Can high court order for the further investigation in rape cases? My brother is falsely implicated in the gang rape. Some villagers have conspired and prepared a mentally sick woman to make false allegations against four persons including my brother. The incident was alleged to have happened in 2021 when lockdown was declared in the state of Uttar Pradesh due to increasing cases of covid 19. In those days no one was able to leave the village. During those days the mentally sick woman was living with a lady in the village. No medical examination was conducted by the investigating officer.

However no eye witness was there to support the allegation. Entire case is built-up on the statement of the raped woman. The investigating officer has produced the charge sheet against all four accused. My advocate is suggested to file a petition in the high court under 482 for further investigation order. Can the high court direct the investigating officer to conduct a medical examination and collect evidence of an eye witness?

Can I file a case against my friend for deceitfully taking a loan on my name? Sir, my friend bought a car in my name and also took a loan in my name. He is unable to pay the EMI and is not returning the car. I need suggestions on how to get the car back. He has also given my car to someone else for money, but he is not informing me about it.

I met a guy online, and after some time, we entered a relationship on the condition that he would marry me after 4 months. We decided to live together, and he promised me that he would marry me as soon as we started living together. So, I went to his state to live with him, but after a few days, he started to fight with me and forced me to talk to his friends. One day, he beat me publicly and forced himself upon me by telling me lies. He sent me back home and blocked me, threatening me not to contact him. 

He said it was my fault that I came to his state. He also took money from me, which he is not returning, and threatened me not to complain as he’s the Don of that area. I reported it to the police, but they also said it was my fault. The court proceedings are so humiliating, and I don’t have any support. They are still forcing me to bring my mother to the police station. I don’t want to involve my parents, and they also said my identity would be revealed not only on paper but verbally. 

I am suffering from mental trauma due to this incident. I have contacted higher authorities, but they say they can’t do anything. The boy is threatening me to kill, and I have no place to live. Where should I go? He lives in XXXX, and I live in XXXX. He has blackmailed me and recorded something against me, threatening to file a police complaint.

Can I file a case for cheating for concealing the fact of living relationship? I was in a relationship for 9 years and finally, my family agreed to the marriage, and we planned to get married this December. One week before the wedding, I found out that he (who is working in Kuwait) is in a living relationship with another woman. She sent me some pictures of them together. Is there any legal action that can be taken against him for cheating?

I am a differently abled driver who drives a modified automatic car  RTO, ARAI and International approved fitment meant of differently abled drivers having a valid driving licence for the differently abled driver, Personal health Fitness certificate issued by a government hospital, insurance and RC of the car registered as an invalid carriage. After almost 18 years of driving experience, I met an accident with a person despite being way below the speed limit and road work going on. 

Later on, that person died after 4 to 5 hours in the hospital being alive and talking to people as I never fled the place but rather followed the person to the hospital behind an ambulance and informed the cops as the hospital authorities did not report the police in the initial hours of admission and was kept in loop that person suffered a broken elbow or knee to which they were treating the person. Relatives of that deceased person have not filed an FIR against me currently as informed by police so got bail. 

I came to know about the information in the First information report when the investigating officer informed I have been booked under Section 279, 338 and 304a by the cops while recording my statement and its been 2 weeks since the incident where I was informed the impounded car will be released after  RTO officials conduct a safety check of the car but it going to be 3 weeks so a bit worried if the relative of the deceased person who is 64 years sick and unaccompanied by any family member or friend at the place or vicinity of the incident may or may have lodged a false and frivolous FIR against me after a week which could be a delay in the release of the car. 

The dead person was walking on the middle road suddenly rather than the footpath provided but I am facing a problem due to the fault of the deceased person. Please advise how to go about this case and also release my car from police custody as it depends on it for basic access to my job location and quite a few places.
