Dear Client,

Under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, a man’s concealment of simultaneous relationships, coupled with a false assurance that the woman is his only partner, may amount to “deceitful means”, but only if it is shown to be a material misrepresentation that directly induced her consent to sexual intercourse.

Although the provision does not expressly include suppression of facts, courts are likely to interpret “deceit” broadly to cover intentional false stat

Dear Client,

It is generally not advisable to purchase the property while the RTC still reflects the previous owner’s name, even if the seller holds a registered sale deed and claims the conversion is in his name. In Karnataka, the sale deed proves the transaction, but mutation and RTC update establish government recognition of ownership, which is crucial for title clarity, loan approvals, and future resale.

Banks usually insist on an updated RTC and mutation entries before sanctioning a

Dear Client,

If a school refuses to issue relieving documents even after you have duly served the 90-day notice, their stance is legally weak and can amount to unfair labour practice and mental harassment. Once the notice period as per your contract is completed, the employer cannot arbitrarily withhold relieving/experience documents—doing so can directly affect your livelihood and future employment. First, send a formal written notice/email to the school demanding issuance of your relieving

Dear Client,

The information provided is insufficient to give a proper legal opinion, as it is not clear which court, case type, or specific documents you are referring to.

Generally, a third party can apply for certified copies of court records by filing a copy application, but the exact procedure and requirements depend on the court rules and nature of the case.

Dear Client,

Since the flat was jointly owned, your father’s 50 percent share would pass to you through the Will, but a Will signed abroad generally requires proper proof in India before it can be relied upon for transfer. In Karnataka, buyers usually insist on probate or at least clear title proof, so you may need to get the Will legally validated and also obtain no objection or release from your sisters to avoid future disputes.

For sale, the buyer will typically require the original sale

Dear Client,

The information provided is insufficient to give a proper legal opinion on disqualification, as eligibility for judiciary and government jobs depends on specific recruitment rules, declarations made in application forms, and whether any suppression or misrepresentation occurred.

Generally, merely taking admission in another course and later discontinuing it does not create a legal issue if you have not obtained multiple degrees simultaneously and have not made any false declaratio

Dear Client,
The information provided is insufficient to give a proper legal opinion, as the procedure for issuing a warisan certificate varies by state and authority.
Generally, Aadhaar of all legal heirs is often asked for identification, but refusal by one heir does not permanently block the process. You can apply by giving details of all heirs and inform the authority that one member is not cooperating. The authority may proceed after verification or may issue the certificate mentioning all

Dear Client,

Immediate transfer on the very day of joining after maternity leave, especially without clear justification, can be challenged as unfair and discriminatory if it is linked to your maternity status. An employer cannot take adverse action merely because you availed maternity benefits.

You should send a written representation to HR objecting to the transfer, stating your circumstances, lack of prior notice, and requesting reconsideration or suitable accommodation. Keep all communicat

Dear Client,

Maintenance and settlement will be decided based on your husband’s actual earning capacity and your needs. His present income of around Rs 25 lakh is relevant, and the court will also consider that you have two dependent children. A future plan to reduce salary will not automatically reduce his liability unless he proves genuine medical incapacity. Even then, the court looks at earning capacity, not just declared income.

You can proceed with interim maintenance and press for ear

Dear Client,
If the dealer is not providing the NOC even after 1.5 years despite repeated assurances, it clearly amounts to deficiency in service and unfair trade practice, especially since the NOC is essential for transfer of ownership and lawful use of the vehicle. Legally, once you have purchased the vehicle, it is the dealer’s responsibility to ensure that all necessary documents, including the NOC (particularly if the vehicle was registered in another state or under finance), are provided
