NEW DELHI: The anti-dowry law is more often being misused than used and caution should be exercised by judiciary in dealing with such cases, Delhi High Court Chief Justice Vikramajit Sen said on Saturday. ``Don't allow it to happen as the misuse of Section 498(A) of the Act (which allows criminal proceedings against husbands and their relatives) often nullifies the genuineness of the cases. This is a note of caution,'' he said at a seminar here. He expressed hope that Domestic Violence Act would provide immediate relief to aggrieved women. Highlighting the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act, Sen said, ``what was found was they would really needed was civil protection and this has been the most important feature of the step.'' - PTI
