Q: Legal remedy for claim for 3 year old children's custody by mother

I am Buddhist. I am the mother of two boys which are twins. my husband does not treat me well. he takes tuition at home. I am employed at NGO. I also help him in his profession as I get time. But he has influenced his two sisters on him. Both of them take most of the decisions of our married life. Both of them are married but they call him daily for hours & hours. My husband always talks to me rubbish & he beat me ( My mother in law also say rubbish & beats me). He always supports children to talk rubbish like him. After 6 yrs I have to take the decision to leave him but didn't allow me to take children with me and as I was alone I cant do anything. I cant take it any more. He always says that he will marry to other women. He also talks that I am with other men which are not at all true. I feel very bad that my husband is treating me like this. As I am working women & my children are only 3 & half year old. They need me. So, I want to ask how I can get both of them back?

Q: Will the privacy laws be affected by installing cctv outside flat?

We live in a housing society in Mumbai. We have troublesome neighbours incidentally one of them is a lawyer whose only job is filing complaints and cases against housing society. The neighbours have been throwing filth and flooding the passage outside our house with water. They indulge in such acts when the doors are closed. We intend to install cctv cameras so that we can catch the culprits redhanded. Is it legal to install cctv cameras outside our flat so that only the area outside our flat is covered. We will inform the society about it. Can the neighbours raise an objection to it? Since the privacy laws are not clear how can a person make use to cctv technology to protect oneself from such miscreants and mischief makers.

To install cctv cameras outside your flat so that only the area outside your flat is covered is not affected anyones privacy. In fact its your right to protect & Safety of yourself. You can do so, and take apropriate action.
