The (back) Story for me to come up with ShadesOfKnife.in
Not a big story teller. I am also one among you, the many people in India, who routinely get implicated in false legal cases by some unscrupulous women. Nevertheless, here goes my story.
Introduction
I too was stunned to see my elderly parents falsely implicated for no crime of theirs in IPC 498A, 3/4 DP Act and Domestic Violence Cases. Initial reaction was a mix of cringing fear, utter disbelief, boundless anger, total helplessness, not in that exact order though. Scrambling for help from all friends and family and scouting for legal support. Myriad thoughts around what now, how to deal with the cases, how does the society around react, what about the name and respect earned over many decades by parents and other seniors in the home so on an so forth.
I still remember those days, before obtaining bail for my parents and myself. Very dreadful scenes rolling in front of my eyes, constant fear of something terrible happening to self or to parents. Seeing my strong father and mother in tears crushed me. No words can explain the pain. This was the phase where a minor thought would leave us exhausted and tired just for thinking about it. Lot of misguided people advised us which made the situation even worse.
Some days passed after getting bail for three of us against IPC 498A criminal case. Police demonstrated their true colors in the station by showing their fake ‘concern’ for us and assuring us their best support, of course in their ‘interest’ only.
Interval Bang
Gaining our footing in this chaos and re-organizing our lives to battle these cases took some months. Lot of consolidation around your cell numbers, addresses, jobs, investments happened. We gained confidence as we started to gather all the evidences, when (not a question of if) it comes to us to cross the opposite party.
Joined online forums and social media chat groups to understand the gravity and vile consequences of misuse of well-intended laws in India. Over the next many months, reading, chatting, posting on these knowledge repositories brought out the confidence in us. Helped make friendships of vital importance. Among the various principles, postulates, processes proposed by these various group, filtered out that essence which is applicable to my cases.
Epilogue
Consoled and convinced my parents that this turn of events are for our own good, in a sense. Have put together a To-Do list and working to complete them on time. One of those is to complete LLB. See progress being made on this front by clicking here.
