Yes, you can file a complaint. The Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955, prohibits harassment based on caste and provides for penalties. You can file a complaint with the police or the National Commission for Scheduled Castes.

We’ve been running our society for a year now. We aimed to expand our reach from the state to the national level, and increased membership from 7 to 12. However, we couldn’t get everyone to sign the necessary documents at the time, so we signed on their behalf. These members haven’t raised any issues yet, but they could in the future. We have affidavits from them stating they agreed to the documents, but the signatures might not match if they decide to take legal action. What can we do to ensure the safety of our society and ourselves?

I was born and raised in Jharkhand, completing my entire education here. I’m now 29 years old. My OBC certificate was issued in Bihar in 2015. I recently applied for the UPSC exam where the notification requires an OBC certificate from the state my father belongs to. My permanent address on the application is Jharkhand, but my OBC certificate is from Bihar. Will this difference create problems during the verification process? Which state should I consider as my domicile – Jharkhand or Bihar?

My neighbour is building a hut right in front of our backyard entrance, causing a lot of trouble. They even wash dishes and clothes in front of our gate! They’re using their local connections to threaten us, saying they’ll block the entire road. They had a small piece of land at the end of the road, where they initially put this temporary hut. They promised to remove it when they built a house. Now, they’re trying to sell the plot and build a house in the road, blocking our entrance completely. I’m feeling helpless and frustrated.

Previous Article I invested in the Homested Sohna Sector 215 project about two years ago. The project was soft launched, and I paid ₹9.5 lakhs for a 2 BHK apartment. However, the project hasn’t officially launched yet. Homested says they will refund my money without interest and provide a post-dated check four months after submitting my refund application. This means I’ll have to wait another six months to get my money back. Is it possible for me to get my money refunded with interest? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
