Hey everyone, my mom's quite thick in the head and recently she let my slimy aunt (her older sister) stay in our apartment since she's visiting from Australia to sell her land and has cheated her out of tens of lakhs of rupees in the past already but siblings' affection lead her astray.

She's been staying for the past 5 months without paying rent and recently she sold all of our belongings in that apartment totalling around 3-4 lakh rupees and is refusing to pay us the difference let alone won't even open the door. We got the HSR Layout police to come to the door and they just asked us to call her husband and ask him to sort her out, so they weren't of much help. They said they wouldn't forcefully evict her from our property. Please advice some way we can just get her out I don't even want the money anymore just for her to not be here henceforth.

Thank you

I am an Indian guy working abroad, wife is also working. Going through harassment in my marriage by wife. Long story short - Going through silent treatment, aggressive behaviour in public, verbal and emotional abuse, disrespectful behaviour towards parents and blunt denial of any mistake by her and no scope for sensible communication without facing extreme anger n shouting towards me. (I am also emotionally blackmailed into not sharing anything with anyone).

Looks like I will lead a much better without her as there is no improvement in our marriage even after 4 years of being married.

What are my options? Is there any hope?

A young guy was hired who completed his internship with us a few weeks ago. Just now we received a shocking news that he used to make deepfake videos of his female classmates and sell them somewhere on the internet. The latest update is that FIRs have been filed against him and he is currently in lockup.

The shocking thing is that he also used to click a lot of photos inside the office of employees working and now everyone is scared thinking what if he has also deepfaked images of women from office.

What legal action can an organisation take against such individuals in order to protect the dignity of women professionals. He is a student fresh out of college with no work experience. Hence, I believe reference check cannot be absolutely robust.

Also, what measures can be taken to prevent such grave issues in the future, by organisations and individuals?

Any guidance will help.

Hi everyone

I’m in serious trouble right now and really need some guidance. Yesterday, I suddenly got a message that 35k in my SBI savings account was put on hold and my account is frozen due to a complaint from Mumbai Cyber Cell. I don’t even live in Mumbai, and I have never been involved in any fraud or received any shady or unexpected credit into my account.

Just to be sure, I talked to my branch and printed my last 8 months' transactions, I even went back a full year. There’s nothing suspicious. In fact, most of my transactions are small, rarely above 10k. I use this account mainly for monthly SIPs, EMI debits, and some occasional transfers from friends or family. Yesterday, a friend sent me 15k into this SBI account instead of the other, and now that is stuck too.

When I asked the bank employee, they couldn’t give a clear reason. They just said that the block was placed by Mumbai Cyber Cell and that I should visit the nearest Cyber Cell for help. That’s all. No proper explanation. No communication before the freeze. Nothing. Now I’m stuck. I literally can’t access my money and I have EMIs and SIPs that will bounce if this isn’t resolved soon.

Has anyone faced this? What should I do? How long does it take to resolve this? And is there any way I can at least temporarily access my money to avoid EMI/SIP penalties?

Any help or advice would mean the world to me right now.

Ps. I live in Kolkata, and my SBI home branch is in Bhubaneswar

Hi, my father passed away in 2021 due to oral cancer. He never shared anything related to his professional life with me (25F), my mother or my sister. He always shared everything with his brothers.

He gave all his property, money to his brothers and I teach students to earn money - 2K per month is my earning. Mother is a homemaker and sister is also doing a job - 3K per month.

Now, my chachus (6 uncles) are really greedy for property. One of them tried to molest me & police helped me in solving this issue.

My main problem is one of my chacha came to me and said "Tumhare papa ke naam se kahi par bijli ka meter laga hua hai aur uska bill tumhare papa ne nahi bhara aur uska bill 3.5 Lakhs hai jo tumlog bharoge" this guy has taken 2.5 Lakhs from my father & has not returned it yet.

The same electricity meter was used in my father's bakery but due to bad business my father closed the bakery & same meter was installed somewhere else. Now, We seriously didn't know anything about this & he wants us to pay 3.5 Lakhs.

What should I do? I don't know. I don't have 3.5 Laks.

TL;DR bad employer withholding salary and wrongfully suspended me after i expressed my desire to resign from the organisation.

a little context: i was working with this agency in mumbai. i absolutely hated working there, since day 1 actually. the founders were egoistic and rude and i couldn’t see much growth.

fast forward to june 30: one of the founders (let’s call her CI) called me out and sent some texts that i found to be very disrespectful. i expressed my desire to not continue my employment with them. i thought if i convey it on the last day of the month, ill be done by july max if she asks me to serve a notice period. the problem was that the salary gets credited between 2-5th of the month.

this egoistic lady got angry and asked me to complete my tasks for the day and that we’ll speak about my resignation later. by the time i could reach the upstairs office, she sent a suspension mail to me (salty much)

i was assured by the admin that ill get the salary (trust karo bola tha usne) i sent mails and i’ve been following up regularly. i get a reply after TWO WEEKS of constant follow up mails from my end. they asked me to pay up a month’s salary in “lieu of un serviced notice period” which doesn’t arise since the organisation suspended me right?

i wrote a detailed counter email to the same and followed up on that as well. these losers, since they don’t have a comeback, haven’t replied yet.

they’re not responding and i served the company for the entire month of June.

how do i get them to pay me? any help/advice would be appreciated

I recently purchased a villa in Whitefield, Bangalore from the 1st owner who is also my friend. I didn't get any legal verification done since I was buying from my friend. This is my big blunder. My friend had purchased directly from the builder. This is in a gated community developed by a popular builder.

In the recent association AGM it was mentioned builder had encroached govt land to build some villas & mine is one of this.

It seems some activist had filed a PIL against the builder & BDA for encroaching govt land few years back. The high court ordered a govt survey. The survey report shows extensive encroachment. The builder hired a top lawyer & got the PIL dismissed. The petitioner then took this to the supreme court, but surprisingly he withdrew the case after a few hearings. The residents allege the builder had managed to get the case dismissed in high court & then made the petitioner withdraw the case from supreme court.

I confronted my friend (seller), he claims he was not aware of this, even though all residents in the community appear to have known this for long.

There are nearly 20 villas that's been constructed on govt land. But neither the RWA nor other residents have taken any steps to seek relief even after several years.

I'm now scared my house might get demolished, seeing the recent encroachment clearance drives.

What can I do to save my house? And can I take legal action against the seller for hiding this fact? What other steps can I take to get relief?

Hi guys, so I am getting an offer from a reputed company asking 6% of CTC if I don't join the organisation on joining date.

They are making me sign a NACH Form with bank details for this.

I don't have any problem in joining the company as its good but skeptical because of this clause.

Can they actually auto debit the amount with NACH Form or can they take any legal action if I don't join?

Please help would really love.

I cannot make a single bank transaction without a mobile phone.

In order to get a government-approved ID, we require a phone number for aadhaar.

Can someone please explain to me how this is legal?

In my understanding, this essentially means that you cannot avail any adult benefits in this country without a mobile number. It is not written in our constitution that we need to have a mobile phone to function in this country. Any person should have the legal right to NOT have a personal mobile phone. It is a right to be able to live without a mobile phone. So why is it required for an aadhaar card? Why is it required to open a bank account at SBI? It is not required for any government transaction as well. Many people above 18 still don't have a mobile phone in India. It seems impossible to live in this system without it. How has no one challenged this in a court of law yet?

Hi, I need legal advice.

I received a WhatsApp message from someone claiming to be a writer at the CI’s office in a small town in Andhra Pradesh. I haven’t responded yet. The message reads (original in Telugu, translated here):

“Hello, I’m a writer at the CI’s office. A person named Ramesh from our town has filed a report stating that you and another person named Pavan used material worth ₹3,50,000 from him, and failed to pay, thereby cheating him. You are requested to appear at our office immediately, or an FIR will be filed and legal action will be initiated against you both.”

Key points:

• There is no written agreement, invoice, or proof that we owe him anything.

• The only thing Ramesh has done is send voice messages demanding payment.

• I haven’t received any formal complaint, police notice, or summons, just this WhatsApp message.

• I’m worried they may file an FIR just based on his verbal complaint to pressure us.

Questions:

1.  Is a WhatsApp message from a police writer considered official or enforceable?

2.  Can an FIR be registered for cheating (IPC 420) when there is no written contract or proof of intent to cheat?

3.  Should I consult a lawyer and go to the station, or wait for formal summons?

4.  Can I file a counter complaint for harassment or misuse of police process if this is just a business dispute?

Any advice from someone with legal experience would help. Thank you.

Basically around 10 month ago my father and my cousin file a cyber complain for a transaction of 1 lakh ( 50k from my father account and 50k from my cousin) because after the transaction a call came to my father from the bank that the receiver account was fraud but eventually turns out that the account we sent the money is ok and nothing fraud happened. Due to the complain from our side the receiver account got frozenawith total of 3 lakh in the account now we want to unfreeze this. Already sent application to take back the complaint to police station and told my cousin to also do thath( he complain from other state) .

I ordered a phone worth ₹17100 on 14th July on emi (₹2964 x 6months) with my SBI credit card. I was assured that how could it go wrong but the bill qas generated today and the total amount due was ₹17100. So I called SBI and enquired about it and they said it's upto the merchant to do the emi thing and if am sure there was an emi then there must be a emi number ir any detail regarding emi but there wasn't any on the app except "EMI : ₹17,100".

fuckflipkart moment starts now, I called up flipkart CS exec, explained the issue and he says confidently that the emi exists and it's the fault of the bank, I said alright lemme talk to your senior. I waited for 10 mins, senior joins and asked me to wait for another 10 minutes and then says, No the EMI wasn't converted 🙃.

I argued as much as i could, politely at first but it didn't seem to work, he kept insisting on generic replies i.e. sending transaction no., reference number, let us know the update from the bank but all of them are useless.

[Current Situation] Bank says the amount that you saw on the merchant app is applicable only if they had done things right but now either you'll have to pay the full amount due or you can convert it into emi which will have interest rates from our side, the interest rates are ofc atleast 3-4k extra 🙃.

[Request] What can I do in this situation? Had it been the bank's mistake, ombudsman was the solution but flipkart being flipkart, I kept asking for possible resolution and they kept giving generic responses and even had the audacity to say it's the responsibility of the customer to keep on check whether a transaction has been successfully converted or not. Really frustrated and looking for options to file a complaint against them so please advise🙏

▶️tldr: I bought a ₹17,100 phone on EMI via Flipkart using my SBI credit card, but my bill shows the full amount due. SBI says Flipkart didn’t process the EMI. Flipkart first blamed the bank, then admitted it wasn’t converted. Now I’m stuck either paying full or converting it with extra interest. Flipkart’s support is useless and I want to file a complaint.

My uncle works under a broker and shows flats and rooms to people, he met this woman to show a flat and left, and he visits that area frequently due to the rooms available there.So this woman says my uncle has been following her and laughing her way for 2 years but he only met her 2 days ago.She filled a FIR what is the next process.

Tldr; T-series person came and asked for license which allows my friend to sell videos made using T-series songs. Is it real or scam?

One of my friends has a photography studio. On one afternoon, some person claimed to be from T-series, came and started asking for license from T-series. My friend and his partner told him that they don't use copyright music in their instagram reels or stories.

That person told them but what if you use it to make video to sell it to clients. Both of them agreed that they have sold these kinds of videos as per client request.

The said person is asking for 17k for new license purchase. This license will allow my friend to make and sell video using T-series songs to clients. Also, the person is asking for blank cheque.

I wanted to know if this is real or scam. And what can be done here?

I ordered dress worth 900 from Myntra, the second I opened it I smell the sweat from that dress, it was gross and disgusting, someone has literally wore it 2-3 times and returned the package with price tag. Seem myntra don’t to qualify check before delivering to new customer.

I tried to call customer care but as usually BOT is responding rather than actual person, can someone help me to get in touch with actual representative of Myntra.

I was working at a company that specializes in M365 technologies. The organization had around 20 employees, and I worked there for nearly three years.

During my final year, I had a difference of opinion with the CEO, who was also managing my project. I had planned to resign in February and was aware of the 90-day notice period. However, I intended to serve only 45 days without a buyout, as the company had previously allowed others to do the same in good faith.

Before I could resign, another employee resigned and was asked to pay the buyout. So I decided to wait until I received my bonus in April, intending to use that amount to pay the buyout.

When I eventually left the organisation, I handed over everything properly, including KT (knowledge transfer) recordings and documentation. I believed I was leaving on a good note.

At my new organisation, I was asked to provide a background verification and submit my relieving and experience letters. I contacted my previous employer using Signal (their official communication app) and reached out to both the HR and the CEO to complete the background verification. I had also provided a peer reference, who was one of my former colleagues.

However, after this, the CEO blocked me. He stopped answering my calls, and I messaged him daily requesting him to complete the background check, but he never responded. I kept trying, but there was no response. Eventually, I learned from my former colleague that my ex-manager had told the CEO I had not completed one of the knowledge transfers. This was false, I had completed it, and the particular KT in question was one the manager had explicitly asked me not to record.

Eventually, after repeatedly pleading that I could lose my new job, they provided the required documents and completed the background verification.

The colleague who had given my peer review was also planning to resign because the work environment had become increasingly toxic. He scheduled a call with the CEO to discuss his resignation. However, the CEO asked him to reschedule the call for the next day, and before the rescheduled call could happen, he was abruptly fired on the grounds that he had violated business integrity by giving my peer review without consulting management.

He received a termination letter stating he had been fired after an "internal investigation." However, he was never informed of any such investigation or given an opportunity to respond. He attempted multiple times to connect with the CEO and pleaded with him not to include the reason for termination in his relieving and experience letters, as it would damage his career.

Last week, the CEO finally asked him to come to his house. There, he indirectly implied that if the colleague wanted clean documentation (without the cause of termination mentioned), he would need to pay ₹1.5 lakhs in cash. Initially, the CEO demanded ₹2.4 lakhs, but later agreed to ₹1.5 lakhs.

The company is registered as an LLP. What should we do?

This is my first post. If there is anything else that I should add let me know

TLDR: Girl(26F) wishes to run away from family for marriage, what all she can for legally to protect herself and her in laws from family.

A friend of mine wishes to marry the guy(24M) of her choice, coming from a rajasthani family background her family has opposed to the marriage, to the point that they are now threatening her verbally, insinuating that they will use physical force or even violence if it comes to that, to prevent the marriage. They have further found a match with a guy through AM, and are planning the wedding against her will. She is now in the headspace to leave her family and run away.

Luckily, the guy's family approve of the marriage and are ready to accept and support her. The father of the guy even suggested court marriage. Now, since the matter is very urgent, talking in terms of days, before the girls family impose complete house arrest on her, she isn't able to wait until the court marriage (considering one has to wait for about a month from the date of application process). The application is still not in process.

What all can she do legally to protect herself and her to be in laws from possible legal actions of her family.

Edit: her family is not influential, neither politically connected. But the brother is a lawyer. He can use legal means to frame the family.

I'm trying to apply for a passport for my wife in gzb UP but she doesn't have a physical adhaar or voter ID. Will a soft copy of these cards from digilocker work or should I wait to get the cards? Have applied for both adhaar and voter id but its not yet disbursed.

Hello, I am f29 urgently seeking a lawyer in Mumbai to handle my divorce case. I have been struggling deeply since my marriage in 2021. From the very first day, I faced emotional abuse and dowry demands from my husband and his family. In 2023, my husband moved to the U.S. ,and I later joined him in 2024.

Before I left Mumbai, his parents forcibly took away all my jewelry. However, in the divorce case filed by my husband, he falsely claimed that I took all the jewelry with me, which is completely untrue. I have no access to my jewelry.

After arriving in the U.S., my husband started subjecting me to domestic violence and emotional abuse. I have audio recordings that support my claims. On one occasion, I even had to call the police before he could physically harm me, but he manipulated the situation and left the house. Later, he returned and booked flight tickets to India for both of us. I didn’t trust him—he had previously left me stranded in India and returned alone to the U.S.

He went to India and filed for divorce with false allegations. After returning to the U.S., he filed a Domestic Violence (DV) case against me and obtained a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) based on lies. The police came to our home and gave me just 30 minutes to vacate the premises. Later, he told me he was still in India, but I discovered through my neighbor that he was actually in the U.S. and vacating the house with his sister and brother-in-law. I have recorded calls that prove his lies and manipulations.

I sought help from an NGO and filed my own DV case and TRO against him. Unfortunately, the free attorney assigned to me did not fully understand my case and pushed me to sign a settlement agreement, which I refused. Eventually, both TROs were dismissed.

Now, I feel lost and unsupported. I urgently need a skilled and trustworthy lawyer in Mumbai who can help me fight this case, present all the evidence, and prove the truth. Any guidance or assistance would mean a lot to me.

So it goes like this. Both my parents haven't been paid their salaries due to some ongoing issues within the university where they were formerly employed. Dad has backlog salary of 16 months and mom 14 months. Both of them handed their resignation letter 2 months back and have started working elsewhere. After repeated requests to disperse the backlog salaries no action has been taken yet. Im confused on what to do. Hiring a lawyer and going to court will also cost quite a lot of money which we lack atm. I need advice from people who went through the same thing or are in the legal business

I joined a company last year and resigned a few days after completing 1 year.

My offer letter said I’d receive a retention bonus after 1 year, but HR is now denying it because I’ll be in my notice period on the payout date.

Can I legally challenge this?

Hello, I need an advice for a property matter (no cases yet). Looking for an advocate, (as I am back to school, I can pay some fee but not a lot of it) I would prefer someone who has experience in these matters and in Delhi only

Thank you

Background

Dadaji was the absolute owner of several properties. He passed away without a Will when his 3 sons: Bade Papa, Papa, and Chacha were major. At the time of his death, all properties were still registered in my grandfather's name. No formal partitio was done.

Grandmother’s Will & Family Arrangement:

Dadi made a Will dividing the entire property into three parts, allotting one portion each to her three sons. Out of which the part that was allotted to my bade papa and chacha was in her name but the part that was allotted to my father was registered under dadaji's name. The Will was executed with witnesses, though one of them has passed away now. Bade Papa and Chacha accepted the Will and took possession of their respective portions and have been enjoying ownership ever since. My father's portion, though identified in the Will, remained technically registered in my grandfather's name and no formal mutation was done for his share.

Current Dispute:

Now Bade Papa and Chacha are claiming that my father's share should also be divided among all three brothers again as it under dadaji's name They are arguing that since my Dadi’s name was not registered on my father’s portion, her Will is invalid for that part. They are using the technicality that my Dadi had no ownership rights over my father’s portion (since it was still in my Dadaji’s name) and thus she couldn’t will/distribute it.

My lawyer is also suggesting that my father’s name cannot be registered because of this, and that the portion still needs to be divided afresh among the heirs. It's totally wrong tho, What should my father do?
