A. Dear Client,

The Builder of an under-construction building bears maintenance and incidental expenses until the construction is complete and the Completion Certificate (CC) & Occupancy Certificate (OC) are obtained. The builder cannot hand over possession of flats until these certificates are secured. Once possession is granted, buyers may form and register a society under state-specific laws. Upon society formation, the builder must transfer all building charges, including maintenance, to the ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

In such instances, the police may request an indemnity bond from the victim, who must declare an obligation to pay 1.5 times the refunded amount to the bank if their claim is false or if other claims are made on the funds. Seeking guidance and steps from a legal advocate is advisable. Additionally, victims can register a cybercrime complaint at https://w ...ReadMore

To address disputes between tenants and landlords, the state-specific Rent Control Act appoints a Rent Controller or Addl Rent Controller to handle issues arising from rent agreements. In the current scenario, you can submit an application detailing your concerns to the relevant Rent Controller for amicable resolution. Seek guidance and follow the necessary steps by consulting with a legal advocate.

A. Dear Client,

The EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category is designed for individuals in the General Category with an annual income below 8 lakhs. RBA (Residents of Backward Areas) within the General Category reside in backward areas of Kashmir. However, a discriminatory amendment (OM No. 518, Sept 2019) to J&K reservation rules barred RBA residents from obtaining EWS certificates. This amendment poses a discrepancy, as a person in a backward area with a BPL certificate cannot benefit from t ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

According to Section 468 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), the time limit for filing a complaint for dowry harassment under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) is 3 years. To ensure success in a dowry case, it is recommended to file the complaint within 7 years of marriage, as cases filed beyond this timeframe may result in losing the case. Despite some individuals filing dowry cases even after 7, 10, or 15 years of marriage, the likelihood of success diminishes after ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
A boundary wall of a building or plot is a common wall for a common purpose. So without the consent of all the residents of the Building, it is not possible to demolish a common wall to meet one's purpose. You may approach the District administration or municipal authority for the purpose but that also does not ensure any relief. You may file an application in the Public Grievance Cell of the DM's Office for a resolution in the matter.
