Use of ashoka chakra

(Querist) 25 June 2014 This query is : Resolved 
We have a neighbor who is sporting a Visiting card having the Ashoka Chakra in gold embossing dead centre of the card. Below this is her name and on the left hand side is the address of the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment New Delhi address while on the right hand side is her residential address.
She owns a private vehicle with no official markings on it but it is mainly used by her husband (who is understood to be a foreign passport holder)who has been involved in huge cases with the DRI (Dept of Revenue Intelligence, was on the run for months and when caught was in their custody for a long time.
The visiting card is being flashed around to constables,toll gate attendants, etc to get away from petty crimes etc like driving on the wrong side of the road.
Lately there was an altercation in our Society where this person brought in hired goondas and they beat up members of the Society in Society premises causing grievous injury to some.
To cover this, the female in question went n filed a false molestation charge against society members so the police are refusing to accept individual assault charges of members against her, her husband and the hired goons (we hear they are foreigners too).
Society CCTV footage exists but the police are "scared" because of her visiting card.
What do we do- we know the card is bogus but do not know how to officially find out about it?
Can you give your valued legal advice

File an application u/s 256(3) crpc so the Magistrate direct the police to register the FIR and start a case.

If police not registering FIR, do it through Court. Consult a lawyer.

Your query is quite incomplete in the absence of one very important information. In the whole long description, you have not mentioned what official status/designation has mentioned, if he has pronted the address of the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment.

For your information, if he is a Gazetted Government Officer, he can use the emblem of Ashok Chakra in his visiting card.

Dear Mr Dhingra, In the visiting card there is no mention of any official status nor of a designation of the lady in question. She is never out of Mumbai for the last 6 months so cannot be in an office in New Delhi which is the office address printed on the card.
She was an air stewardess with Air India in the years gone past and has never held any other job there after getting married to this person of mixed Italian/Indian origin. This husband of hers has been a wheeler/dealer of imported cars and was in the big smuggling scam of 2010 arrested by DRI for months and is still on bail.
Positively there is no Govt officer status for either her or her husband hence prima facie it is illegal use of the Ashoka Chakra on the visiting card.
Just one point, can the Ministry employ anyone as a Class I Gazetted Government officer with no office hours and no office to attend??
