Legal Question in Criminal Law in India
cohabitation
My boyfriend and I lived together for
3 years and we have a daughter,
then he cheated and having a new
girlfriend, and he refused to sign on
our daughter's birth certificate
application (he admitted she is his
daughter). In this case, can I sue
him for Indian Penal Code subject to
Section 3, Sec. 415 - Cheating, Sec
493 - Cohabitation caused by a man
deceitfully inducing a belief of lawful
marriage? and can I sue him for the
damage for my life and my child's
life?

Re: cohabitation
Yes.
You may also initiate criminal and civil proceedings under the "Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act".
Re: cohabitation
Any prosecution depends on presence of essential ingredients of an offence.
If an adult woman lived willingly with an adult man and they had physical relationships etc. then offences indicated by you may not be made out.
