    I have read the drafted letter and found them most appropriate and timely.No doubt that this law (if legislated) will be also as much misused as the 498A is.We should all raise our voice of protest in unison against the new legislation. We don't need more laws, we only need to plug and seal the loopholes in the existing laws so that they are used and not misused by anybody or authority.
    I shall send the drafted letter to the Minister by Tuesday.
    Regards.

    in 498A there needs to be some evidence & the courts are a little lenient coz any decision leads to family break-down.... and fights can be taken as regular fights between a couple....

    But this molestation law is completely open-ended.... no need of proofs... the girl will say that the guy pinched me on the waist..... can you in anyway prove it???? The judge will think that the guy is a goonda and will become a knight-in-shining-armour and slice the life of the guy with his shining sword.......
