A. Dear Client,

Yes, a woman can file a case of sexual harassment or rape without having direct evidence. The absence of immediate evidence doesn't prevent someone from reporting such incidents to the police. In many cases, survivors of sexual assault may not have physical evidence due to delayed reporting, but their accounts are still taken seriously.

When a complaint is filed, the police are generally obligated to register a First Information Report (FIR) based on the survivor's statement. How ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
According to the Bangalore Bruhat Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), it is generally advised that you should not buy a DC-converted land with no katha as it comes under the B Khata category. The BBMP does not provide property approval to the property unless it has A Khata. Hence, people avoid buying DC-converted properties.

A. Dear Client,
In the given situation, you can bring the matter to the notice of the Municipal Authority or the District administration like DM/SDM/Tehashildar etc for a resolution in the matter. You can also file a suit in the Court against the errant neighbors for public nuisance under Sec.268 of IPC. An owner of a corner plot can use both sides of the corner that meets the end of two public roads. But in case of mass objection on reasonable grounds, you may not be able to exercise your right.

When dealing with an undivided inherited property, a partition deed is crafted following a court decree resulting from a partition suit initiated by the legal heirs of the deceased property owner who passed away without leaving a will. According to Hindu law of inheritance, in cases of intestate succession, every surviving legal heir is entitled to an equal share in the property.

To formalize this division, it is necessary to file a partition suit in the Civil Court, seeking a co ...ReadMore
