I’m looking to hire a freelancer based in another state, but they’re asking for an advance payment. If they don’t complete the work on time, would an email confirming the project acceptance and delivery timeline be enough as proof, or should I get a written agreement? I’m based in Noida.

An email alone might not be sufficient proof. It’s highly advisable to have a written agreement outlining the project scope, payment terms, and deadlines. This agreement should be signed by both parties for legal protection and clarity in case of any dispute.

I filed a complaint against ICICI Bank in the Belgaum court regarding my pension. The court accepted my petition and ordered the police to investigate the matter and file an FIR against the bank and its 10 directors. While the FIR is registered, the police aren’t actively investigating and are suggesting I withdraw the case and pursue it in a civil court. I believe this is happening due to pressure from ICICI Bank. The investigating officer (IO) is refusing to investigate and plans to return the case to the court as a “civil matter.” What are my options now?

I ordered two items from Spa Ceylon online on December 2nd, 2016. One was discounted, while the other was inexpensive. I paid online. The next day, a Spa Ceylon representative called to say the low-priced item was actually more expensive due to a website error. They offered to cancel that item and send only the discounted one. After some discussion, I agreed but asked for a credit note for the extra amount paid. On December 7th, I received only the discounted item, and it was expired. I contacted Spa Ceylon about this and the issue with the credit note. A female executive informed me that discounted products often come close to or past their expiry date. I challenged this and requested a replacement, but she said she’d have someone call me back. What should I do if I don’t get a replacement, and what about the cancelled product?

A close call in our Indirapuram apartment building! We have an AMC with Johnson Lifts, but their technicians have been struggling to fix a faulty lift for over a week. Recently, the lift went up to the 8th floor, but the door opened on the 7th, trapping a man inside. My son, unaware of the situation, was about to step into the empty shaft when the trapped man thankfully alerted him. I have witnesses and pictures of the incident. Can I file a complaint against Johnson Lifts for this serious negligence?
