These are the main rights you should know

  • According to the Police Act made in the year 1861, the police officer of every state of India is always on duty. If any crime or incident happens at any place even at midnight, then the policeman has no right to say that he is not on duty, Because according to the Police Act, policemen are always on duty even without uniform.
  • If someone does not pay you by taking work from you or borrowing money from you, then you can file a complaint against that person in the court.  According to the Indian Act, if someone is not paying you, then you can file a case against that person by writing an application in the court. This is your legal right. You have three years to file a complaint against the person from whom you have taken money.

  • If the sex relation between husband and wife is not good then both can use this reason as proof of divorce.
  • In India, if you have been fined once a day for violating traffic rules, then the police officers cannot fine you again for the whole day.  For example, if you have been challaned for not wearing a helmet once a day, then you can roam without wearing a helmet till night and the traffic officer cannot fine you.
  • Women can also lodge a complaint with the police through e-mail. Delhi Police has recently given such facility to women in which women can register their complaint through e-mail sitting at home and they will not even need to come to the police station.
  • In India, many people still consider live in relationship as a legal offense.
