Dear Sir,

In these circumstances, the most appropriate course is for the developer to execute a Supplementary Agreement or Addendum to the original Agreement for Sale, expressly recording that your wife has voluntarily withdrawn from the transaction, that all rights and obligations under the agreement shall vest solely in you, and that the builder has no objection to the Sale Deed being executed exclusively in your favour. If the bank has already verified and approved the draft supplementary ag

Dear Client,
If you have not signed any employment bond or agreement containing a mandatory notice period clause, then the employer may face difficulty in legally enforcing recovery of notice pay. Merely sending a legal notice through email does not automatically create liability.

Since you have already sent a formal reply through email, it is a good step. Keep copies of:

1. Offer letter/appointment letter

2. Your resignation email

3. Employer’s legal notice

4. Your reply and all communic

Dear Client,

A Co-operative Housing Society cannot impose arbitrary or excessive penalty charges unless such charges are specifically authorized under the Society Bye-laws, approved by the General Body, and imposed following due procedure. A penalty of Rs. 6,000 per month for alleged unauthorized parking may be challenged if it is excessive, disproportionate, discriminatory, or not supported by valid resolutions and bye-law provisions.

Even if the Registrar has passed a recovery order, you can

Dear Sir,

Since your agreement has a dispute resolution clause (negotiation + arbitration), you should follow it carefully. The safest immediate step is to issue a formal legal notice invoking the clause:

State the delay, lack of approvals, and hardship (you being on rent, elderly co-owner).
Give 30 days for resolution (as per the agreement).
Clearly state that failure will lead to termination and arbitration.

This step is important because if you bypass it, the builder may later argue that t

Dear Client,

No, an increase in lease rent is generally not applicable in your situation. If a lease deed executed in 2019 clearly fixes the rent for the entire period up to 2038 and the full rent has already been paid in advance, then the terms of that agreement are binding on both parties. The landlord cannot unilaterally demand an increase unless the lease deed itself contains a specific escalation clause (for periodic rent increase) or a revision clause linked to some condition. In the abs

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. The procedure generally involves submitting an application with property documents, lease details, and payment of prescribed premium and fees, which vary case to case. Some MHADA services are available online, but lease renewal often still requires physical processing and approvals.

After expiry of a 90 year lease, the land does not automat

Dear Client,

Increase in EMI due to GST or compensation cess can be passed on to you only if your lease agreement specifically allows recovery of such tax changes. If there is no clause permitting this, the lease company cannot unilaterally increase EMIs.

You should review the agreement and send a written representation to the lease company asking for legal basis of such recovery, especially if they are eligible to claim input tax credit or refund. Practices may differ across companies dependi

Dear Client,

Based on the facts stated, the overlap between your B.Sc. and the earlier discontinued BA LL.B. course appears to be a limited and bona fide situation arising due to academic delay and subsequent discontinuation. Since you did not complete the earlier law course and have obtained a valid BA LL.B. degree from CUSB, your eligibility for appointment is based on the valid qualification.

In service law, termination or salary recovery generally arises only in cases of fraud, misrepresen

Dear Client,

Your signed appointment letter specifying a 60 day notice period forms the primary contract between you and the employer. A later unilateral change to 90 days may not automatically bind you unless it is clearly incorporated through valid amendment and acceptance. A general clause about following amended service rules does not always override a specific contractual term like notice period, especially if it materially affects your rights.

You may proceed by submitting your resignati

Dear Client,

In an international contract, the governing law clause should clearly specify which country law will apply to interpret and enforce the agreement. You can include a clause stating that the agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of a specified country.

You may also include a separate clause for jurisdiction or dispute resolution, such as specifying courts of a particular country or opting for arbitration with a defined seat and rules. The choice sh
