NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has granted protection from immediate arrest to a man whose former wife lodged a dowry harassment case against him more than six months after taking divorce.
In a recent order, additional sessions judge S C Rajan restrained the police from arresting the ex-husband and in-laws and directed the cops to first serve a week's prior notice to them in case of any future decision to arrest.
The court granted the relief after advocate Prabhjit Jauhar, representing the husband, pointed out that the case for dowry harassment has surfaced over six months after the couple got divorce and alleged it was just a strategy to victimize his client. Jauhar argued the woman could not maintain a complaint against her ex-husband and her in-laws for dowry harassment as the parties were no longer living as husband and wife so as to perpetrate any kind of cruelty upon her, the FIR states.
The court granted the relief after advocate Prabhjit Jauhar, representing the husband, pointed out that the case has surfaced over six months after the couple got divorce and alleged it was just a strategy to victimize his client. The wife finally filed for divorce in the year 2010 and a family court granted a decree last year in April. The husband, in his petition, said his former wife filed a complaint in October 2013 against him and his parents, who were already living separately since 2002.
