Q: What are the consequences of lying about marital status on a passport application?

Hi, I had a court marriage last year, but it has not been officially announced yet. I am now applying for a passport.

Q: What to do in case of mental harassment case against parents in india ?

I was supposed to complete my law degree in 2014, but due to family pressure, I was unable to pursue my legal career as I wanted. I had aspirations of working in the Pune Lower Court, but my parents never supported my decisions, which led me into depression. I have faced mental harassment by parents, agony, and emotional cruelty.

Currently, I am in Pune to complete my pending exams, but my parents continue to harass me, threatening that if I don’t complete my exams, they won’t allow me to return. I want to be independent, earn my own money, and follow my passion. I have been writing legal articles for law firms, but I fear being detained against my will.

What legal action against parents in India can I take in this situation? Can I file a mental harassment case against parents in India? Can I file a writ petition in the High Court under Article 226 to protect my fundamental rights from their interference?

Advocate Bigul Nanda answered
Yes, you can approach the High Court under Article 226 or the Supreme Court under Article 32 to safeguard your right to life and personal liberty. Additionally, you may file a police complaint against parents for mental harassment at the concerned police station in your area for necessary action.
