Husband Is Not Guilty
By Anuj Chauhan, Advocate
In the evolving framework of criminal law in India, Section 498A IPC stands as a powerful safeguard against cruelty toward married women. Yet, alongside its noble intent, courts have repeatedly encountered cases where allegations did not withstand judicial scrutiny.
Husband Is Not Guilty is a compelling legal work that dives deep into such cases—where husbands, once accused under Section 498A, were ultimately acquitted or granted relief by courts. Authored by Advocate Anuj Chauhan, the book presents a carefully researched collection of real-life judgments, offering readers a clear lens into how justice is interpreted and delivered.
Through a detailed analysis of landmark rulings, the book explores:
The fine distinction between genuine cruelty and exaggerated or false allegations
Judicial reasoning behind acquittals and quashing of FIRs
Procedural safeguards and evidentiary gaps in prosecution cases
The judiciary’s role in maintaining a balance between protecting women and preventing misuse of legal provisions
What sets this book apart is its practical approach—bridging courtroom realities with legal theory. It not only highlights the challenges faced by the accused but also underscores the responsibility of courts to ensure fairness and due process.
Designed for legal professionals, law students, researchers, and informed readers, Husband Is Not Guilty serves as both a reference guide and a thought-provoking commentary on one of the most debated provisions of Indian criminal law.
In a system where allegations can alter lives overnight, this book reinforces a fundamental principle of justice: every individual is innocent until proven guilty.
