can a divorced or widower man live in a live in relationship with a woman whose husband has deserted her 15 years back. Can they start living in live in relationship immediately after she files divorc


A. Dear Client,

In a recent judgment, the division bench of Allahabad High Court ruled that a married woman moving in with another man without divorcing her spouse cannot claim to be in a live-in relationship and seek legal sanctity later.

A. Dear Client,
A person can restart his or her life afresh at any stage or age if she or he is inspired or encouraged to do so by well-wishers. If you feel your sister can manage herself outside without the support of her in-law's family for all her needs, nothing prevents or restricts her from walking out of her matrimonial home to look for the destiny of her choice. So, your sister needs to arrange for an independent source of income to live her life on her own terms. However, in the prevailing ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
From the contents of the query, it appears that with an intention to take revenge against the Youtuber, you take the law into your own hands by changing his number and Gmail account which makes you liable to face legal consequences. To protest an illegal action of an employer, you need to opt for other legal remedies to challenge such action, but instead, you removed their number and Gmail account in your favour unauthorisedly. Accordingly, for such unauthorized access to other acco ...ReadMore

I paid emi early. Still loan company charged NACH charges . Its been month they r not replying to mail and calls. What can i do now ?


A. Dear Client,
You can connect with the bank to know the reason for deduction of NACH charges and solve the matter amicably. But, in case of inaction or unreasonable deductions by the bank, you can file a compliant to the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and to the Banking Ombudsman of RBI to resolve the matter. Further, you can also send a legal notice to the concerned bank and demand to stop the deductions.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.

icon Question on Buying 10 years old flat with registration on hold

I have shortlisted a flat but since Registration are on hold,Was planning to proceed with sale agreement and complete the registration later ,but the seller is asking for 95% of the amount and remaini


A. Dear Client,
An agreement to sell does not confer title or ownership of the property to the buyer unless it is registered in his favour following the registration formalities. So, without being a owner of the flat you legally cannot sublet it to others. When the registration of a property is on hold, without verifying the status of the title and encumbrance of that property, any investment involves a potential risk of financial loss apart from other consequences. The payment of 95% of considerat ...ReadMore
