My brother was admitted to a de-addiction centre in Shimla, hoping to help him overcome his struggles. He was there for a month, but when we brought him home, he was deeply disturbed and needed immediate hospital care. We later learned that he had been physically and mentally tortured during his time at the centre. He described being beaten with shoes, forced to mop the floor naked in the cold, and other harsh treatment. It’s been four months since we brought him back, and we’re still trying to help him recover. Can we take legal action against this centre for the abuse he suffered?

Yes, you can take legal action against the de-addiction centre for the abuse your brother suffered. Under Indian law, it is illegal for any institution to physically or mentally torture individuals under their care, especially those seeking treatment. You can file a police complaint and seek legal counsel to pursue appropriate action against the centre for causing harm to your brother.

The principal and police reached a compromise between the girl and the boys, but no formal police report was filed. Would this be considered sexual assault? Does the principal have the authority to act as a mediator in this situation? Can I file a separate complaint with the police about this incident?

Previous Article Dear Sir/Madam, We, a group of 300 candidates, were selected in a recent central recruitment process. The final results were announced six months ago by the concerned department. However, we haven’t received any updates regarding document verification or joining procedures despite multiple phone calls and visits to the headquarters. Could you please clarify: 1. How long should we wait before pursuing legal options regarding this delay? 2. Are there any alternative steps we can take to resolve this situation? 3. Can the department cancel the recruitment process after six months of declaring results? If so, what actions should we take? 4. Is there a time limit within which a central recruitment body can cancel their results? Thank you for your time and guidance.
Next Article My ex-wife and I, both permanent residents abroad, got a mutual divorce. We agreed on joint custody for our 5-year-old child, but later, she sought sole custody. After months of investigation, the court awarded me sole custody. Our younger child remains with her. A week later, she filed a child abuse case against me, which was dismissed after investigation. A district court subsequently granted me custody of both children. My ex-wife then returned to India and filed cases against me under the POCSO Act in Bangalore. The police dismissed these cases, and the Child Rights Commission referred the child to NIMHANS. Doctors concluded that my ex-wife had been abusing the child. The Commission ruled in my favor, ordering my ex-wife to see a psychiatrist and submit a report. I want to file defamation and harassment cases against her. Could you advise on the maintainability of these cases and the potential consequences?
