In India, there are no laws specifically prohibiting you from teaching soft skills and personality development based on knowledge acquired elsewhere. However, you must ensure that you don’t infringe on any copyrighted materials or trade secrets from your previous institute.

I consulted a tantrik for a personal issue and paid him a fee. He didn’t deliver on his promises and demanded more money.

I booked a flat in Panvel back in 2013, and the builder promised possession by 2015 or 2016. The initial allotment letter didn’t mention a specific possession date. Later, they issued a new allotment letter changing the payment schedule, which I didn’t agree to. I want to either transfer or cancel the flat, but the builder insists on a 5% penalty for cancellation and forbids transfers. They also say the refund will only happen after finding a new buyer. I’ve already paid around 40% of the total cost. What are my options?

Our play school chain in Ghaziabad just got a legal notice from another school for copyright infringement. Their lawyer claims we copied some text on our website, which describes the services we offer. It’s similar to what’s on their website, but it’s all pretty basic stuff you’d find in any play school. We have to respond within a week. What’s the best way to handle this, and what are the potential consequences of copyright infringement?
