Beauty of democracy is I, you and we: CJI on Adultery law
Calling Section 497 (Adultery) of the IPC "unconstitutional", CJI Dipak Misra said, "The magnificent beauty of the democracy is I, you and we." "Equality is the governing principle of a system. Husband is not the master of the wife," he added. The section penalised a man and not a married woman for an affair by treating her as a victim.
