If morphed or obscene photos are posted on social media, legal action can be taken under various sections of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act), and potentially the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, if minors are involved, with punishments ranging from imprisonment to fines.

The remedy against a squatter or illegal occupant is to file a suit for possession and, if necessary, a suit for injunction in the civil court. The rightful owner must prove their title and possession. If the illegal occupant refuses to vacate, the court can order eviction through lawful means, often with police assistance. In some cases, criminal trespass charges under the IPC may also be filed.

A title suit can be filed in a civil court under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 when a person seeks to establish ownership over immovable property. The plaintiff must submit a plaint, along with documents like sale deeds, gift deeds, partition deeds, mutation records, revenue records, and possession proof. To prove the title, the plaintiff must show a clear and lawful chain of ownership and may rely on witnesses and expert evidence. The burden of proof lies on the person asserting ownership, and the court decides the case based on documentary evidence, oral testimony, and legal principles.

Land revenue authorities are the administrative officers and bodies responsible for maintaining land records, collecting land revenue, and resolving basic land-related disputes at the preliminary level. They play a vital role before cases escalate to courts.

No, a landowner cannot evict a tenant without court proceedings. Under Indian law, eviction must follow due process, and forcibly removing a tenant without a court order is illegal and can amount to criminal trespass or harassment. Even after the lease expires, the landlord must file an eviction suit and obtain a court decree for lawful eviction. Self-help measures like locking the premises or cutting utilities are prohibited and can lead to legal action against the landlord.

If a tenant refuses to vacate the premises after the expiry of the lease, the landlord can file an eviction suit before the appropriate civil court under the applicable Rent Control Act or Transfer of Property Act, depending on the jurisdiction. The landlord must prove that the lease has legally ended and that due notice was served. If the court finds merit, it can pass a **decree of eviction** and order the tenant to vacate. Additionally, the landlord may claim mesne profits (compensation for unauthorized occupation) for the period after lease expiry.

To obtain a stay on arrest from the High Court, the accused must file a petition under **Section 482 of the CrPC** (for quashing of FIR) or seek **anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC**. The petition should clearly state the facts of the case, grounds for apprehension of arrest, and legal reasons for seeking protection. The High Court, after reviewing the petition, may issue an **interim order staying the arrest** until the matter is fully heard. The petitioner must also serve notice to the State and cooperate with the investigation as directed by the court.

Legal remedies against digital defamation on social media include filing a civil suit for damages and a criminal complaint under Section 499 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for defamation. Victims can also lodge a complaint with the cybercrime cell under the Information Technology Act, 2000, particularly Section 66A (though limited by court rulings) and Section 66D for impersonation. Additionally, users can report defamatory content directly to social media platforms for removal under the IT Rules, 2021. Courts may also grant injunctions to restrain further circulation of defamatory material online.

After the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, daughters have equal rights in ancestral property as sons. They are recognized as coparceners in the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), meaning they have the same rights and liabilities as sons, including the right to inherit, demand partition, and manage ancestral property. This applies regardless of whether the daughter is married or unmarried, and her birth in the family is sufficient to establish her rights. The amendment ensures gender equality in property inheritance among Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs.

If a person dies intestate (without a will), their property is distributed according to the personal and succession laws applicable to their religion. For Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains, the Hindu Succession Act applies, where the property typically goes to Class I heirs such as the spouse, children, and mother. For Muslims, property is divided based on Islamic inheritance laws, which assign fixed shares to specific heirs. For Christians and others, the Indian Succession Act governs the distribution. In all cases, legal heirs must follow the prescribed rules, and the estate is settled through the appropriate legal process.
