As a citizen of India there are a few legal rights that you should be aware of to ensure that you can remain safe and happy in the country. Here are 10 legal rights that every Indian should be aware of:
The Indian Law states that pregnant women employees cannot be fired.
Any hotel in India is required to provide water and toilet facilities without charging a fee.
When being arrested, the suspect should necessarily know the accusation against him/her and also on what grounds they are being arrested.
A woman can never be arrested without a woman constable being present.
A woman cannot be arrested before sunrise or after sunset.
Sons and daughters both possess equal rights to any inheritance from their parents.
It is not a criminal offence to kiss or hug in public.
It is possible for a woman to lodge an FIR at any police station at any time irrespective of the jurisdiction.
The law prohibits the victims of rape and/or assault to be forced to go to the police station to record their statements.
Women are entitled to receive free legal aid in the case of rape.
These rights among others are unknown to many people and this causes many cases of unlawful arrests and extortion. Spread the word and make India a better place.
