I was wrongly handcuffed by Punjab Police during a dowry case in January 2010. This was recorded in the Daily Diary Report. The investigating officer admitted to this under oath in court in June 2015, but couldn’t explain why. I filed a complaint in the Punjab & Haryana High Court in November 2015, but it was dismissed due to a time limit. However, I read in the Times of India that the Supreme Court allowed a similar complaint against Bihar Police involving a Navy officer who was illegally handcuffed. The Patna High Court initially dismissed it due to the time limit, but the Supreme Court issued a notice stating that there’s no time limit for such cases. Could you please share the details or case number of that Supreme Court case so I can file my own complaint? Thank you.

The Supreme Court case you’re referring to is likely **State of Bihar v. Md. Sadiq**, where the court held that there’s no time limit for filing complaints against illegal detention or handcuffing. While this judgment might provide a basis for your case, it’s important to note that each case is unique and the Supreme Court’s decision may not be directly applicable. You should consult with a lawyer to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

My brother’s wife’s brother has a Scheduled Caste certificate, though our family belongs to the Naicker caste, which isn’t listed in the Karnataka Gazette. He’s lived rent-free on our land for two decades, in a separate house on our compound. Now he’s claiming a share of the property. After we refused, he filed a caste-based humiliation case against my brothers at the local police station. We’re unable to evict him as there’s no rental agreement.

My wife and her brother were attacked in our home by relatives who wanted them to sign a property document. We filed a complaint but didn’t press charges because they were family. Now, they’re threatening to kill us and file false charges, leaving my wife, a nursing mother with a newborn, and her elderly mother vulnerable. How can I protect my family from this escalating threat?

Previous Article My husband’s will clearly states that all his property, movable and immovable, will be mine after his passing. It specifically mentions that our daughters won’t inherit anything, and I’ll be the sole owner of our house in Chandigarh. However, the will also mentions that whatever remains after my death should be divided equally among our daughters. Following my husband’s demise, I applied to transfer the property in my name at the Chandigarh state office, but they registered it with a “lifetime interest.” When I questioned this, they said it was the correct procedure. Now, I’m unable to sell the property. What should I do? Should I seek a legal interpretation of the will or is there a quicker solution?
Next Article I worked for a Mumbai-based securities firm in Chennai. My notice period was 30 days, but I was only able to work for 20 due to my reporting manager’s delayed departure. My resignation date was postponed because of this, and HR didn’t mention any salary deductions during our phone call. However, they later deducted 10 days’ worth of salary, claiming it was company policy. My resignation was delayed because of a postponed meeting with my state head, but they haven’t addressed this issue. What can I do? The amount deducted is roughly 4500 rupees.
