I’m starting a construction business in India and I’m worried about a similar name issue. Another company here is called “onestopconstruct” and a US-based company is called “onestopconstruction.” They both work in the same field and sell similar products. What legal steps should I take to avoid any potential problems?

To avoid legal issues, you should conduct a thorough trademark search to ensure “onestopconstruct” isn’t already registered in India. Consult with a legal professional to discuss trademark registration and potential infringement risks from both the Indian and US companies.

I took the IELTS exam on October 20th, hoping to secure my place at a top university abroad. The results were supposed to be out on November 5th, but I received an email stating that my result is delayed due to a “quality check.” The email promised an update within a week, but that hasn’t happened. Each time I contact customer care, they tell me to wait another week. This delay is seriously impacting my university applications and jeopardizing my future. While the application form mentions the possibility of delays, it feels like the British Council is using this clause to their advantage. If my result doesn’t arrive within a month, I’ll miss the application deadline and have to either delay my studies or pay a hefty 10,000 rupees for another exam. What can I do to get my results and get on with my plans?

The Supreme Court penalized our college with a hefty fine of ₹5 crores for exceeding the sanctioned intake of 100 medical students, admitting 150 instead. The court explicitly stated that this fine shouldn’t be passed on to students. However, just a week later, we received a notice demanding ₹20,000 from students with backlogs or those who failed subjects to allow them to take exams. Is this legally justifiable, and what legal options do we have to challenge this?

Even though he controls the entire layout, what legal action should I take? Should I file a consumer complaint, a civil suit, or a criminal case? My plot is currently valued at ₹8 lakh by the government. If I claim ₹15 lakh for mental harassment, the total goes above ₹24 lakh. Can I file my case directly in the state consumer commission?
