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.

My friend’s colleague had a relationship with a married woman. They were both serious about it and even thought about getting married. Now, the woman has changed her mind and says she can’t go through with it. My friend feels betrayed and wants to show the woman’s husband the evidence of their relationship – pictures and messages from his phone. He wants to do it privately, not by sharing it publicly. My friend and this woman’s husband work for the same company, but in different locations. Would it be appropriate for my friend to show the evidence to the husband after his shift? Could this be considered unethical behavior according to company rules? Also, is it legally advisable to do this? The woman and her husband are Hindu.
