mere demand of dowry is not an offence unless it is accompanied by cruelty and harassment. without describing the incident of cruelty and harassment, in the case and merely by bold words saying cruelty and harassment is not enough to attract sec.498A .= whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband , subjects such woman, to cruelty, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 3 years and shall also be liable for fine. P.O. Act may apply to this type of cases. [1999 [4] A.L.T. 11.4 DNOHC] ----2010 SAR CRIMINAL 695.
