As regards the boy who is a lawyer and a member of Supreme Court Bar Association and is harassing you, you can lodge a complaint against him to the police for criminal intimidation. If the police does not act on your report then you may escalate to senior officers of police such as SSP/Commissioner of your city or DGP of your state.

Dear Querist

My opinion on your queries are as under:

How can i stop all dis. If i go ahead and marry in a court with my boyfriend what is the proceudre for that? Also can i get a legal aid or police help so that my parents and relatives will be warned through a legal notice that they cannot trouble or hurt my boyfriend or his parents in future.

Opinion: if you are willing to marry with your boyfriend and both of you are major then nobody can restrain you to do that, contact marriage registrar office and apply for marriage with your BF, you may also solemnized that marriage before Arya samaz or any other Temple of you choice, and after the solemnization of the marriage you may file an application before HC/Police for protection from your parents or relatives or any other person as per your apprehension. marriage is your fundamental right provided by Constitution of india and nobody can restrain you to do that.

Opinion on second case: You may file a complaint against that person before police, National Human Right Commission, National Commission for women, Bar Council of India and Supreme Court Chief Justice, or you may file a criminal complaint before court against him with the help of a lawyer.
