In India, you can explore legal options like sending a legal notice demanding fulfillment of the agreement. If that fails, you can file a civil suit for breach of contract in a court of competent jurisdiction. You can also consider mediation or arbitration to resolve the dispute amicably.

My daughter, married in India in 2009, was tragically forced out of her home by her husband and his family just a month later. They sent her a divorce notice and have been defaming her ever since, ruining her chances of finding a new partner. They even created two different identities in Gujarat to make it harder to track them down. I’m currently living in the UK and am desperate for help. Could I send a notice through a lawyer, despite being abroad? What other steps can I take to protect my daughter?

I bought a plot of land in January 2013. The seller agreed to clear the land and show us its boundaries within two months, after which I was to pay him the final amount. We asked him to return the signed agreement and collect his payment on the 10th of January, but he claimed he couldn’t find it and requested a bank transfer. We refused to pay without the agreement. On the 19th, he promised to bring it. However, he only returned with the agreement when we showed him the money, grabbed it, and ran away. Now, he’s claiming we never paid him and is demanding the full amount plus a 24% interest for the past three years.

A service law case in Karnataka High Court saw the defendant win by withholding crucial documents, despite strong evidence against them. The plaintiff appealed and won, with the Supreme Court upholding the verdict. This judgement, setting a precedent for similar cases, found the suppression of evidence to be fraudulent. Could this judgement be challenged now that the plaintiff has obtained the missing documents through an RTI request?

I filed complaints about issues I faced with the education department on the PGMS portal. The Education Officer/Deputy Director of Education responded, but some of their statements about me are untrue and damaging to my reputation. They claim things never happened, and I’ve been asking for 3 months for proof to support these claims. Despite repeated requests, they haven’t provided any evidence. One specific statement they made was “Your candidature was disapproved for the post you applied for,” which is completely false. Can I pursue a defamation lawsuit against the education department? Please advise.

My family and I are facing a major issue due to a plastic bag manufacturing factory built on land allotted for a handloom shed in our colony. We’ve already filed complaints with the State Pollution Board, Municipal Corporation, District Town Planner, Area Fire Brigade, and the District Commissioner’s grievance cell. However, the District Commissioner’s office dismissed our complaint, claiming the land was allocated for a “green industry” – a handloom shed. But the allotted shed was demolished, and the factory owner built his unit in the basement near our homes, claiming it’s a godown. The Pollution Control Board, after investigating, initiated sealing the factory, but due to political pressure, the action was halted. What steps can we take now to ensure the factory is shut down and our health is protected?
