Section 498A: The Supreme Court has provided relief to a husband's parents. A wife filed criminal cases under Section 498A of the IPC alleging dowry demands and cruelty. However, the court found her allegations against the in-laws to be vague and lacking specific details. The Supreme Court emphasized that mere general accusations cannot form the basis for criminal prosecution against family members.
