In India, a person convicted of an offense can apply for a pardon or remission based on age and other factors. Your grandfather can apply to the Governor of Andhra Pradesh for a pardon, considering his age and the fact that he has already served a portion of his sentence.

My father was convicted of two murders. He was sentenced for the second murder first, and then for the first. He’s already served the sentence for the second murder. But now, after being sentenced for the first murder, he’s serving that sentence too. Will the time he served for the second murder count towards his sentence for the first?

I’ve been friends with this girl since we worked together at a private company, back in 2013. We’ve stayed close even after I left. But for the past couple of years, she’s been pressuring me to get married. I’ve constantly explained that it’s not something my family would approve of, but she just won’t listen. She’s got a bit of a fiery temper, and last week, she even met my family and refused to leave. I’m stuck because I know she wouldn’t do anything wrong, but I’m at my wits’ end trying to convince her. What should I do? I’m feeling very stressed.

My family and I are facing a difficult situation after the High Court denied bail in the POSCO case. We’re looking for guidance on the best steps to take next. What are our options?

My family was falsely accused under Section 379 and a FIR was registered at the police station. Despite evidence showing the case was fabricated, the investigating officer (IO) only submitted a report stating it was false and didn’t include charges under sections 182 or 211, as we requested. This delay and manipulation led to a court taking cognizance against my family after 4 months. We filed a review petition with the District Judge and an RTI seeking information from the Superintendent of Police. After this, the SHO assigned another IO to investigate the case under 182/211, but the court rejected the report. Now, the court is reviewing the case while taking cognizance of the matter. What can we do to ensure justice and are there any relevant case references to support our claim?
