My husband and in-laws were arrested for dowry harassment based on my complaint. However, my mother-in-law falsely claimed she was arrested after sunset and received compensation. I publicly stated this was a lie, yet the NHRC awarded her compensation without even hearing my side of the story. Considering I was the key witness and the arrests were based on my complaint, can I speak the truth in India, even though the case is ongoing?

In India, you have the right to speak the truth, even in ongoing cases. However, it’s crucial to be mindful of potential legal repercussions for contempt of court or defamation, especially if your statements are seen as influencing the judicial process. It’s advisable to consult with a lawyer to understand the implications of your statements and ensure you exercise your rights responsibly.
