A guy was really hauled before the court for a crime he didn't even commit since the allegations were bogus, the court said. In his remarks, Justice Chandra Dhari Singh stated—
“It is true that the provision under which the FIR has been lodged is one of the most heinous crimes against women; however, it is also an established fact that some people use it as a weapon to unnecessarily harass the male counterpart.”
