India's Allahabad High Court rejected a petition for a new law to protect men from false harassment claims, saying existing laws are sufficient and gender-neutral.
The Allahabad High Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation seeking a new law to protect men from alleged harassment by estranged wives, ruling the petition lacked factual basis and relied heavily on news reports rather than concrete evidence.
The court, led by Chief Justice Arun Bhansali and Justice Kshitij Shailendra, stated existing laws already provide adequate remedies for false accusations and that judicial intervention was unwarranted.
It emphasized that gender-neutral legal protections exist and that creating a separate law for men could undermine equality and existing safeguards for women and children.
The decision underscores the judiciary’s stance that such policy matters should be addressed by the legislature, not the courts.
