Dear Client,

If a common space such as a staircase, passage, terrace, or parking area is illegally occupied, the affected person should first verify ownership and usage rights through documents like the sale deed and approved building plan, as common areas cannot be exclusively claimed under applicable property laws. A written objection should then be raised with the occupier and, if applicable, the housing society or managing committee. If the issue continues, a complaint can be filed with th

Dear Client,

Dear Client,

You can take legal action even without a written contract because an online transfer itself is valid proof of a loan. Bank statements, UPI records, chats, or messages showing that the money was given and is to be returned can support your case. You can first send a legal notice demanding repayment, then file a civil suit for recovery of money if he refuses, and in some cases, if there was dishonest intention from the beginning, you may also explore a criminal complaint for cheatin

Dear Client,

Renewal of MHADA lease does not have a fixed time limit and may take several months depending on verification and processing by the authority.

Dear Client,

Your grandfather could not have legally given entire ancestral property to only one son if it was truly ancestral property, as all legal heirs including other sons and daughters would have a share by birth. Such transfer can be challenged by other heirs unless it was his self acquired property or done with consent.

As regards compensation for the acquired 2 bigha land, the right to receive compensation follows the ownership of the land at the time of acquisition. If the land was a

Dear Client,

Yes, in your situation it is advisable to settle the property through an amicable partition deed , because after the deaths of the two brothers the ownership has already devolved legally among their respective heirs under succession laws, and now the property is in joint ownership between multiple co-sharers.

Executing a properly drafted and registered partition deed will clearly define each person’s share, prevent future disputes, and give all parties legal certainty and separ

Dear Sir,

The fact that the RTC (Record of Rights) continued in the original grantee’s name from 1960 to 1998 suggests that the mutation based on the sale deed was either not effected or not recognized by revenue authorities. This weakens the purchaser’s claim. In Karnataka, revenue entries are not conclusive title, but they are strong supporting evidence. Long continuation in the grant holder’s name indicates that the Government may still treat the land as granted land.

Dear Client,

In a road accident resulting in death, liability depends on who was driving and whether there was rash or negligent driving, so if your wife was not the rider, she generally won’t face criminal liability, and even if she was driving, a case would only arise if negligence is established through investigation, not merely because an accident happened.

You should send a written representation to HR stating that the PIP is unjustified, that you were not informed of any performance issues prior to maternity leave, and that the current action is linked to y

Dear Client,

The bank’s action is legally questionable because although banks have a right of set-off under laws like the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, that right applies to your own funds, whereas this Rs. 8,500 is admittedly an “erroneous credit” belonging to a third party, which the bank should ideally reverse rather than adjust against your dues

The fact that their own statements still show a separate lien entry for “ERRONEOUS CRED” creates a clear inconsistency and weakens thei
