Dear Sir,

It is not legally correct to say that only the surviving son alone becomes entitled to the entire property merely because the property was originally self-acquired property of the grandfather. The crucial point is that after the grandfather’s death, the property ceased to remain his exclusive property and vested in the beneficiaries named under the Will. Thereafter, the shares belonging to deceased sons would devolve upon their respective heirs.

Grandsons may therefore claim rights

Dear client,

Minor variations or abbreviation differences such as “Md. Afjal” and “Mohammad Afjal” are generally treated as name discrepancies rather than identity changes, particularly when the remaining particulars such as surname, parentage, address, date of birth, and other supporting documents substantially match. In such situations, a notarised or First Class Judicial Magistrate affidavit declaring that “Md.” is the abbreviated form of “Mohammad” and both names refer to th

Dear client,

Being a minor aged 15 years and presently residing away from the custodial parent, if the child is facing mental harassment, emotional abuse, neglect, alcoholism within the household environment, or circumstances affecting mental health and well-being, remedies are available under Indian law.

Dear Client,

In a complaint case (CC case) pending before the Magistrate Court, where an application under Section 319 CrPC (now corresponding provision under Section 351 BNSS, if applicable) has been filed seeking to summon additional persons as accused, the stage presently described by the Court as “petitioner’s side enquiry/hearing” generally means that the Court now wants to hear the complainant/petitioner in reply to the counter filed by the proposed accused/respondents before decidi

Dear Client,

In Gujarat, registration of a sale deed before the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) may still proceed even if one co-owner’s PAN card is inoperative due to non-linking with Aadhaar, but practical difficulties can arise depending upon the nature of the transaction and the scrutiny conducted by the registering authority.

Since the property value is ₹24 lakhs, PAN details are generally required for property transactions under the Income Tax provisions. If the primary owner’s document

Dear Client,

If your case is pending with the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO), banks or institutions often keep matters like registration, relieving, or clearance on hold as a precaution, which can affect your joining in the new organisation. However, mere pendency of a vigilance inquiry does not automatically bar you from joining another job unless there is a formal suspension order or a specific restriction imposed.

You should immediately submit a written representation to your current autho

Dear Client,

Since the Special Marriage Act is a secular law, it does not generally take customary restrictions into account (unlike the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955), so as long as both individuals are legally eligible i.e., of valid age, unmarried, mentally capable, and consenting the marriage would be valid in law.

Dear Client,

You should be clear that the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) generally does not have the power to compel a bank to invoke coverage under the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises or to grant a One Time Settlement (OTS), as OTS is a matter of bank policy and commercial discretion. However, you can definitely approach the DRT to challenge any irregularities in the loan process particularly if the bank took a third-party guarantee in violation of CGTMSE guidelines,

Dear Client,

As an employee of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, your maternity leave is governed by the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, which clearly provides that even for a third child, a woman is entitled to 12 weeks of paid maternity leave.

Since you applied for only 12 weeks through the proper channel, the denial by the higher authority appears unjustified and arbitrary. You should first request the rejection in writing, then submit a formal representation to the higher KVS authorities (Regio

Dear Client,

Yes, you can take legal action as this delay is unjustified. When an employer like Capgemini creates two PF Member IDs and fails to transfer your provident fund even after resignation, it amounts to non-compliance under the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 governed by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation. You should first try resolving it through the EPFO portal by applying under “One Member One EPF Account (Transfer Request)” to merge bo
