Under Indian law, you can potentially take legal action against your sister for defamation if her lies cause you harm and damage your reputation. However, proving the lies were intentionally malicious and caused you actual harm is crucial for a successful case.

The court had directed the appointment of a commissioner and surveyor to identify the property mentioned in the case. After they filed their report, the defendant didn’t want to present any counter-evidence. The plaintiff, while not presenting new evidence, was allowed to cross-examine the previous witness’s affidavit and the defendant’s documents. Can the plaintiff still cross-examine the witness and present evidence?

I gave a blank cheque to a private college for a B.A.M.S degree course, with instructions to fill it after 10 days. They immediately used it and the cheque bounced. The college now insists I pay the fees via RTGS/NEFT within 10 days. They admit they wrongly presented the cheque to the bank. I initially transferred Rs. 50,000 to see if the funds would be credited, but the college now claims the seat has been sold to someone else for a higher donation and refuses to admit me. What legal recourse do I have?

I’m facing issues with the Pune Municipal Corporation and the Irrigation Department, and I want to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Bombay High Court.

The flour mill next door, squeezed into a tiny space with just three noisy machines, is driving everyone crazy! The constant din makes it impossible to relax, and the children’s studies are suffering. Despite complaints and even a formal letter, the owner, a local council official, just shrugs it off. He claims to have all the necessary permits and even has some old “no objection” letters from neighbours. It’s all very frustrating, and the relentless noise is starting to get to everyone’s mental well-being.

My land, along with two others, was being divided. The village officer, the Lekhpal, prepared a report giving all three of us access to the main road, as per our land’s use. But the SDM rejected it, claiming we didn’t all have road access, and told the Lekhpal to give us all road access (this seems ridiculous, right?). The Lekhpal then prepared another report, but this time only gave two of us access to the main road! The third person was given access through a back road, and their possession wasn’t even considered. I’m sure a higher court will give me justice, but I want to hold the corrupt SDM and Lekhpal accountable. Can I file a case under Section 219 of the IPC to teach them a lesson? If so, how, and which court should I approach – the Sessions Court, District Court, or directly the High Court? Please advise.
