In India, a housing society secretary cannot file a defamation case against a member using society funds without the society’s approval. This is because the society’s funds are meant for the benefit of all members, and using them for personal litigation requires a resolution passed by the society’s governing body.

My name is Shubham Kumar Singh, and I’m a student living in a rented apartment with friends. Recently, a friend took our rental agreement for a gas connection and hasn’t returned it. He also gave extra money to the landlord and said I should leave without any explanation. The landlord just told me I need to vacate the room within two days. Adding to the issue, my friend collected this month’s rent yesterday. When I asked for the agreement back, he claimed the landlord took it. When I questioned why he gave it away without my consent, he didn’t offer any reason. Please help me resolve this situation.

Respected Sir, My case involves sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120B of the IT Act, specifically sections 43(a)(b) and 66. I was arrested on October 13th, 2016, following an FIR filed on October 10th, 2016. I was initially remanded in police custody from October 14th to 16th, followed by a final remand from October 16th to 21st. I was then transferred to judicial custody on October 21st, 2016. I received temporary bail from January 5th to January 24th, 2017, but the charge sheet has not yet been submitted. Could you please advise on the process for converting my temporary bail to permanent bail?Specifically, I would like to know:1. Can I file a bail application based on the delay in submitting the charge sheet? 2. Is it mandatory for an accused person to spend 90 days in jail for the charge sheet to be submitted within that timeframe?3. If an accused person receives temporary bail before completing 90 days in jail, would they be released automatically if no charge sheet is submitted within those 90 days? Thank you for your time and guidance.

My in-laws barged into our home in Pune without permission, assaulted my spouse and me, and then took my spouse away against their will. They even filed a false police complaint before leaving for Delhi. We immediately reported the incident to the police and filed an FIR against them. It’s been over two months now, and I’m worried about the outcome. Is there a specific timeframe after which the FIR against my spouse’s family might automatically be dismissed? I’ve asked the police to hold off on any action against them while we try to resolve this matter amicably and see if their claims of domestic violence are genuine.

My belongings were shipped from Jeddah to Hyderabad via Air Link cargo. The shipment was delayed for over 3 months, despite their promise of delivery within 15-20 days. I received only 49kg of my 64kg shipment, with 15kg missing. The carton was opened and repacked, and it was delivered to Bangalore before reaching Hyderabad. I shipped all my household items, including perfumes, watches, utensils, and some electronics, and the cargo company wrapped the carton themselves, assuring me of secure delivery. When I inquired about the delay, they cited customs issues in Bangalore. I’m worried about the missing items and the condition of my belongings. I paid a significant amount for the shipment. Can you advise me on how to file a complaint and claim compensation from Air Link cargo?

I’m a government officer in India. A woman opened an account at my bank yesterday and got my details. She befriended me on Facebook and our conversation turned inappropriate. Later I found out her husband was behind it. We’ve been getting threatening calls and people have even come to our home. They also filed a police complaint, claiming sexual harassment and demanding a settlement. What kind of trouble could I be in, and what kind of damage could this cause?
