You can consider legal action against the 10 members for defamation under the Indian Penal Code. Send a legal notice demanding an apology and removal of the defamatory content. If they don’t comply, file a complaint with the police and/or a civil suit for damages.

I was in a car accident on May 18th, 2016, when my car collided with another vehicle. Thankfully, my driver and I were fine, but three people in the other car were hospitalized. They were released the following day. The police filed a case against both vehicles under sections 227/337/338/427, but didn’t name any drivers. It’s been four months, and I haven’t received any calls from the police, the other party, the court, or my lawyer. Here’s some context: 1. The people in the other car were all locals. 2. The driver of the other car was over 60 years old. 3. The other party demanded INR 70,000 in compensation after the accident, but we refused. 4. My driver took anticipatory bail three days after the accident. 5. The police released my car ten days after the accident. My question is, how much longer should I wait for a court notice or a call from the police? Could the case have been dismissed?

Previous Article I’m pursuing my MBBS in Bangalore under RGUHS. I recently appeared for my second year exams and unfortunately failed in two subjects, with a mere one mark difference in one of them. I applied for a re-evaluation and photocopy of my answer scripts. To my surprise, there’s a thirteen-mark difference between the initial and re-evaluated scores, and the final result is based on their average. Even my Head of Department believes I should have scored higher. I approached the sub-registrar at RGUHS requesting a third evaluation, as just one mark is keeping me from passing. I’m confident I can score better. But, they informed me that a third evaluation is only possible with a fifteen-mark difference, and for a thirteen-mark discrepancy, I need to file a case. Is there any way I can get a third evaluation or appeal this decision?
