We renewed our contract with a driver’s syndicate in Bangalore on September 21st, 2016, for three months after paying them a deposit of ₹30,000. We have a copy of the agreement. The driver stopped working, claiming the company hadn’t paid him his dues. We told the driver’s agency we no longer wanted his services and asked for our deposit back, along with the driver’s unpaid wages. Now, the driver is harassing us and threatening legal action. He received partial payment from the agency and still demands his salary from us, despite our full payment to the company. The company isn’t responding properly. They say we should pay the driver because we broke the contract, but refuse to return our deposit.

Based on the information provided, it appears there may be a dispute regarding contractual obligations and payment responsibilities. You should consult with a lawyer to understand your legal rights and obligations under the contract with the driver’s syndicate and to determine the best course of action to resolve the situation. The lawyer can help you analyze the contract, consider potential legal arguments, and advise on how to proceed with the driver’s harassment and the syndicate’s refusal to return your deposit.

I was stopped by the police on May 26, 2016, because I didn’t have my license and helmet. They took my registration certificate and gave me an e-challan for ₹600. I couldn’t go to court then, and it’s been 7 months. What should I do now? Will the challan amount increase, or will there be any other punishment?

Our family left a small patch of land outside our compound wall, which wasn’t perfectly straight, and planted a few plants there. Our neighbour started renovating their house and, before we knew it, they had incorporated that land into their property, put up a gate, and even dug a water tank. We reported this to the police, but it didn’t help. We filed a civil case in the local court seeking an injunction. They claim they don’t have original property documents and only submitted photocopies. My neighbour filed the lawsuit three months ago but hasn’t registered the property in anyone’s name. Her husband is physically disabled, and he’s pretending to be innocent, claiming he’s been using our land for 20 years. But we bought our land and built our house nine years ago. We filed the lawsuit in the names of her husband and their daughter. Given that they don’t have original documents and we submitted ours a year ago, why is the court taking so long to decide?

A milk seller received 20 advance payments of ₹5 lakhs each for supplying milk to a dairy plant. However, no milk was ever delivered, and there’s no proof that even a single litre reached the plant. Despite this, the courts, including the High Court, upheld the punishment and fine. The Supreme Court also declined to hear the case. How can the seller now seek a review and curative petition, given that the judgement acknowledges the lack of proof of milk delivery but relies on the legal presumption under Section 139?

Next Article I worked as a contractual employee with the National Health Mission in Odisha. On March 31st, 2015, my colleagues were transferred to the Odisha Medical Corporation. However, on the same day, I and two others received a false show-cause notice for alleged misconduct towards seniors. Though I responded promptly, no action was taken for months. Then, on November 30th, 2015, I was informed that my position was redundant as the Odisha Medical Corporation didn’t require additional staff. This was despite being the most qualified and experienced individual among those working there.
