Dear Sir, I recently booked a flat in Sector 93, Gurgaon. The agreement states that possession is due in January 2017, with a six-month grace period. However, given the current situation, it seems unlikely the builder will be able to deliver the flat by then. There might be a delay of two years or more. I’ve received a demand for payment from the builder. Should I pay, risking more money being tied up, or hold off?

Based on Indian law, you have the right to withhold payment if the builder fails to deliver possession within the stipulated time frame, including the grace period. However, you should consult with a lawyer to understand your specific rights and options, considering the delay’s potential cause and any clauses in your agreement.

I applied for a blocked account for my German studies at Deutsche Bank’s Pune branch on August 26th, submitting all required documents. The bank representative asked me to inform them once the funds were deposited, which I did on September 12th. Despite repeated attempts to follow up, I only learned on September 19th that my representative was unavailable due to illness, requiring me to redo the entire documentation process. I completed everything again on September 21st, and was assured the account would be opened immediately. However, the processing took longer than the promised 15 days, disrupting my visa application.

I ordered a phone from Quikr, but when it arrived, I found a bar of soap instead! I immediately contacted Quikr, and they said they’d investigate. The next day, the courier guy called saying my package was ready. It seems like the first package was fake, but it had my order ID, address, and phone number printed on it. I suspect the courier messed up, but since I bought from Quikr, can I file a complaint with the consumer court? They’ve refused to refund me.

I’m from Kolkata and hired a consultancy in Noida to help me get a work permit in Singapore. I landed an interview with the Pan Pacific Hotel (+6563368111) and got the job! I received the offer letter and IPA/visa from the consultancy and paid half their fees. They were about to apply for my e-pass and send it to me, but all their phone lines have been disconnected for five days. I’ve tried to reach the Pan Pacific Hotel, but haven’t been able to find the right person. What should I do? I’m considering taking action against the consultancy.

Previous Article My wife left our home in 2014 and filed cases against me and my family in my hometown. The police filed charges, but there’s been no hearing yet, and we’re on bail. Now, two years later, we got a letter from the women’s police station in my wife’s hometown saying she filed another complaint. Should I go there to explain our side? Can she file a new case even though we haven’t been in touch? I’m hesitant to travel to her hometown.

On May 15th, I sent two notices: one asking him to vacate the shop within 30 days for breaking the lease terms, and the other demanding payment for the bounced cheques within 15 days. Both notice periods have passed, but he hasn’t left. What should I do now?
