My brother was attacked by a group of drunk men, leaving him with a swollen face. We’ve already sought medical attention and filed a complaint. What legal steps can we take against them?

I filed a case against my husband and some family members. The police report included charges related to sexual offenses. When I went to the government hospital for a medical examination, they refused to do it without a court order or police permission. I believe my husband and his family have influenced the police to avoid a medical examination as it could prove my claims. The police are even trying to remove the serious charges from the case. How can I convince the court to order a medical examination for me, as the police are not cooperating?

I filed a police complaint against someone and they were charged under sections 354, 354D, 506, and 509. But they were arrested and released on bail within just three hours. Is this normal? I also complained to the Women’s Commission and learned that sections 420 and 164 should have been included in the original charges. How can I get these sections added now? What are the possible punishments for the crimes I’ve reported?

My friend and I started a private limited company in Bihar. We took a loan against a mortgaged property to build a factory. The land owner and her son became directors in our company. After the factory started, the land owner began threatening and harassing us. We’re not from Bihar, so we felt helpless. They even barred us from the factory. We filed a complaint last August but haven’t seen any progress. Now, they’ve filed a criminal case against us. Should I file a counter-case?

Previous Article I was hired as a Bank Mitra worker by Zero Mass Foundation, a private company in Maharashtra and a Business Correspondent of State Bank of India, in West Bengal. The circle head, ABC, collected my signature on blank documents and took Rs. 1.5 lakh from me without providing any receipt. He later refused to give me copies of these papers. After 18 months, I received a termination letter dated July 2, 2015, ending my employment agreement without any justifiable reason. I need advice on how to obtain my documents and how to rejoin my work with Zero Mass Foundation.
Next Article We got married in November 2012. Our daughter is 2 years old. My wife has been staying at her parents’ house since December 2014. She has attempted suicide three times (once before marriage and twice after) and frequently threatens to do so. She’s also become verbally abusive and I’ve found inappropriate messages and conversations with her brothers. Her parents constantly threaten legal action if we don’t take her back, but they won’t agree to a divorce or help her change her behavior. They are insistent on sending her back to our home.
