My family paid Rs. 55,000 to a local fabricator in Panjim for window grills in our new flat. We have a check payment receipt and written confirmation from him. But now, he’s gone missing! We can’t find him at his house in Goa. What legal options do we have to get our money back?

You have a strong case for recovering the money. File a police complaint for cheating and criminal breach of trust, which will be investigated. Additionally, you can file a civil suit in a Goa court for the recovery of Rs. 55,000.

Respected Sir/Madam, I recently booked a plot in Madurai from a builder and paid an advance of ₹2 lakhs through an SBI cheque. The builder later requested 80% of the remaining amount in cash, which I’m not comfortable with. As we haven’t signed any formal agreement, I declined his request and asked for my advance payment back. I only have a notebook receipt for the ₹2 lakhs. However, the builder is now refusing to return the money. Could you please advise me on how I can get my money back? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

My driver secretly registered my car with Ola without my permission. When I went to the Ola office in Gurgaon, they couldn’t show me any documents from me or any permission slip I signed. They only had my car’s papers and the driver’s documents. Usually, Ola requires the car owner’s documents before they can use a car. Can I take legal action against Ola?

My business used Just Dial’s advertising service in June 2017, paying for a year upfront. The marketing was so successful, I stopped setting up automatic payments. But in August, Just Dial started debiting my account again, without notice. These charges were inconsistent with our original agreement, and they’re now saying the automatic payment mandate is lifelong. Can they debit my account for amounts different from the original agreement? Can they arbitrarily decide how much to debit? Is it legal to debit my account after the agreement expired, even though I haven’t renewed the mandate? They’ve now issued an invoice, but I’m confused about my rights.

Despite informing PolicyBazaar and Max Life consultants about the issue, I was assured that the policy would be issued quickly. While I received confirmation of policy issuance in May, I haven’t received the physical copy yet.
