My friend’s family filed a complaint against me because they didn’t like me talking to their daughter. The police made me sign a letter stating that if I contact her again, they might file a case against me. Is this legally right? Am I bound by this letter? If I’m caught, what kind of punishment might I face? We’re genuinely good friends and I haven’t bothered her in any way.

The police cannot force you to sign a letter restricting your contact with someone. Such a letter is not legally binding. However, if you continue to contact the girl despite her family’s objections, they could file a complaint under laws like stalking or harassment, which could lead to fines or even imprisonment.

Will there be cross-examination between the police and me in front of the magistrate at the next hearing? Or will the magistrate simply dismiss the case after reviewing the ATR without giving me a chance to speak?
