- This was the case which had a high support of activists for men’s rights. It revolved around the story of Arnesh Kumar who was accused of asking dowry from his wife, and his wife stated that she was forced to pay the amount and on failing to do so, she was kicked out of the house. Arnesh was seeking an anticipatory bail but could not receive so. Thus , he reached the court regarding this issue.
- The main arguments he stated were that even if convicted of accusations, temporary bails can’t be provided and that the arrest must be justifiable. This was because it was observed that for crimes with less than 7 years of imprisonment the arrest used to take place on a very speedy note without proper identification of the matter.
