I won a contest on Shop4U and was promised a prize worth ₹8 lakh. They took ₹1 lakh from me in installments, but only sent me a small part of the prize worth ₹80,000. The remaining ₹20,000 is missing, and the contest prize was awarded to someone else. Customer care isn’t helping. Please advise.

You have a strong case for legal action against Shop4U for breach of contract and misrepresentation. You can file a complaint with the Consumer Forum or approach a lawyer to seek recovery of the remaining prize money and compensation for the mental distress caused by their unfair practices.

My friends travelled to Bangkok using tickets booked through a Delhi travel agency. I paid them upfront, but the agency cancelled their return flights without warning! The airline confirmed the cancellation and no refund was given. How can I file a consumer complaint about this?

Traveling on Indian Railways with an RAC ticket can be a bit of a gamble, right? You pay the full fare like confirmed ticket holders but are only guaranteed a seat if someone cancels or leaves their berth. It feels unfair to pay for a confirmed berth when you might not get it, especially for a long journey. Wouldn’t it be reasonable to ask for a refund for the difference between the seat and berth fare until you’re actually allotted a confirmed berth? It seems fair to charge based on the service actually received. Could you please advise on the legal grounds for this?

I recently joined a society of homebuyers in the Orchard project in Noida, developed by JP Associates. Unfortunately, the president is refusing to let me become a member, likely due to a personal grudge. I’ve tried to speak to him, but he’s not budging. I urgently need to file a case against JP Associates, but individual legal action is incredibly expensive. Are there any affordable legal options available to help me fight this case until a final decision is reached?

I booked a flat with a builder and signed the papers. Now I want to cancel the booking, but they’re asking for 15% of the flat price. Is this legal? Can I still back out?

I’ve already paid more than the agreed contract amount, even including extra work we requested. I even made payments that were supposed to be done after the project was finished, in good faith. But now, after completing about 80% of the work, the contractor has stopped working regularly and is demanding more money, claiming increased material costs and extra payments to his workers. I’ve been patient, but I’ve lost 8-10 months and a significant amount of money. How can I move forward to get this project finished quickly without spending any more, since I’ve already paid more than enough?

Next Article My grandfather, a Jain, wrote down how to divide our family property on a ₹500 stamp paper, which was also notarized.

All his heirs have signed the notarized paper. Will this agreement legally bind everyone to divide the property this way?
