Hi, Since this is a false case of 498A, you can file a suit for defamation and mental cruelty on all the grounds you mentioned above. It can also be taken as a ground for divorce if you desire to seek so. If you like my answer, please give a good review.
question markFees refund 2 Response(s)
Dear Client, At first check the terms and conditions of the course you purchased. Check for any clauses related to refunds, service guarantees, or the provision of promised materials. Gather and document all communications with the coaching institute regarding your concerns and refund request. Draft and send a formal complaint letter to the coaching institute and give details of your grievances. If the institute does not respond to your complaint or refuses to resolve the issue, you can escalate the matter to a consumer forum. We hope that our response is helpful to you.
question markWhat is going my case: divorce case status 3 Response(s)
This cannot be done in online. You have to enquire it through Advocate or Court Clerk who has to take inspection of the matter record from the Court's Department to find out the grounds of non completion of service of Court's processes upon your wife. I feel sorry to say that it is the duty of your Lawyer to do the needful because the matter is unnecesssarily delayed due to lack of appropriate steps on your part and that's why even after expiry of more than one year,the matter is still in Service Return phase.

question markForm Filling JOB - Part time Scam 1 Response(s)
Dear client, This kind of online data entry/part-time job is being offered and operated by Fraudster companies/entities to extort money from unemployed youths. So, on receipt of such an unethical and arbitrary threat or demand from such type of Company, just ignore it because the nature of the threats itself proves their ulterior motives behind the offer. So to protect yourself from further loss, lodge a complaint(GD)/FIR against the said fraudster Company at the local police station with whatever papers/documents or digital evidence you have and serve a legal notice enclosing a copy of the police complaint(GD) informing them that you are contemplating filing a criminal suit against the Company for cheating and criminal intimidation u/s.318 and Section 351 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita(BNS). You can also report the scam to the Cyber Crime Cell of your jurisdictional area or online at https://www.cybercrime.gov.in/ to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP), Hopefully, the matter will be resolved thereafter. In case the matter is not resolved then consult with an Advocate for guidance and steps.
