SUSHIL KUMAR SHARMA versus UNION OF INDIA AND ORS.
Section 498A IPC is constitutionally valid. Mere possibility of misuse does not render it unconstitutional or ultra vires. Abuse of statutory provision cannot lead to invalidation; remedy lies with legislature, not judiciary. The courts must operate within the existing framework and protect the innocent while dealing with allegations.
