If an agent took money fraudulently for a Japan work permit, file a case under IPC 420, 406. If police refuse to act, file a petition under Section 156(3) CrPC before the Magistrate, seeking a direction to register an FIR. If still ignored, file a private complaint under Section 200 CrPC. Send a legal notice, file a consumer/civil case, and recover money legally. Also, check if the agent is registered with the MEA and complain to the Protector of Emigrants (PoE). Keep all evidence, including messages and receipts. If police inaction continues, file a writ petition in the High Court under Article 226 to direct police action. Consulting a lawyer is advised for faster legal remedies.

Q: Can my ex wife file a defamation suit for saying the truth to her

Hi everyone, I was in 6 year long term relationship and it broke and he went to marry the girl of his parents choice. I'm planning to file a complaint. But I also wanted to talk to his wife in person/call and explain her the whole story of my version because I feel she deserves to know the truth. I even tried to talk to her family before marriage and told them everything, but still they went ahead with marriage. Can his wife file a defamation case against me or take any legal actions against me

Advocate Priya answered
If your ex deceived you with a false promise of marriage, you can file a case for cheating (IPC 415 & 417). If he had sexual relations with you under this false pretense, it may amount to rape (IPC 375 & 90). Courts consider consent invalid if obtained through deception. Instead of confronting his wife, filing a police complaint with evidence (texts, witnesses, etc.) is a stronger legal approach. However, if you contact her, she may take action against you for defamation (IPC 499 & 500) or harassment (IPC 503 & 506). Consulting a lawyer is advisable.
