My cousin is facing charges under Section 354A and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, following a court hearing. This case has been ongoing for over two years now. He’s been working at a well-known event company for the past year, but recently, someone has threatened to send details about the case to his employer and even try to get his passport cancelled (issued last year in October). What legal steps can we take to prevent this from happening?

While it’s commendable to want to protect your cousin, legally you can’t stop someone from reporting a case to his employer or attempting to have his passport cancelled. However, you can explore filing a complaint against the person threatening these actions, citing extortion or harassment under relevant sections of the IPC. It’s crucial to consult with a lawyer to assess the specific circumstances and advise on the appropriate course of action.
