Abuse of any Law is related to people who apply this law. However good a law may be, if someone wants to misuse it, any law is bound to be misused.
There are countries where laws are not misused. In these countries, you do not fear filing of false cases. You do not fear harassment by authorities.
In India, we have two problems:-
1) People do not not have generally law abiding nature. They do not like to stand in queue. The rich and influential, desire to be treated with immunity. They want to bribe and fix authorities. If such are the mindsets, then even good laws will be misused.
2) Second problem is with authorities entrusted to apply law to citizens. If they have ulterior motives to amass wealth by extorting money from law breakers, then however good a law may be, it will be misused and abused.
Point
By amending laws, evil of misuse cannot go. Focus should be on those who are asked to apply this law against citizen. If they are kept under check, laws are less likely to be misused.
