Dear Client,
In the given scenario, you can serve a strong legal notice through an Advocate to the errant and unruly husband of your teacher asking him to refrain from such kinds of threats using abusive language that injures and you and your family's social status, failing which, you would take legal action against him including civil and criminal suits. Despite receipt of said notice if no change is noticed in his behaviour, you being still a minor, should first inform your parents about the incident and before the errant and unruly guy takes any unlawful action, you should make a complaint/FIR against him for blackmailing and criminal intimidation at the local police station under Sections 308 and 351(1) of BNS. Under Section 4 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, the State Government has to constitute for every district, one or more Juvenile Justice Boards consisting of a Metropolitan Magistrate or a Judicial Magistrate of First Class not being Chief Metropolitan Magistrate or Chief Judicial Magistrate for exercising the powers conferred by the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and discharging its functions relating to children in conflict with law under this Act. In the given scenario, you may approach the Juvenile Justice Board of the concerned district explaining the ordeal and threat/apprehension seeking appropriate relief in the matter. You can also seek the help of a social service organization or NGO like the Bachpan Bachao Andolan(BBA) by contacting their Complaint Cell(24 X 7) helpline, CHILD HELPLINE NUMBER 1800 102 7222, GOVT. HELPLINE NUMBER 1098, writing to the Chairperson, BBA through email to: complaints@bba.org.in. Apart from this, you can make a complaint online (https://nhrc.nic.in/complaints/complaints/how-to-file-a-complaints) to the Chairperson, the National Human Rights Commission, New Delhi and the State Human Rights Commission who are empowered to investigate complaints related to issues faced by citizen in distress by sending an email to ncw@nic.in or filing an online complaint. However, since you are a minor, your parents being natural guardian, can take all these steps on behalf of you to navigate the issue in the right way.
