Society must change: SC Rejects PIL Seeking Expert Panel on Dowry and Domestic Violence Law Reforms

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday declined to entertain a PIL which sought the appointment of an expert committee to review and reform the existing dowry and domestic violence laws to stop their misuse.

A bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma observed that society must change and it cannot do anything.

Declining to hear the plea, Justice Nagarathna said, "Society must change we can't do anything. Parliamentary laws are there."

The petition was filed by advocate Vishal Tiwari seeking reform in domestic violence laws and to prevent their misuse in the wake of the recent suicide of Bengaluru techie Atul Subhash.

The plea sought guidelines to prevent the misuse of such laws. (ANI)
