My company suddenly let me go without any warning. I had taken a loan from them and was paying it back in installments. They took a cheque from me, but it bounced. Now, I’ve received a lawyer’s notice from them, and they’ve frozen my bank account without any notification. What should I do next?

You should consult a lawyer immediately to understand your rights and options. It is illegal for your former employer to freeze your bank account without a court order. You have the right to challenge their actions and negotiate a fair settlement.

I’ve been facing serious issues like cheating, extortion, assault, trespassing, harassment and blackmail. The local police wouldn’t file a complaint (FIR). Even the police commissioner refused. So, I’m thinking of filing a private complaint under sections 200/156(3) of CrPC with the Magistrate. But local lawyers charge a lot – ₹10,000 for juniors and ₹15,000 for seniors, which I can’t afford. Can I, as a citizen, directly submit a private complaint to the Magistrate without hiring a lawyer? Or is it mandatory to have a lawyer when filing such a complaint? I’d really appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

I’ve been falsely accused under the POCSO Act, even though I’m innocent. I’ve already spent 3 months in jail during the trial.

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?
