The property of a deceased grandfather is treated as ancestral property in the hands of his grandchildren. So, in the absence of any actions taken by your deceased f ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
There is no duration of time that is fixed either by the legislature or the judiciary for giving information about a crime to the police. A criminal case can be filed at any time if the punishment for the offense is more than 3 years imprisonment. The limitation period starts from the day when an offense is committed or when it comes to the knowledge of the aggrieved party or the police. There is no time limit for lodging an FIR. Delay in lodging FIR has been held to be fatal to the ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Functions that are essentially judicial in nature are the concern of the Judicial Magistrates, while functions that are "police" or administrative in nature are the concern of the Executive Magistrate. So, it is suggested to swear the affidavit before the First Class Judicial Magistrate if that meets your purpose.

A. Dear Client,
Both credit card and home loan is considered debt. In case you intend to settle one it will adversely affect your credit score and home loan too. From the query, it is not clear whether you are also a defaulter of repayment of a home loan you availed from the same Bank. So, the settlement of credit card dues shall not make you debt-free until and unless the home loan is repaid. Once a loan is not repaid by the borrower for any reason whatsoever, it is treated by the Bank as NPA and ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Lenders are not legally obliged to settle a debt lowering your outstanding debt, but because they want to protect their bottom line, they may agree to a debt settlement to avoid further financial loss. You can try to negotiate a debt settlement on your own if your pocket permits to repay the entire outstanding at a time for one-time settlement of dues, but sometimes it's typically done through third parties like debt relief companies, which you may hire to negotiate the settlement ...ReadMore

The land against the common wall may belong to the housing complex, and if the ironing shop owner's son is using it without proper authorization, it might be considered trespassing or unauthorized use of property.Municipalities often have zoning regulations that dictate the types of activities allowed in certain areas. Erecting structures or engaging in commercial activities in residential zones without the necessary permits may violate these regulations. If the structure erected by ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
In India, the laws governing succession vary depending on the religion of the deceased. Since you mentioned that your family is Hindu, the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, would apply. If your aunt did not leave a will, her property will be distributed among her legal heirs according to the rules of intestate succession. In the absence of a husband, sons, and daughters, the property would go to the mother and father equally. If the mother is not alive, the father would be entitled to the ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Cancellation of booking of flat on rent by the owner at the last hours without any information may be termed a breach of contract and a deficiency in service that incurs financial loss and harassment. Standalone return of token money cannot be the right compensation towards the ordeal faced by you on last hour cancellation of the booking. So you need to file a complaint against the owner of the Flat under Sec.35 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 before the Dist. Consumer Commissi ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
A promissory note is a legally binding promise to repay a debt. Promissory note laws vary by state, but they typically include the loan amount, loan terms and signatures from both the lending and borrowing party. When this document is signed by the borrower, it becomes a legally binding contract and the lenders can claim a refund of the loan by filing a suit under the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1938. All Promissory Notes are valid only for a period of 3 years starting from the date ...ReadMore
