Mental Harrasment and Defamation Mental Harrasment and Defamation

3 months ago

My wife who is working in a PSU Bank has not got trfd to Mumbai where I stay. She used to visit for few days and return back to her parents house where she is also posted.

We never got clarity about her transfer. Based upon their commitment, when my brother called my father-in-law to check status of transfer, my father-in-law shared a letter to us on WhatsApp mentioning serious allegations against my mother.
As a response to such letter, we asked for a meeting. After the meeting, it was agreed that issues are trivial and that they will counsel my wife. After few days of this meeting, when I called them again, they said go for MCD and refused to talk to elders in family and disconnected the call. Then i received a letter from advocate containing allegations against me and my mother and also asking for MCD. I have responded to letter and also followed up on my response. There is no revert.
Isn't this mental harrasment and Defamation?

A.Dear Client,
The situation you described involves complex interpersonal issues, and it's important to approach it with legal guidance. In the context of mental harassment and defamation, you may want to consult with a lawyer to understand the specific actions that constitute these offenses under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
For potential mental harassment, you might explore sections such as 498A (cruelty by husband or his relatives) and 306 (abetment of suicide) if there are extreme circumstances. Defamation may be considered under sections 499 (defamation) and 500 (punishment for defamation).
However, it's crucial to note that legal action should be taken after careful consideration and consultation with a legal professional. They can assess the details of your case, advise you on the appropriate course of action, and guide you through the legal process. Always seek professional legal advice before proceeding with any legal action in such matters.
Thankyou
