Regarding a quarrel and fight
6 years ago
Respected Sir/Madam,
I have a friend (say A) and she stays in Mumbai with other flatmates in a rented apartment. Last night her roommate (say X) slapped her while having a conversation and was drunk. In return my friend also slapped her twice or thrice. The roommate X got a slightly swollen nose and my friend A got nail scratches on her hands. The roommate's mom calls up my friend and threatens to file FIR under 307 and do drug test and defame my friend for harming her daughter. Now my friend is scared, thing is she had some bhang one day earlier, and she's scared if that will be a problem, and if an FIR can be filed for such a small issue, she just got too scared to face any defamation. Does this case even hold any chances?

It is not a small issue to be ignored as it involves drugs and police may do anything to create evidence. If you feel they are going to lodge complaint then immediately rush to be police station and lodge complaint before they file. If their complaint is registered then immediately get anticipatory bail.
In case it takes a dirty turn then she must consult a lawyer.
