I was pressured into buying a health insurance policy, and signed a blank cheque. Later, I discovered that the policy’s premium was higher than other options from nationalized companies. I immediately asked the agent to cancel the policy, but he refused. I then contacted my bank to stop the payment.

Under Indian law, you have the right to cancel a health insurance policy within 15 days of receiving it. You can also legally stop payment on the cheque if it was given under duress and the policy was not as represented.

I lent ₹2 lakhs to someone, and they gave me a cheque for the same amount, but without a date. They promised to add the date within a month so I could cash it. It’s been over two months now, and they’re not answering my calls. This person is politically connected, so I need to know what legal options I have to get my money back quickly and prevent them from using their influence.

My friend owes me money. I’ve sent two legal notices over the past three months. Can I take legal action now?

Namaste Sir, I bought a 200 square yard plot of land near Jayanti village, about 70 kilometers from Vijayawada, six years ago. Back then, it cost me Rs 80,000. I have a receipt for the payment, but the seller never handed over the property. Despite numerous calls and visits, I was given two checks after four years, and my original receipt was taken back. However, these checks bounced. The seller claimed it was due to an urgent payment, and his account was empty. After repeated attempts, he promised to pay me Rs. 2,00,000, the current government rate, but only gave me Rs. 50,000 in November 2016. He assured me the rest would be paid in subsequent months, but that never happened. The land now costs Rs 8,000 per square yard. I am working abroad on a 28-day rotation, so I haven’t been able to follow up effectively. Recently, I learned the seller has a 420 case filed against him. I feel cheated. If this seller is allowed to continue operating his property associates in Vijayawada, others might be deceived. He has expanded his business. Please advise on how to proceed in this matter.

My ₹12,000 cheque was bounced! What should I do now?

If I win my court case, what are the next steps to get the money awarded to me by the judge?

Previous Article My aunt, a widowed senior citizen without children, owns a plot of land (63A) separate from our family property (63). Unfortunately, one of my cousins has built an extension onto her property, illegally joining it to his own. He’s even put his kitchen and bathroom on the encroached area. How can we resolve this? If my aunt writes a will leaving her property to me, could my other cousins challenge it after she passes? Or would a gift deed be a better option?
