started abusing my parents badly called badnames to them when i objected he slapped me and it brokeout as a fight between us, in the meanwhile i was badly hurt at the forehead and an FIR was registered against him I was taken to a govt hospital in jammu by relatives residing nearby in jammu, my father-in-law was under arrest for that night, I was given 4 stiched in forehead and remained for 24 hrs under observation in hospital. since then my wife alongwith my 1.5 years old son is residing in her parental house in jammu .and they finally used sources, influence and money to close our FIR, eliminated all proofs showing that he was under arrest THROUGH ONLY PRODUCING one sided witnesses (interested parties), taking full advantage of being a local policeman in jammu, and filled follwing four cases against me and my relatives who visited their home to rescue me after the incident.
1. DOWRY CASE IPC-498A
2. LOOT & ATTACK with a mob CASE against 10 relatives.
3.Maintenance case IPC-125 under which I am paying her Rs4000 pm
4. DIVORSE case with a ALIMONY of Rs.1500000 or Rs 10000 pm (my salary is Rs120000 pm.)
POLICE did not even ceased my BLOOD STAINED shirt, niether they recorded our relatives statements, they didn’t provided me any vehicle to the hospital when I was badly injured. I am having blood stained shirt, FIR copy, MLC report from the govt hospital, DAINIK JAGRAN NEWSPAPER cutting stating the whole incident along with Police SP’s statement on the arrest on my father-in-law, along with application to IGP, DGP J&K police to reopen the case, with copy of orders to reopen the case to regional police station SHO. But still we are suffering badly both mentally & financially, every month I have to attend 4 cases in jammu along with my 60 years older parents, while we are stationed in delhi.
I have attached some snaps dipicting his cruelty on me and also on the public being a POLICE INSPECTOR.
I am writing this letter with a hope for some feasible solution for this problem. I REQUEST YOU ALL FOR THE SAKE OF OUR justice to our never ending trauma. I am having a younger sister also and if something is not coming out for this problem we all are forced to commit suicide.
Every time I approached her she felt that I am scared of the four court cases filled by her and her father against us. She is not in a state to take appropriate decision.
whatever we have gone through for past 2 years is the limit of mental and physical trauma, her father is misguiding her, and making gaps between us, BY DEMANDING Rs. 15,00,000 against breakage of our wedlock (Marriage). But I know that we are against this breaking of married relationship and we will not be able to pay Rs. 15,00,000 to her father as we cant afford and not having this intention TO GET SEPERATED as my son’s life will be spoiled. we never have demanded a single ruppee from them.
