It is small situation. You should first convince your father . You have a legal right if any of your family member or anyone threatens you. But i think you should resolve this problem mutually rather than court.

Instead of going for legal action u can simply try to make him understand since he is still your guardian till you turn 18. And it the threatening is way too much. Kindly file an FIR against your father stating all the facts and dates regarding how the threatening started and how it's going on. You can even contact 100 number when any incident takes places at the very same time.

You have all rights and protection available in law against any kind of verbal physical or psychological violence from anyone including your parents. However, do consult a lawyer in person as the details and extent of violence, past history and remedy to be suggested depends on further discussions.
