Under Indian law, operating an online gambling platform that involves wagering money on games of chance, like coin flips, is generally illegal. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 and state-specific laws prohibit such activities, even if they are considered “simple” or involve low stakes.

My friend and I were installing CCTV cameras at a building when he accidentally fell from the balcony. We rushed him to the hospital where he got stitches on his head and chin. Thankfully, he’s out of danger and was discharged the next day. However, his mother called me on the third day, saying he’s their only breadwinner and won’t be able to work for at least two weeks. She hinted at wanting compensation, but I’m just a worker like him and don’t think it’s fair to ask the building owner. I’m worried they might file a complaint against me or the owner, even though it was my friend’s own mistake. The incident was captured on CCTV footage. Is a complaint against me or the owner legally valid in this situation?

Namaste! I’m a 24-year-old young man, and my parents are going through a difficult time. My father remarried about a decade ago, and his new wife seems to be focused on getting a lot of money from him. He’s taken on many loans and is neglecting to pay them back. I’m worried that if he ignores legal notices about these loans, the responsibility will fall on me. My mother is also considering divorce. I’m feeling scared and overwhelmed. I’m hoping to find a government job nearby, but I need guidance on how to navigate this situation. Could you please offer your best advice? Thank you for your time.

My case is in the initial stages at Tis Hazari Courts, and I’ve submitted some key documents to support my claim. The other side has challenged their authenticity. I’ve already prepared my affidavit with evidence. How do I refer to these disputed documents in my affidavit? Are there legal options to formally prove these documents, or will the court consider them despite the challenge?

My professor gave me a zero in internal marks, saying I was absent for the viva and test. I was there both times! I even showed her proof with 6 classmates as witnesses, but she still insists I was absent. I’ve written to the principal twice, but nothing’s changed. It’s so frustrating, constantly reaching out. Can I file a case? Does the Juvenile Act apply to college students? Any advice?
