Scale at which women can misuse Indian laws - A lady registered police case against 49 employees under the Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the Information Technology Act. Just because of smileys in Whats app group.

Instead of taking action on the woman for abusing law. Only the police complaint was stayed by the court.

I think I'm starting to see why India has the world's biggest men's rights community. It's not just because they breed like rabbits.

Seeking to quash the FIR, the accused employees filed a petition in the Madurai bench of the Madras high court.

When the matter came up for hearing before Justice P N Prakash, the counsel for the accused people said that the complaint did not attract none of the provisions of the afore-said three Acts.

A person has the right to express his or her feelings and views in social media. This would never amount to any harassment, said the counsel.

The complainant had already ventilated her grievance before her department which conducted departmental proceedings by summoning all people concerned and said that there was no prima facie case in the allegations. Hence, the police should have not registered the FIR, which thus needed to be quashed, he said.

Following this, the judge stayed the FIR :)
