One Year, No Justice for Atul Subhash | Naman Shrivastava | Bose Fellowship

It has been one year, and Atul Subhash still hasn’t received justice. His case slowly disappeared from headlines, from debates, from public memory — like so many others. The system moved on. The victim didn’t.

At the same time, Section 498A, a law meant to protect women from genuine cruelty and dowry harassment, is increasingly being misused by some to harass men and their families. False or exaggerated cases, arrests without proper investigation, long legal battles — all of this has created a deep mistrust in society.

And this is the real tragedy.
When a law is abused, real victims suffer the most.

Because now, when a genuine woman comes forward with abuse, people hesitate. They ask questions. They doubt. They compare. The line between real cases and false cases is getting blurred, not because society is insensitive, but because misuse has poisoned the system.

This is not about men versus women.
This is about justice versus misuse.

A law should protect the vulnerable, not become a weapon.
A system should punish the guilty, not destroy lives by default.

If Atul Subhash can wait a year without justice, imagine how many others are waiting quietly — men falsely accused, and women genuinely abused — both trapped in a broken system.

We don’t need weaker laws.
We need fair laws.
We need due process.
And above all, we need a justice system that distinguishes truth from misuse — instead of failing everyone.

Because when justice is delayed, trust dies.
And when trust dies, everyone loses.
