Procedure to file a petition against mental abuse by a family member
13-Apr-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hi. I would like to know what steps can i take to sue somebody who has emotionally and mentally abused the people in my family, as well as spoken utter rubbish about us wherever possible. Is it better to sue? If yes then under what laws. Or is it better to get a restraining order? Also how difficult would this be if the person doing the abusing is also a family member?

First You have to file the complainant against that person in the Local Police Station then you can file the criminal before the Magistrate in case police would not take any action.

Defamation as a criminal offence is listed under section 499 of the Indian Penal Code. The punishment, mentioned under section 500, can extend upto simple imprisonment for a term of two years, or with fine, or both
Restraining orders are issued in civil defamation case.
