@satan I wish there was a simple directory, I wouldn't have to spend 5 years in law school then!
A general rule I like to say is, if you think it makes sense to have a rule for or against something, there probably is one.
Unfortunately, in India, there are no employment laws for white-collar workers. We have a new labour code that has been approved by the Parliament, but it hasn't been notified yet (and no one knows when or if it might be). You have to rely on existing case precedence or principles of law.
In India (and in common law), the party with less power in a contract or negotiation, is always favoured. So the employee (the lower the rank, the better) is given the benefit against the company, the consumer against the company, and the insurance taker against the insurance company.
For road safety, I advice never to hand over your licence or papers to the cops, always SHOW them on Digilocker and refuse to hand over your phone. If you're ever being accosted by the Police or feel like you're being extorted, DO NOT show off how well you know the law. ALWAYS be polite and ask them what is the issue and that you wish to call a senior/elder person. In India refusing to reveal your name and cooperating with the police is a cognizable offence (police can arrest without warrant). Unfortunately, do to practical reasons, it is easy for the police to make your life difficult if they wish to. Always be super polite and ask them their names and police stations. Try to ensure all dealings happen in a public place. Refuse to understand any "indications" or "indirect" gestures, always ask them to spell out what they want.
Ooh, I found the material they give to learner drivers to be very helpful in terms of traffic rules and violations. Also, there is a concept of absolute responsibility in law - ie, whoever has the more dangerous/onerous object, they have a higher duty of care. So if you're in a car and you hit a pedestrian, even if the pedestrian was a little at fault, the prima facie responsibility is yours because you are in control of the more dangerous machine.
