Dear Madam, There is no limitation for serious offences which are punishable above 3 years but you must lay out ground for delay. You can lodge a complaint. The limitation section is as following.

(1) Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Code, no Court shall take cognizance of an offence of the category specified in sub- section (2), after the expiry of the period of limitation.

Provisions of this Chapter shall not apply to certain economic offences, see the Economic Offences (Inapplicability of Limitation) Act, 1974 (12 of 1974 ), s. 2 end Sch. (b) one year, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year; (c) three years, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for term exceeding one year but not exceeding three years. (3) 1 For the purposes of this section, the period of limitation in relation to offences which may be tried together, shall be determined with reference to the offence which is punishable with the more severe punishment or, as the case may be, the most severe punishment.] PLEASE GIVE ME RATING AS RANK 5

I fear that a woman neighbour will file a false molestation case against me because we had a quarrel over neighbourhood issues in the past. I need to go outside city for a month on an urgent task. Can I ask police to question me after I return back to the city after a month or on phone or will they arrest me immediately without evidence? Will the police arrest me from another city or will they wait for me to return home after finishing my task?

Hello. My brother had once signed a mobile company's customer application form to buy a new sim. However, the vendor demanded more money for it than initially agreed so he refused and brought the form back. He can't find the form now. As the form was already signed someone may use it to procure a sim without his knowing as there are unscrupulous vendors who are engaged in such illegal activities. What should my brother do now ? Will filing a police complaint about the lost form be enough?
