The Supreme Court restored the power of the police to arrest
the husband and his family members on a complaint of dowry harassment under IPC
Section 498A but retained the power of courts to grant anticipatory or regular
bail to accused. However, the court called for sensitising the investigating
officer so that indiscriminate arrests are not made without application of
mind. The bench directed the Director General of Police of each State to ensure
that investigating officers who are in charge of investigation of cases of
offences under Section 498-A IPC should be imparted rigorous training with
regard to the principles stated by this Court relating to arrest.
