You can ask your lawyer to formally object to the opposing lawyer’s repeated interruptions, citing the relevant provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure and the Evidence Act, particularly Section 144. You can also request the judge to issue directions to ensure fair cross-examination and prevent unnecessary delays.

My name was legally changed after college, and I updated my passport, PAN card, and driving license accordingly. But now, the RTO in Bangalore won’t issue me a Yellow Badge for a commercial driver’s license because my name on my 10th standard marksheet is different. Even the university won’t change the name on my marksheet. Since I used the same affidavit to change my passport and PAN card, why won’t they accept it now? Can I legally challenge this decision or send a notice to the RTO? Or are they right to refuse my affidavit?

Being a second-year student from Kolkata at IHM Guwahati, I faced a terrible situation. During dinner, a senior from the local area slapped and beat me up, accusing me of taking more food. The next day, I considered filing a police complaint but was hesitant because a friend posted something inappropriate on Facebook mentioning my name. To protect him, I couldn’t go ahead. The warden, seemingly siding with the senior, then harassed me, accusing me of smoking and using drugs inside my room. He completely ignored the assault and pressured me to write a letter stating I’d face punishment for any misconduct in the hostel. When I refused and said I’d talk to the principal, the warden shifted the blame and demanded a meeting with my father. He threatened to expel me if I reported anything again, completely avoiding the issue of my harassment. I’m seeking advice on how to handle this situation, where seniors and teachers seem to be acting unjustly.
