Legal Question in Personal Injury in India

Mental Agony

When can a person file a case of mental agony against someone?

Are conditions for mental agony laid down anywhere in Indian Law?

Suppose a person is mentally agonised after suffering a loss in the share market by following the advice given in the newspaper, can he claim damages for the mental agony suffered?
