My family owns ancestral land, and I need to prove four generations were undivided for my legal case. The available land records (Jamabandi) only show two generations, starting from 1912. I’m looking for records before 1911 but the district office doesn’t have them. How can I get these older Jamabandi documents to strengthen my claim?

You can explore options like the National Archives of India, state archives, or the revenue department’s historical records section. You could also look for family documents, wills, or revenue court records from the relevant period to corroborate your claim.

Good morning, sir. I have a couple of quick questions. Firstly, if someone’s right to life, as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution, is violated, does that automatically become a legal issue in a petition? Secondly, will the Supreme Court registry be open this Saturday, the 25th of December? I’d be grateful for your insights, sir. Thank you.

My buddies wanted to celebrate my birthday with a treat, but I had a beer that day and got caught for drunk driving. The police asked for my original driving license and registration papers. I have the registration book but only a photocopy of my license – I lost my wallet (and my original license) a few months ago. What should I do now?

My family owns a three-story building in Hyderabad. The government has measured part of the drainage extension beside our home and informed us they might demolish the building. Our property is registered but not assigned, and we have obtained LRS and building permissions up to the first floor. We pay taxes for the entire building. They haven’t issued any formal notice yet. Can we seek a stay order? If they proceed with the demolition, their compensation is likely to be minimal. Could we pursue land-to-land allotment and construction expense recovery through a legal suit? Are there any successful cases addressing this situation? What legal expenses should we expect?

I’m in the middle of a legal dispute with a society and have filed an injunction against them. However, I’m worried the president and secretary might resign, making the injunction ineffective against them. Could I add them individually to the lawsuit, alongside the society itself? I’m concerned they might exploit loopholes later. The case is at the argument stage, and I’m waiting for the first hearing date. Are there any legal provisions that allow me to include their names individually? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The Supreme Court of India concluded hearings in a case back in 2016, but the judgment is still pending. Is there any rule about how long it takes for the court to deliver a judgment after all hearings are completed?

We’ve decided to pursue a Mutual Consent Divorce without involving child custody or alimony. I have a couple of questions: 1. Are divorce, child custody, and maintenance separate legal processes, or can they be addressed together in a single case? 2. Can either of us file for child custody or maintenance after the divorce is finalized?
