you can file a suit for restitution of conjugal rights before the concerned family court. If this doesn't work then it means she is having an affair with someone else. At last you cannot force your wife to come to you and divorce is the only option you are left with.

Q: Regarding the dispute between me my brother and father

I have constructed a house in the land of my father as per my father's instruction by taking a loan from bank. Now my brother forcefully wants to construct a house on the same building and my father supports him. I am paying the EMI till today. What will be the relief I can get.

Advocate Devashish Kumar Sahoo answered
first we have to identify the nature of the property. Whether it's an ancestral property or self acquired property. If it's an ancestral property then both the brothers have equal rights over the property but as your share was declared by your father, you have to file a suit for partition for declaration of your part of share. After that you also have to file an injunction for a stay of construction by your brother.

Go by the procedure, if they do not appear or respond within the reasonable time, then you can seek for an exparte order in your favour. Every party will get a reasonable opportunity to be heard. exparte can be ordered in a routine manner

Q: I was beaten and Physically assaulted by a teacher for a small issue

I was late to school due to a Rapido delay and reached at 9:10. A teacher slapped me 15–20 times, my glasses fell twice, and my friend was hit with a steel scale. We were made to stand outside for 3 hours. Later, two girls who were also late were allowed to enter without punishment. This was humiliating and discriminatory. I request action against the staff involved.

Complain to the higher authority or Block education officer, if he doesn't listen then to the District Education officer. Give a complaint in writing to the police and keep a copy of that complaint. You can also approach the Human Rights commission for such indiscriminatory behaviour.
