When a person
working in a foreign country is meeting some psychological
harassment where can he report?
Dr.Chandramohan, Taiwan
If a person working in a foreign country is meeting some
psychological harassment, he is at liberty to report the same
to the Local Police Officer at the Jurisdictional Police
Station of that particular place and the copy of the report or
the complaint made can be forwarded with a representation to
the High Commissioner of the Embassy, to the Concerned Human
Rights Commissions and also to the Voluntary Help Groups or
Organizations known to you.
But, your question fails to mention the Person is, whether he
has obtained citizenship of that Country or not, and further
the harassment is by his relatives, outsiders or his peers at
his workplace or some where else. If the above said details
are furnished properly, it will ease us to answer you.

What is a
obiter dictum in legal parlance?
J.Susheela, Chennai
An Obiter Dictum is an observation which is not either
necessary for the decision of the case or does not relate to
the material facts in issue. It is merely an enunciation of a
principle of law by Supreme Court would amount to a
declaration of law under Art.141 of the Constitution of India.
