Dear Sir,

f the name was entered incorrectly due to a clerical error, you can apply for correction before the Registrar of Births and Deaths of the concerned local authority (City Corporation, Municipal Council, Town Panchayat, or Gram Panchayat).

If the name was correctly entered at the time of registration but you now wish to adopt a different name, the Registrar may not make the change merely on an application.

Typically, the process involves:

Executing a notarized affidavit for change of

Dear Client

The information provided is insufficient to give a proper legal opinion. Kindly clarify whether by "8 trees" you mean shares, investments, or any other asset, provide the name of the company under liquidation, the nature and value of your investment, and whether any liquidator has been appointed.

The remedy for recovery of your investment will depend on the stage of the liquidation proceedings and your legal status as an investor or creditor. You may consult a local lawyer or advoc

Dear Client,

Since the executor named in your father's Will died before obtaining probate, probate cannot ordinarily be granted in the executor's name. You may apply to the competent court for Letters of Administration with the Will annexed under the Indian Succession Act, 1925. Once granted, it will establish your authority to administer the estate and deal with the property.

You should consult a advocate with the Will, death certificates, and property documents to initiate the appropriate

Dear Client,

Your first step should be to write to both NxtWave and Varthana Finance explaining your situation and requesting cancellation, loan restructuring, a moratorium, or a settlement option. Revoking the NACH mandate may stop the automatic debit, but it will not cancel the loan obligation, and any missed EMIs can be reported as defaults, potentially affecting your credit score and leading to recovery action. Therefore, it is advisable to communicate your financial difficulties in writin

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Agreement or Addendum to the original Agreement for Sale, expressly recording that your wife has voluntarily withdrawn from the transaction, that all rights and obligations under the agreement shall vest solely in you, and that the builder has no objection to the Sale Deed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
