I helped a friend’s friend prepare for an IT job, including resume writing and coaching. I charged a reasonable fee of ₹30,000, working diligently to ensure he was ready. Sadly, he lacked focus during the course and struggled to keep up. After getting the job, he quit after just two days, took the company laptop home, and sent it back with a letter stating he wouldn’t continue. He’s now blaming me for the “fake” company and demanding his money back. He’s threatening to file a false complaint against me and my friend unless I pay up, using my role in the interview as leverage. There’s no proof of payment, but he’s recording everything as blackmail.

This situation presents a potential case of extortion and blackmail. You have a strong defense as you provided coaching services, and the job seeker’s actions are independent of your services. File a police complaint and consider legal counsel to address the threats and potential false accusations.

My parents passed away in 2001, leaving behind a flat registered in my father’s name. My brother and I are the only inheritors. He’s taken all the property documents and is pressuring me to sell the flat, which I don’t want to do as it’s my only home. The police haven’t helped. What can I do now?

Our family left a small patch of land outside our compound wall, which wasn’t perfectly straight, and planted a few plants there. Our neighbour started renovating their house and, before we knew it, they had incorporated that land into their property, put up a gate, and even dug a water tank. We reported this to the police, but it didn’t help. We filed a civil case in the local court seeking an injunction. They claim they don’t have original property documents and only submitted photocopies. My neighbour filed the lawsuit three months ago but hasn’t registered the property in anyone’s name. Her husband is physically disabled, and he’s pretending to be innocent, claiming he’s been using our land for 20 years. But we bought our land and built our house nine years ago. We filed the lawsuit in the names of her husband and their daughter. Given that they don’t have original documents and we submitted ours a year ago, why is the court taking so long to decide?
