• Legal action against family member for eviction threat

I am an adult male living with my family in a government provided quarter allotted to my father. Until recently, my father threatened me of eviction and verbally abused after a dispute over a trivial matter. I would to like to know whether it is an offense to threaten eviction of a family member or verbally abuse them and threaten to physically hurt them or not. Can I file an FIR or register a case diary against this, and if so, under what laws, provisions and/or articles? Can another family member's witness be taken into account for the purposes of examining? Also, is a written deposition of witness by neighbours acceptable? Thank you very much.

This is a matter of father and son,cool down and condone him,being a adult you do not have maintenance and residence right,so any criminal case against your father does not lie.

The quarter has been provided to your father by the government. Legally speaking, you can live in the quarter only as long as your father desires to allow you to live therein. It is true that you can register a FIR for abusing and threatening you, but it is equally true that if you register a police complaint against him then he may remove you from the quarter.

You are not respecting your father and therefore, thing have reached to such a situation that he has to threaten you to evict his Govt allotted house. It will be in your interest and also in the family's interest that you leave the house immediately or change your attitude and gain the confidence of your father.
