My husband and in-laws have been harassing me, and my brother-in-law even tried to kill me. My father filed a police case, but they’re pressuring me to withdraw it. It’s been almost a year and a half, and they’re not responding to my requests. Can I re-open the case?

Yes, you can re-open the case. Under Indian law, you have the right to file a fresh complaint or petition the court to re-open the case if you believe there has been a miscarriage of justice or that the police have not acted upon your initial complaint.

Dear Sir, I’m Deepak, and last year I started a computer embroidery business with a partner. After six months, the partnership dissolved, and I returned my share of the money. My partner then gave this money to someone else, who hasn’t returned it. Now, my partner is demanding the money back from me, threatening to illegally take ownership of my factory if I don’t pay. He is also harassing and stopping me from working, locking me out of my factory, causing huge losses. Please advise me on how to proceed in this situation. Thank you, Deepak

Nine individuals stand accused in a case, with the main suspect, A1, missing. The trial has begun without him. Prosecutors claim A1 was the mastermind behind the crime, yet his address in the charge sheet lists Kerala, while details surrounding the crime suggest he lives in Andhra Pradesh. No evidence has been presented to connect these two addresses, and the prosecution has remained silent on this discrepancy. Could this silence undermine their conspiracy theory?
