I paid an advance for a flat but the builder hasn’t given me the allotment letter even after a year. They now want all original documents for a cheque. Is it safe to give them the originals? What if the cheque bounces? Can I file a case with just copies of the documents?

It’s not safe to give original documents. You should demand an allotment letter first. If the cheque bounces, you can file a case with copies of documents, but originals will strengthen your case.

My family booked a flat in 2013, but we haven’t received possession yet. In 2015, the builder gave us a cheque that bounced. We sent a legal notice but were promised payment, so we didn’t pursue it further. However, the builder hasn’t paid, and we even filed a police complaint with others. They then gave another cheque which also bounced. Can we now approach the consumer court, and are there any other actions we can take?

I ordered a watch from Snapdeal for ₹1,600, paying upfront. They called to cancel the order, but I insisted on delivery. They sent a completely different, cheaper watch. When I asked for the correct one, they processed a refund instead. They kept promising the right watch though. I have all the call recordings. Now they’re offering me ₹100-₹200 as an apology. This is the third time Snapdeal has cheated me. What should I do?

When a court rejects objections raised by the opposing party, it often lists the case for “admission/denial of documents.” In simple terms, what does this mean in an Indian legal context? Who gets to submit documents for acceptance or rejection (the person who filed the case or the opposing party), and what specific documents are usually involved?

Previous Article I’ve raised a complaint with the Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) about our society’s Management Committee (MC) giving one of its flats to an employee. The RWA has ordered the employee to vacate the flat within a month, but I’m unsure if they’ll comply. What should I do next, and who should I approach? Additionally, the MC refused to charge this employee common service charges, even though he benefits from facilities like other residents. They claim the charges don’t apply to society flats, but they are collecting a small rent from him. Is there any way to ensure he contributes fairly?
