My in-laws have been harassing me, sometimes even physically, when my husband isn’t around. We’ve been married for five years and have a child. We’re happy as a couple, but these problems have been going on since the start. I’m afraid to seek legal help because I don’t want to involve my husband. He’s a well-respected doctor, and I don’t want to damage his reputation. Can I get legal help just against my in-laws?

Yes, you can seek legal help against your in-laws for harassment and physical abuse. Indian law allows you to file a complaint independently, even if your husband is not involved. You can approach a lawyer or a women’s rights organization for assistance.

My father, who is 68 years old, is currently in jail under Section 406. Could you tell me if there’s any possibility of reducing his punishment?

As a director of a private limited company in India, I’m facing a challenging situation. My business partner, also a director, has filed a criminal case against me alleging fraud under sections 420, 467, and 468. He claims I misused his signature without his knowledge, which is entirely false. However, an amount of around 12 lakhs was indeed transferred to my personal account. I founded the company and poured my heart into it, but due to financial constraints, we struggled. Sadly, I had to close the office last year, although the company hasn’t been formally wound up yet. I used my personal funds to cover business expenses, and my mistake was withdrawing some money due to my lack of accounting knowledge. I was young and placed too much trust in my partner. Despite resolving all issues with him previously and providing explanations, he’s now demanding the entire amount back. I’m seeking advice from legal experts to navigate this complex situation.

We reported our neighbour’s harassment and threats to our safety, providing details of their actions to the police. We named four people (two brothers, an uncle, and an aunt), along with a GRP officer. The police investigated and filed a case against only the two brothers, citing the age of the aunt and uncle. They said the GRP officer will be investigated separately. We didn’t get any evidence to support the case. After a few days, one of the brothers verbally abused my uncle. We filed an FIR and the brothers’ bond was cancelled. What should we do now?

My father, a retired army officer, bought a piece of land through a middleman in our village. We paid the money and got the land registered, even with the middleman signing as a witness. But a month later, we found out the “owner” was actually someone else, and the middleman had disappeared with all our money! We tried to contact him, and he admitted his crime, offering cheques that bounced. We filed a criminal case, and he got arrested, but was released on bail after a few months. He still refuses to return our money. What should we do now?

I filed a criminal complaint against four people in Dwarka Court, Delhi, accusing them of fraud and forgery related to a property I bought from their father. The property was transferred to their names after his death, and they later sold it to another person even though they knew I was the rightful owner. The court has only filed charges against the sellers under sections 467 and 34. Why hasn’t the court included the buyer in the case? How can I involve them, given that all four appear to have conspired in the sale? I had already built a fence, installed a gate, and put up my nameplate on the property. What legal options do I have against the buyer?
