You can file a case for domestic violence under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. Additionally, you can file a complaint against your husband and his family for criminal offenses like assault and harassment. It is recommended to consult a lawyer for legal advice and assistance in filing these cases.

I understand you’re asking about legal proof in case of a sexual assault claim. If both parties consent to the act, but later one person accuses the other of assault, what kind of evidence is needed? This is a sensitive and complex issue. I strongly advise you to seek legal counsel for personalized advice.

I was wrongly handcuffed by Punjab Police during a dowry case in January 2010. This was recorded in the Daily Diary Report. The investigating officer admitted to this under oath in court in June 2015, but couldn’t explain why. I filed a complaint in the Punjab & Haryana High Court in November 2015, but it was dismissed due to a time limit. However, I read in the Times of India that the Supreme Court allowed a similar complaint against Bihar Police involving a Navy officer who was illegally handcuffed. The Patna High Court initially dismissed it due to the time limit, but the Supreme Court issued a notice stating that there’s no time limit for such cases. Could you please share the details or case number of that Supreme Court case so I can file my own complaint? Thank you.

Last Saturday, my boss called and told me I was fired. He brought in two men who claimed I’d committed a crime in Uttar Pradesh and beat me up, trying to get my fingerprints on drugs. They threatened to have me arrested and ruin my life if I didn’t cooperate. Now they have me under their control, forcing me to do their bidding. What can I do?

I filed a case in court under Section 156(3) CrPC because the police refused to register my FIR. The court ordered the police to submit an ATR. They investigated but submitted a false report. Will the magistrate judge based solely on the ATR, or will I be given a chance to question the points mentioned in the ATR? 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?

Next Article My grandfather passed away in 1983, leaving behind some land as ancestral property. He had four sons and three daughters. All his sons together sold a part of the land in 1986 without giving any share to their sisters. The grandfather’s daughters filed a case in 1989 and received an equal share as their brothers. The sons then appealed to the district court, presenting their documents. The appellate court ruled in 2009 that the daughters were entitled to a 1/40 share (1/8 of their father’s 1/5 share). The daughters have now filed a second appeal in the Madras High Court. What is the actual share the daughters are entitled to? Can they claim a share in the already sold land?
