Peace Legal Information: Making Law Simple for Every Citizen



Introduction — purpose & scope

Peace4.in brings plain-English legal information to every person living in or visiting India. This pinned page is a gateway: it explains the site's purpose, how to navigate topic clusters, and how the law can be used to prevent harm and resolve disputes through recognised legal channels.

We focus only on Indian legal context and practical steps. Our aim is to increase legal literacy, encourage lawful behaviour, and support peaceful, constructive resolution of conflicts.

Rights & duties — equal and reciprocal

The Constitution guarantees rights to every citizen; it also imposes duties. All citizens—rich or poor, powerful or ordinary—have the same rights and the same access to justice. Equally, all citizens are legally liable for breaking the law and will face the consequences under the law.

Use your rights responsibly and avoid actions that infringe others’ rights. When wronged, rely on legal remedies—complaints, consumer forums, tribunals, or courts—rather than private retaliation.

Role of police — how to cooperate

Police officers are public servants whose duty is to protect life and property, maintain peace, and enforce the law. Cooperation with police means engaging through lawful, respectful conduct while preserving your legal rights.

Practical guidance on cooperation

  • Comply with lawful directions during checks or traffic stops.
  • Answer questions truthfully when required; avoid obstruction or false statements.
  • Record the interaction details—time, place, officer identity—if safe to do so.
  • If you believe misconduct occurred, use complaint mechanisms (supervisory offices, police complaints authority, or the courts) rather than confrontation.

Following these steps protects both public safety and your legal position.

How to use the law to protect yourself

Immediate steps

If you are affected by an incident: ensure safety, preserve evidence (photos, messages, receipts), write down facts and witnesses, and report to the correct authority (police, consumer forum, regulator) without delay.

Escalation & remedies

For persistent or serious matters, seek legal advice. Use mediation for lower-value civil disputes, consumer tribunals for consumer grievances, and courts for significant civil or criminal matters. Always prefer lawful, documented routes.
