Yes you may lodge a criminal complaint against the relatives as they are still harassing you. If they had stopped long back and you didn't do anything then you couldn't have lodged it now.
But as they are still continuing the harassment you have a legitimate cause.
If it is an continuing offence you can file complaint before local police station against the offenders
if police don’t take action file private complaint before magistrate under section 156(3) of cr pc to direct police to investigate and submit report
You can very well file complaint with the police authorities describing all the harassment and cruelty done to you.
Thanks
- Yes you can file a complaint for the continuing offence before the local police
- If no action from the police then you can send the said compliant to the higher police official
- Further , if no response then you can lodge a compliant before the magistrate under section 156(3) CrPc for lodging an FIR and legal action.
Dear sir,
At present there is no period of limitation for criminal prosecution and a court cannot throw out a complaint or a police report solely on the ground of delay although inordinate delay may be a ground for entertaining doubts about the truth of the prosecution story.
You surely can file a police complaint before the local police and state your cause.
Thank you
Since the offence is reported to have continued till date you are eligible to lodge the complaint even now based on the sufferings you were forced upon.
You can very well approach police with a neatly drafted complaint agaisnt the people who tortured you and offended you so far.
Hi, First you have to lodge a police Complaint.
Yes you can file the same in court. You don't have any bar. Limitation if any will be taken care in court not during filing of police complaint
