What and how Property Lawyers do their job
What’s real estate law all about? What's it that real estate lawyers do and how do they do it? These are the queries that pop up in one’s mind as one gets initiated in the real estate business and the only way one can get answers to these questions is by seeking advice. Oftentimes even after paying a couple of lakhs of rupees as a down payment on a flat, that is under construction the builder or developer does not start construction work on the plea that due to unforeseen circumstances, the construction work had to be withheld. A few months could very well have elapsed and the work may be pending. At this point, the developer/builder may be asked by the homeowner to clarify matters. Once the seemingly lackadaisical attitude of the developer is noticeable heated arguments may ensue followed by threats of a possible lawsuit by the homebuyer. The threat of a lawsuit is a deterrent for the contractor/builder who may retaliate by waiving off suing rights by signing one of the legal documents. Subsequently, the contractor who was unresponsive and had bolted would take the initiative of contacting the homebuyer. The homebuyer may ask the contractor to share copies of all relevant documents. If there is documentary evidence of waiving off suing rights amongst other rights then, in that case, it gets complicated, someone with little or no experience at all in real estate law ought to refer the case to an expert real-estate lawyer after providing initial legal advice. Real estate laws, rules, and regulations Through networking, the extent of involvement in these matters is transparent. One may realize how real estate laws, rules, and regulations may affect one's daily lives. It can be intriguing knowing what is it that the real estate lawyers exactly do and more importantly how? The answer partially is - there are real estate law courses that qualify them to practice real estate law. Call 7604047601 for consultation with registered expert property lawyers on Vidhikarya.

India’s arguably generous maternity law benefits m...
In India, working mothers-to-be are far better-of than most of their peers in the developed world, however, the country’s maternity laws are archaic. A year or two ago, the country passed the Maternity (Amendment) Bill aimed at working women and their right to paid maternity leave from 12 weeks to 26 weeks which is the world’s third-highest. There is a no-win situation nonetheless — the law is meant for companies with a headcount of at least ten employees which is just a minuscule proportion of the working women of India.This limitation in maternity benefits is an upshot of the desire of the elite of India to merely mimic policies that are both purposed and executed in the West, without any sort of fine-tuning suiting Indian conditions. The maternity bill is an exemplary bill – phantom legislation that passes laws that don't have and in all probability will not be as effective as required. Progress or that one is doing something is an illusion, and is given, but the reality is something else. There is an ideological dimension to the law which is a part and parcel of what the Indian elite believes is good, just, and prestigious in communities transcending boundaries.Symbol of progressCanada and Norway are the only two countries, with GDPs per capita of 27 and 47 times higher than India’s, respectively, provide protracted maternity leaves in comparison with India. The moot point, however, isn’t the perception of generosity, but how the law is applied.It was estimated that the vast majority of Indian women shun work. While on the one hand the unorganized sector is comprised of over 80% of women working for companies with an employee headcount of less than ten. On the other hand, the organized sector comprises of 16% women workers, who do informal work, where the maternity law is not applicable.A more realistic assumption would be that a meagre 20% of the females work in the organized sector, then the law is potentially applicable to simply 1.3% of the workforce, or not even 1% of all females.Considering these off-the-cuff calculations, the unanswered question is why would India deplete its invaluable resources on ratifying a law that is applicable to a minuscule section of its growing population.Call 7604047601 for consultation with a registered expert maternity lawyer on Vidhikarya.

About the Juvenile Laws
Juvenile Laws primarily aim at providing a special, and sensitised approach to Juveniles who have been regarded as Country’s greatest asset. These laws have a progressive intent behind them and its primary act, the “Juvenile Justice (care and Protection of Children) Act was recently amended following the event of the heinous Delhi Gang Rape that happened in 2012’s December, the Nirbhaya Case.
One of the features of Juvenile Laws is that the mode of prosecution and prescribed punishments are different. In 2014 as per the sources of Indian Express, agents of the terrorist organisation ‘Lashkar-e-Toiba’ asked its agents to claim their age to be under 18 when caught as that would make their prosecution under ‘Juvenile Justice Act’(instead of the Indian Penal Code) the maximum punishment for which is 3 years.
Regularizing and Legal Recognition of Juvenile Laws
Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015:
On 15th January, 2016 this Act came into force. It introduced the concept of ‘foster care’ in the country. Foster Care refers to the concept of foster parents nurturing children to benefit their growth and identity without maintaining control of a child’s assets or rights, the foster parents are also not under an obligation to make the foster child a legal heir to their property.
The most prominent feature of this Act is enactment of a new ‘Judicial Waiver System’ which refers to the system of circumstantial treatment of minors as adults for the processes of criminal justice system.
Corporal punishment attracts a fine of Rs. 50,000 or imprisonment up to 3 years, a person providing alcohol/drugs to child can be punished with imprisonment for a period upto 7 years and/or fine of Rs. 1,00,000. These are some of the other provisions of this Act.
For the execution of the principle of ‘Judicial Waiver System’, provision for constituting a new Juvenile Justice Board has been made. This board would consist of psychologists, sociologists, etc. who would take the decision on whether a minor should be tried as an adult or not if his crime is of a heinous nature.
Parents now get a re-consideration period of three months instead of one month if they give up their child for adoption.
