This query is : Resolved
One property dealer has been consistently abusing me and have been using filthy/insulting language, as the questions asked by me are such that he knows that if he answers those questions logically, then he can not justify for the business wrongs that he has already committed for which he can be easily booked under the provisions of law. Therefore, in order to apply undue pressure on me and demoralizing me, he has been consistently abusing and using filthy/insulting language against me through emails, as all the business communications are taking place through email only.
QUESTION IS, THAT WHETHER HE CAN BE BOOKED UNDER CRIMINAL LAW, AND IF YES THEN UNDER WHICH SECTION OF IPC?

Dear Mr.C S Patankar,
Agreeing with Mr.Barman in toto I would like to add that no body for that reason can exert pressure upon you without your consent and instead it should be the wrong doer who should be feeling the pressure. Take appropriate steps and book the culprit.
Best Regards
