My father, a civilian, was accused in a double murder case two years ago. The court ordered the attachment of his property and declared him absconding. I haven’t been in contact with him for a long time. As a CISF personnel, I’m doing my duty, but the local police are harassing my grandparents and threatening to file a case against me under Section 216. They’re also pressuring me to provide information about my father, even though I have no knowledge of his whereabouts. What should I do in this situation?

You are not legally obligated to provide information about your father’s whereabouts to the police. However, you should consult a lawyer to understand your legal rights and options. You can also report the harassment by the police to your superiors and seek legal assistance to protect your family.

My family and I had a disagreement four years ago, and I left home without telling them. They filed a missing person report. I got back in touch after two months, and we resolved our issues. We didn’t know we needed to close the police case, so it remained open. Now, we’ve learned that the police are asking us to close it. My father wants to do so, but we’re being asked for proof of my whereabouts over the past four years, even though I was never truly missing. What can we do?

My son, living in the US, divorced his wife there. They agreed to a settlement where he paid her a sum, and she acknowledged that any Indian settlements were separate. However, his father filed a 498A case against him and his parents in India, even though the ex-wife never complained and never visited their home after the marriage. She only visited India for a short time before filing the case. The trial court granted bail, but charged them. They’ve filed to quash the FIR in the High Court, which has stayed the trial court proceedings. Can a father file this case without the daughter’s complaint? What are the chances of the FIR being quashed, especially since they are now divorced in the US? Please advise.

I got a traffic challan from the police in December 2013, payable at the DTO office. I haven’t paid it yet. I was driving my friend’s car and he’s now refusing to pay. Could I face legal trouble or court issues in the future? It’s been over a year and I haven’t received any notices.

We’ve been using this godown for the past 30 years, but we don’t have any rent receipts or a formal agreement. It belongs to a temple trust. Could we argue in court that a non-registered rent agreement was destroyed in a recent flood? We’ve complained to the police and MCD about illegal construction over 10 times since 2014, mentioning our legal possession of the godown, both in person and through emails. We also have electricity bills and complaints to the authorities. Is this enough to build a strong case in court? We lost goods worth around ₹3 lakhs. Could we file a theft case? Why doesn’t the court consider emails as legal notices?
