I work at a private organization and a colleague tried to assault me. He forced himself on me, tried to pull my clothes off, and I fought back. No one saw it happen. I reported it to the management, but they only suspended him. I’m terrified. I feel so violated and unsafe. I can’t bear to go to work. What can I do to stay safe? This happened about three weeks ago.

You have every right to feel unsafe and violated. File a formal complaint with the police under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty). You can also approach a legal aid organization for support and guidance on your rights and options.

I was arrested on October 13th, 2016, following an FIR filed on October 10th, 2016. I was initially remanded in police custody from October 14th to 16th, followed by a final remand from October 16th to 21st. I was then transferred to judicial custody on October 21st, 2016. I received temporary bail from January 5th to January 24th, 2017, but the charge sheet has not yet been submitted. Could you please advise on the process for converting my temporary bail to permanent bail?Specifically, I would like to know:1. Can I file a bail application based on the delay in submitting the charge sheet? 2. Is it mandatory for an accused person to spend 90 days in jail for the charge sheet to be submitted within that timeframe?3. If an accused person receives temporary bail before completing 90 days in jail, would they be released automatically if no charge sheet is submitted within those 90 days? Thank you for your time and guidance.
