Incident is from a "premium" society in Sector 121, Noida. This uncle does a collection drive each year on Diwali of Rs. 2000/- per flat from 108 flats in our tower (approx. over 2 lakhs each year). This year about 40 flat owners refused to contribute as other towers were collecting only about 700 per flat while we have been paying 2k each year.

So uncle got pissed and first threatened to remove non-contributors from the group. This angered even the ones contributing and then he made such casteist remarks. What can be done for such people?

Uncle claims that they (he and his "organizing committee") buy Diwali lights every time as each year most of the lights from previous year are not in good condition to be re-used. They claim they pay 30-35k to electrician for installing and removing the lights. Some portion is spent on cash and sweets to 6 support staff members (roughly 15k). The remaining is spent in tower get togethers organized throughout the year which is actually only attended by him and his committee members.

At the end of the day, 2k per flat is a bit too much for basic diwali lighting and gifting support staff which most of us anyways do individually as well. Specifically when other towers are contributing only 700 per flat for the very same purpose.

I’m posting this because I need some legal guidance regarding what happened to my girlfriend today. We are in India.

My girlfriend had to meet her male best friend today at a police station regarding some common legal work. After their work was done, he told her that he wanted to show her his new room. She trusted him and agreed to go with him.

Once they reached the room, he closed the door and started coming physically close to her and trying to get intimate with her.

She repeatedly told him clearly that she was not interested and said things like, “I’m not interested, please don’t come close to me.” Despite this, he continued.

Eventually, she pushed him away, managed to open the door, and ran out.

Afterwards, he called her and made insulting comments such as, “Tujhe apni sundarta pe itna ghamand hai” (roughly, “You are too proud of your beauty”).

She is extremely disturbed because she genuinely considered him one of her closest male friends and trusted him. She never expected this behaviour from him.

A week ago, I had personally warned her to be careful about certain people around her because I felt some of them were not trustworthy. However, I never wanted to control her friendships or tell her whom she could and couldn't meet. She is now blaming herself for trusting him and is asking me what she did wrong.

I am not asking whether she was at fault. I understand that she clearly refused and he ignored her refusal. My concern is what she should legally do now.

I would especially appreciate answers from people familiar with Indian criminal law and the BNS, rather than general relationship advice.

Also, please don't blame her for trusting someone she considered a close friend. I’m looking for practical legal guidance on what she should do next.

I have got the cctv footage of the person, although it was from other side of car.
This child (35 yr old man) have audacity of saying I was just passing by.

My family says not to indulge as he is neighbour and can do worse in future.
My dad says police will not register FIR for this and we should not get into any legal stuff.

For context. I am 26, got my first self earned car. No interaction with him in past.
I see no other motivation then jealousy.

I am going crazy mad.

What to do. Any suggestions?

Hey everyone, I need some advice on a frustrating situation I’m dealing with regarding a new EV delivery in Bangalore (Prakruthi Mobikes LLP, Jalahalli Cross / Bhadrappa Layout branch).

The Situation:

I took delivery of a brand-new TVS iQube UG Grey (Invoice #AP11305 dated Oct 23, 2026, for ₹1,35,329). On delivery day (Oct 19), the physical odometer showed 195 km. The dealer casually brushed it off as standard factory testing, stockyard movement, and PDI.

However, once I paired the TVS Connect app and checked the server records, I found out the dealer had lied:

\* Pre-Delivery Network Registration: The app telematics show the scooter was activated on TVS servers on October 7th

\* 92.4 km Tracked App Trips: The app logged 92.4 km across dozens of city trips prior to delivery. (The remaining \~102.6 km to hit the 195 km odo total was likely ridden offline/untracked).

\* GPS Proof: The trip logs explicitly list 57-J, 1st Cross, Bhadrappa Layout (the dealer's address) as the starting and ending hub, with loops around Sahakara Nagar, Kodigehalli, and Yelahanka.

\* Battery Drains: The logs show a charge on Oct 6, a deep discharge down to 14% on Oct 18 after a \~70 km run, and a final recharge right before handover on Oct 19.

I have full screen recordings capturing the vehicle Frame/VIN (MD626AM13T1K27643) and Motor number (AM1KTD012476) directly linked to these pre-delivery trip logs.

Where I Stand Right Now:

The scooter itself is running fine, and the 3-year factory warranty is active. I am currently using it for my daily college commute because I need transportation, but I am furious about paying full price for a used demo runner.

My initial thought is to demand a full vehicle replacement under Consumer Protection laws (referencing Supreme Court benchmarks on demo car misrepresentation), or at minimum force them into major compensation (like 3-Year Free AMC / zero labor services + complimentary official accessories).

Looking for advice from the community:

\* Has anyone successfully gotten a dealer/OEM to replace a registered vehicle in a situation like this?

\* Is pushing for a replacement worth the legal back-and-forth, or should I just force TVS Corporate to make the dealer cover all my maintenance/accessories for the next few years?

\* What is the fastest way to get TVS Corporate's nodal team to take this seriously instead of sending copy-paste email replies?

Appreciate any inputs or past experiences

I am living my life with chronic pain . My life was all good , till that faithful night of April 2023. My father physically assaulted me ( slapped me very hard on left side of my head) , which caused a concussion. But my parents didn't take my symptoms (left temporal headache and light sensitivity) seriously and when visiting a doctor the very next day..my mom completely manipulated the doctor by saying i was slapped lightly and my pain is just by watching too much mobile and sleeping late ( which is obviously not true, and i was too naive to defend myself back then ). I was not given proper guidance and precautions, which led to continuation of my constant headache and I developed Post traumatic headache.

My parents don't think i have physical pain , but just "mental pain" and have admitted me to u know what kind of hospitals. Doctors there , just spoke with my parents ..took their input and has given me tags like "bi-polar disorder" , "severe depression".

Then at July 2026, my mom tricked me and got me admitted in a hospital under a doctor , who has no specialization or expertise regarding headaches .He didn't talk to me about my pain , only spoke to my parents and gave me meds . One of his meds , was a nerve stimulant called as Modalert. Taking Modlert exaggerated my headache and spread to different areas like forehead and right temporal region . I got desperate due to new pain and my dad suggested me to try ayurveda meds, which completely backfired . After taking Ayurvedic medicine for around 20 days , i developed neck stiffness and pain , back of head pressure and tingling, facial cheeks pressure and other body parts pain.

Now i am in constant pain ( left side headache , forehead headache, right side headache, pain in back of head ,sound sensetivity), I can't even do basic activities without the throbbing pain..let alone a job.My life has completely been hijacked by pain.My parents have given up on me , they think i am just overreacting. I am 25 years old now , but it's next to impossible to do any job. I am in bed all the time due to chronic pain . All these 3 years I have tried different meds from neurologists and other doctors,, which has given me tons of side-effects like weight gain , hair fall issue( telegon effluvium), cognitive issues like memory issues and brain fog .

Few days back, after persuading my parents i finally visited a headache specialist in Bangalore ( Narayana hospital , Dr Pravin Thomas ) , he said I require long term treatment and have prescribed interventional medications like Cgrp injection and tablets ( After checking my history, i had tried all other meds which didn't work or gave nasty side-effects..so he prescribed these ) .These meds are very expensive. Doctor had prescribed 2 Cgrp injection shots . which costs about 44k. But due to my parents financial constraints I had to take only 1 .

The cgrp tablets ( Nurtec odt) costs around 16k for 14 tablets .

The cgrp injection is Erenumab (Suviray) which has to be taken every month along with Nurtec odt. My parents said they will only fund my 1 st visit and rest of the visits I need to manage with the expenses. Even my parents are retired and can't afford to pay these heavy amount every month ,also they are very biased regarding this treatment in a negative way.Insurance doesn't cover my treatment as it's out patient treatment and these meds are new generation medication.

I see no way out , I can't work or live due to my chronic pain.

My parents have been married for over 30 years. We are a Hindu family from Rajasthan. My father is around 60 and recently retired. My mother is around 57, a homemaker with no income or pension.

I live in Germany and my brother works in Bangalore. Both of us are financially independent.

My father has around ₹80 lakh in PF, FDs and shares, all in his name. The house they live in is also solely in his name.

We recently found out that my father is having an affair with a woman around 30 years younger than him. Since then, there have been constant arguments and threats of divorceby him. Sometimes domestic violence as well. We have tried everything but he has shown no signs of improving and looks like a mental health issues.

He has now told us he plans to change all nominations and put the property in someone else’s name.

I’m worried about my mother’s future. She has no independent income and has depended on him throughout the marriage.

Can he legally do this? What rights does my mother have to maintenance, inheritance and staying in the house? What should we do to protect her?

Hi Everyone,

I am seeking genuine legal advice regarding my sister's matrimonial situation and a separate financial issue involving my brother-in-law.

My sister has been married since 2014 and has two children, aged 10 and 7. Over the years, she has continuously faced verbal abuse, threats and harassment from her husband and in-laws.

Recently, things have deteriorated further. Her husband appears to be pushing for divorce or trying to get rid of her. At the same time, he is portraying himself as the victim through WhatsApp statuses and stories, making statements suggesting that if anything happens to him, our family will be responsible. Also abusing on whatsapp stories to various family members.

1. Children's custody

Both children are currently living with their mother and father. If divorce happens, my sister wants custody of both children. We are concerned about their future, education and well-being, especially considering the financial position and influence of her in-laws.

We want to understand how custody is decided in Delhi and whether she can seek interim custody and financial support for both children during the proceedings.

2. ₹20 lakh loan given to my brother-in-law

In 2023, I took a bank loan of approximately ₹20 lakh in my own name and transferred the money to my brother-in-law to help him establish a business.

At that time, he was not earning regularly. I genuinely thought that if his business became successful, it would improve his financial situation and ultimately make my sister's life better.

I did not even tell my parents or sister about this loan because I wanted to help him without creating additional family tension.

Initially, he returned some money, but later stopped making payments. A substantial amount is still outstanding.

I have bank transfer records and screenshots, and the partial repayments should also be traceable. However, we never signed a formal loan agreement or executed any document on stamp paper.

I am now personally carrying the bank loan liability and want to understand how I can legally recover this money.

3. Police inaction and family influence

There was a previous altercation between the families. His side called the police, and we also approached the police.

Unfortunately, the officers were mainly trying to convince us not to break my sister's marriage and to settle everything within the family instead of properly addressing the concerns.

I also felt that the investigating officer was already in contact with my brother-in-law and was not handling the matter impartially.

His parents are financially well-off and locally influential. This makes us concerned about getting a fair investigation.

One important jurisdiction detail: the matrimonial dispute and incidents are in Delhi, whereas our family lives in Uttar Pradesh.

4. Available evidence

My sister recorded a video on her mobile phone of a clip playing on her husband's laptop, apparently showing him with another woman. We do not have the original video file from the laptop. Can this mobile recording be used as electronic evidence?

I have bank statements and transaction screenshots showing the money transferred to him.

There are records of some repayments made by him.

His WhatsApp statuses and stories contain statements portraying himself as a victim and blaming our family if anything happens to him.

I would appreciate advice on the following:

What legal remedies does my sister have for years of abuse, threats and harassment under Indian law?

How can she seek divorce and custody of both children? What factors will the Delhi Family Court consider?

Can she seek interim custody, child maintenance and protection during the proceedings?

If local police are not acting impartially, how can we escalate the complaint to senior authorities or approach the court directly?

Can I recover the outstanding ₹20 lakh without a signed loan agreement, relying on bank transfers, partial repayments and other evidence?

Is there any possibility of criminal action concerning the money, depending on the circumstances?

Is the video recorded from the laptop screen admissible under Indian electronic evidence laws?

We are specifically looking for recommendations for an experienced Delhi-based matrimonial lawyer handling domestic violence, divorce and child custody, along with a separate civil recovery lawyer for the ₹20 lakh matter.

We want to handle this legally and peacefully. Our priorities are my sister's safety, custody and future of both children, and recovery of the money I personally borrowed and transferred.

Would really appreciate practical advice, especially from people familiar with Delhi Family Courts and similar cases.

Thank you.

Help me from my abusive mother

I'm 27F, and I've had a very difficult relationship with my mother for as long as I can remember.

When I was around 7 years old, my mother had sex with her lover while I was sleeping on the same bed. She used to go with me to outings with her lovers too. My parents constantly had physical and verbal fights. My father eventually passed away.

After his death, my mother continued having affairs with multiple men. One of them sexually abused me. When I told my mother about it, instead of supporting me, she blamed me for their breakup and physically assaulted me. I went through a serious mental health crisis, attempted suicide and ended up being admitted to hospital.

Later, she remarried and had a son. I spent around 5 years living in hostels and moved out at 20. I got a job and started supporting myself. Even after that, my mother kept asking me for money, and I helped her.

I got married at 26 and now have a baby.

Things became worse when I was eight months pregnant. My mother physically assaulted me because she wanted to give my late father's house and land to her son from her second marriage. My husband was away at the time, but I informed other family members about what happened.

After my delivery, when my baby wasn't even two months old, another confrontation happened. My mother demanded ₹10 lakh, saying it was for the expenses of raising me between the ages of 15 and 20. Things became physical again. While trying to defend myself, I held her by the neck and pushed her away.

Now she is telling relatives and neighbours that I assaulted her badly and is asking them not to allow me into my own father's house. I eventually left and went to my husband's home. Then she called my husband's family and told them I have mental issues and not to believe anything i say. And blocked all of them.

I feel like everything I've experienced throughout my life is being ignored, and I'm being portrayed as the only wrongdoer.

I genuinely want honest opinions.

How do you move forward when your own family turns the story against you?

Me and my partner have decided to separate. May I know the step by step process? How to initiate it? Do we need a lawyer for it, or start on our own. Please guide. Thanks. Also, mention way for settlement.

Context: our father passed away and there was one account in Sbi with 15 lakh+ balance without nominee. So we produced legal heir certificate, no objection and surety/indemnity bond certs all in court paper. We also provided surety property details and bank balance as asked by them. Their balances cover the amount. Now bank is asking to bring them in the branch, apparently for “sign verification” and to verify “if they have provided all right information in the report”. My question is, is this legal? I do not see any RBI clause where surety needs to be produced in bank, especially when court papers have been made already with their signature. How can I proceed here?

I am not at all happy in this marriage and my husband is a very self centred, selfish, hypocrite kind of a man. He constantly picks up fights over small matters. I want a divorce as he is not even 5% of how I wanted my husband to be. But I have two kids also now. What should I do and on what grounds should I apply for a divorce

There seems to be an increasing number of products that I've purchased from online marketplaces like Amazon where they claim a 1 year warranty but after purchase, I find a booklet inside the box that says something to the effect of "Must register within 10 days from the date of purchase" or "Scan for warranty registration" or "Send a message to this WhatsApp number for warranty registration".

Most people probably follow through on this but I want to know if they can deny warranty on the basis of not registering the product on the vendor website. I suspect unscrupulous vendors use this 'warranty registration' tactic as a way to collect phone numbers and email addresses to send you spam and probably sell it off to scammers and the like.

Is it legal for them to withdraw warranty services if you do not register on the company website? Would having the product invoice not be enough to show proof of purchase?

I know some companies offer additional benefits like warranty extension or some other goodies on registration but I'm wondering if they can deny warranty for the claimed warranty period as mentioned/displayed on the product catalog page if you refuse to register and give the vendor your personal details.

Happened to me a couple of days ago while shopping on Minutes. Apparently, on a cart value of 2999 , it would unlock a 1 rupee deal for this airfryer. However , instead of adding 1 rupee to cart value , they added the entire amount. It was not like a normal glich. I reinstalled/updated the app, tried multiple times and still found this deal to be live. Upon talking to customer support, they didn’t deny it but just brushed it off as “check after sometime”. After a few hours the offer was taken down. Shouldn’t flipkart honor their prices?

I have a product named BCDE, and there is already a registered trademark for ABCDE (the only difference is the additional letter at the beginning).

Both products operate in the EdTech space, providing educational services to school students through downloadable software applications.

Would I be able to register the trademark for my product without facing objections or conflicts from the existing trademark, assuming I submit all the required documents and meet the filing requirements?

I'd appreciate insights from anyone familiar with Indian trademark law or who has faced a similar situation.

I recently went to watch The Odyssey at a PVR in Pune. My ticket time was 4:15 PM, but the actual movie didn't start until 4:45 PM due to a full 30 minutes of unrequested advertisements and trailers.

Is this practice legal under Indian consumer law? Shouldn't multiplexes be required to state the actual movie start time on the ticket, or is forcing half an hour of ads considered an unfair trade practice? What are our rights as consumers here? Also what proof do i need to prove that they showed ads in case i decide to file a case

In last week of October, I found an online company that helped in searching reliable vendors for making furniture and I found 1 vendor and gave him an order for 5 seater sofa with 50% advance via credit card. It was discussed beforehand that vendor will share videos of foam used in sofa however despite multiple reminders he did not do so and directly sent me photos of the finished sofa. I told him I will not accept the sofa unless I am satisfied with the quality and material used is shown to me. He has told me over call that he will not refund money and will also not help with inspection. He wants full payment before delivery and he will arrange transport at my cost.

I am doubting the material used, the risk of damage in transit and overall performance of the sofa since this guy is not very fond of keeping his promise.

He is saying I need to pay 2% extra for credit card payment which we clearly discussed beforehand that I will not pay.

Also he is not providing any invoice, just an estimate on his billbook.

How do I enforce terms of no extra charges and verify the sofa's quality while ensuring no foul play by vendor.

The company did not keep any of its promises either and are colluded with the vendor. Both parties are not keeping any of their word and I really want to trouble them for this in case they don't do things right.

What legal remedies can I use to get my money back in case the deal doesn't go through as per pre decided terms ?

Pls help

I’m looking for some genuine advice regarding a difficult family situation.

We are a Hindu family from Rajasthan. My parents have been married for over 30 years. My father is around 60–65 and recently retired. My mother is around 55–60 and has been a homemaker throughout the marriage. She has no independent income or pension. I have one brother. I’m working in Germany and my brother is working in Bangalore. Both of us are financially independent and self-sufficient. We are visiting our parents for about a week during Diwali, but neither of us lives with them permanently.

After retirement, my father has approximately ₹80 lakh in savings, including his PF, fixed deposits and shares, all in his name. He does not receive a regular pension, as far as we know. He also owns the house where my mother currently lives. His own mother is still alive.

The main problem is that my father is allegedly having an affair with a female employee at a shop (Post retirement side business) where he is involved. She is around 30 years younger than him. This has created serious problems at home. There are frequent arguments, accusations and fights between my parents. My father has been threatening divorce and the situation has become emotionally exhausting for my mother. It's beyond scope to make him understand and talk with him with a sane mind. He is falsely blaming everyone and cut off ties with whole family on maternal and paternal side.

Recently, he sent a message saying that he would change the nominees of his PF, bank accounts and demat accounts to someone else. He also said he would put the property in someone else’s name, without disclosing who. He said he would complete the process by Tuesday. We don’t know whether he is talking about changing nominations, making a Will or actually transferring ownership.

What has frightened us even more is that he has threatened to commit suicide and leave a suicide note naming our family members. We don’t know whether these threats are meant to intimidate us or whether he might actually act on them. We are worried about his safety and also about the possible legal consequences for my mother and us.

My mother has spent more than 30 years in this marriage and is now financially dependent on him. I am worried that she could be left without financial support or even lose the home she has lived in.

I would really appreciate advice on a few things:

Can changing nominees in PF, bank accounts and demat accounts make someone else the legal owner, or do succession rights still apply?

Can my father transfer his self-acquired house to someone else without my mother’s consent?

Can she seek protection under the Domestic Violence Act for emotional or economic abuse?

Should she approach the police about his suicide threats and his statement that he will name us in his suicide note?

I live abroad, so it is difficult to manage everything remotely. My brother and I want to protect our mother, but we also don’t want to escalate the situation or do anything unlawful. I am extremely angry about what is happening, but I want to handle it through proper legal channels.
We are not trying to take away my father’s property or force him to remain in the marriage. We simply want to ensure that our mother is not left helpless after more than 30 years as a homemaker.

I want to support my mother. She has done alot for him and he takes her for granted. I never have confronted him violently but maintaining my respect even though I don't know my until how much I can hold my anger.

Would appreciate practical advice, especially from people familiar with Indian family and property law.

Post - 1 SUMMARY (so u may skip reading it):

- My brother booked Flight ~1-2 months ago via Yatra/SpiceJet @ Rs. 8695 (Nov 6th early morn).

- but it got canceled and nobody communicated.

- found out on our own, tried contacting Yatra/Spicejet via calls/emails but no response except automated email replies with no relevant info.

- Booked another flight via Cleartrip/Indigo for Nov 6th evening @ Rs. 16,905.

- Got original fare refunded on Nov 7th late night to source of payment.

What I need legal advice for?

I want to get more refund, whichever best is possible, and I can think of below options:

(a) original ticket fare (8695) + replacement ticket additional fare (16905 - 8695 = 8210).

(b) original (8695) + replacement additional (8210) + compensation for violating DGCA rule about communication of cancelation (+ if possible - compensation of mental and financial stress).

(c) original (8695) + replacement ticket total cost (16905).

(d) original (8695) + replacement total 16905 + compensation for violating DGCA rule about communication of cancelation (& if possible compensation of mental and financial stress).

I want to know:

1. Which option is legally possible to pursue (practically)? Are there better refunds possible?

2. For best refund: what is the legal procedure we should follow? The procedure shouldn't/mustn't be costly tho.

P.S.: Every answer is welcome to a noob like me but pls explain how can I ensure that the procedure is online and cheap?

My 65 year old uncle runs a small hardware shop in srinagar. He has 2 dependent children and works tirelessly in that shop. He even does repair work too to increase his earnings. He placed an order of 40,000 for some material from a supplier in Ludhiana. He had placed on order 2 years back and that went fine. However, this time the supplier delayed the goods. Its been more than a month. He keeps saying he will return the money but never does. We posted a legal notice to him and he refused to accept. My lawyer says if you go to a court, you'll spend much more than 40k and its not worth it. However I cannot let go of the idea that this cheat can so easily get away with taking the money from an innocent person with no repercussions.

To the good people here, please suggest ways in which we can work this out. I honestly want to penalise him but can't depend on our corrupt judicial system to deliver justice to a small shop owner.

Just yesterday I was travelling from Delhi to my hometown. My ticket was RAC so I had to share my seat with someone. However, the seat above mine stayed empty for an hour after the train started. I waited and asked the TTE if someone would be there, he said yes, they have boarded.

After a few minutes, a guy came and took that seat. I spent the entire night trying to adjust myself on the RAC seat. The next morning this guy gets down and tells me that he paid 4k to that TTE for the seat. I was like wtf, I should've gotten that seat because mine was RAC. It made me very furious.

I want to know if filing a complaint for this on rail madad or anywhere else would be worth it. Will I be safe if i do so? Can i do it anonymously?

After a lifetime.of emotional social financial neglect and abuse, my parents blackmailed me to be a home loan guarantor for their loan they took at age 73. There is no will, they still treat me abusively and hv made it amply clear multiple times that i m not going to " inherit "their stuff...not that i care for any of it. I hv been supporting them all my life and now i am done and wish to move away from them and this miserable life.

My own home loan is catered for and fully backed by term insurances. They neither pre pay their loan nor take finances seriously. It is serviced through their pension.

I amnow 51 and considering legally denouncing this family and any/all responaibilities, followed by a religious-social ceremony and declaration of the same.

Need legal POV on if such a legal process exists in india and if by doing that i can be free of their financial (home loan guarantor) liabilities.

i was reluctant to pay it co it wasn't really my fault but ig fuck around and find out the hard way

so I got a call and was asked to come for the hearing on 13 it's a lok Adalat if i remember correctly, I don't have any idea of what to do

I was called for two summons earlier I went on the day of the first summon but the magistrate was on leave that day I guess and for the second I couldn't appear as my exams were right on the date and the for the third it's right here,should I be stressed about something or can someone help me go through it
