We paid a 20% advance to a builder in 2012 for a project, but their paperwork was not in order. Work hasn’t begun, and we’ve been trying to get our money back for the past two years. We filed a complaint in 2015, received a cheque, but it bounced. We sent a notice but received no response. Recently, a group of us went to his house, but he threatened us. We filed another complaint but now they’re threatening to file a case against us. What should we do?

You should immediately consult a lawyer specializing in consumer or real estate law. The builder’s threats and bouncing cheque indicate potential criminal liability, and a legal professional can advise on appropriate action, including filing a police complaint or pursuing further legal avenues.

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?

I’m a GNM nurse from a village near Bangalore, and I wanted to pursue a BSc Nursing degree from Laxmidevi Nursing Institute in Hoskote.

However, the college is now refusing to return my original certificates unless I pay two years’ fees, which is around two lakh rupees. I’m desperate to get my certificates back. What legal options do I have?
