Answer 6

The reason why I always tell every one to take the services of a lawyer to understand the various legal provisions of law relating the cases in which they are involved but no one listen to me & make a big fool by posting such questions in open public forum where jokes are cut on the asker of such question. The Cr.P.C. stands for the Criminal Procedure Code under which any Criminal Complaint is heard & decided by the court in India. Section 482 Criminal Procedure Code provided Inherent Power to the High Court. Section 482 Cr.P.C provides :- Nothing in this Code shall be deemed to limit or affect the inherent powers of the High Court to make such orders as may be necessary to give effect to any order this Code, or to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice.

The High Court can under its Inherent Powers under this Code can dispose off any criminal complaint to; prevent abuse of the process of any court & to secure ends of justice. In your case your husband has filled an application under this provision to get an order of the High court of Punjab & Haryana, Chandigarh to quash the F.I.R you filed under section 498A of The Indian Penal Code for the Act of Cruelty against your husband in order to extract dowry from you & your parents. The 498 Cr.P.C you talk here is actually Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code which provides: - Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty.

Whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband of a woman, subjects such woman to cruelty shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine.

Explanation-For the purpose of this section, "cruelty" means-

(a) Any willful conduct which is of such a nature as is likely to drive the woman to commit suicide or to cause grave injury or danger to life, limb or health whether mental or physical) of the woman; or

(b) Harassment of the woman where such harassment is with a view to coercing her or any person related to her to meet any unlawful demand for any property or valuable security or is on account of failure by her or any person related to her meet such demand. Hope now you understand that you made the Criminal Complain against your Husband under section 498A Indian Penal Code for dowry demand & cruelty inflicted on you & he moved the High Court under section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code for getting an order for quashing your criminal complaint. Now tell me for what reason you engaged an advocate in Chandigarh if that fellow is unable to explain this difference even after taking his professional fee from you & me not being paid a single rupee by guys like you is providing these free legal clarifications here in a public forum? What is the use of engaging advocates & paying them if you guys look for legal charities all around?
