My brother borrowed small amounts from several people, giving them cheques. Some cheques were blank, and others bounced. He’s now missing, and though no one has filed a complaint yet, the interest on these small loans is piling up. I can’t afford to pay everyone back. How can I help him?

Under Indian law, you are not legally obligated to pay your brother’s debts. However, you can try to locate him and encourage him to address the situation. You could also try to negotiate with the creditors and explain your brother’s circumstances.

I’m a wedding photographer in Delhi. I agreed to a contract for a wedding shoot, taking half the payment upfront with the rest due after delivery. My client paid half in cash and half by cheque, but the cheque bounced the next day! Now they won’t answer my calls, and won’t give me back my hard drives with the photos. We had a contract, but they never signed it. What can I do to get my payment and my photos back? Is this a lost cause?

Previous Article I accepted a job offer from a software company, but now a better opportunity has come up. The offer letter mentions my joining date, salary, and other details, but doesn’t have a separate terms and conditions section. It just has a line saying “I accept the offer and join as per the date mentioned in the letter” and space for my signature. All communication was through email. How can I politely withdraw from the first offer without any legal trouble?
Next Article I’ve been married for almost four years, and we have a two-year-old son. I have a job, and before my delivery, I gave my husband 80% of my salary in cash, which he demanded. I went to my parents’ place for the delivery. After our son was born, there was a fight between both families, and my husband verbally abused me over the phone, demanding I quit my job, come back home, and cut ties with my family, threatening violence if I didn’t. When I refused, his parents spread false rumors about me to our relatives. I emailed my husband detailing how much I had financially supported him, but he denied receiving any money and claimed he had spent a lot on me, even counting food expenses. I stopped responding after his lie. Now, his uncle wants me to collect my belongings as they are moving and has suggested a mutual consent divorce, which my father rejected. My gold jewelry is still with him, and his uncle promises to return it soon. I want to know what legal steps he can take against me and what precautions I should take to protect myself. I do not want a divorce.
