Hello, I recently bought a bottle of scotch (750ml) in Karnataka and was driving to Tamil Nadu. I was not intoxicated while driving, but a police officer stopped me at the border and took my driving license. He said I need to appear in court to get it back after paying a fine. I’ve already paid INR 3,000 and been released on bail. I work at a software company in Bangalore and my company is applying for a US visa for me. Will this incident impact the background check by the US embassy during visa stamping?

While the details of the incident might be reported to the Indian authorities, it is unlikely to impact your US visa application. The US embassy primarily looks at criminal records and visa violations, and your case doesn’t fall under either. However, it’s best to be transparent and consult with a legal professional for accurate guidance.

If someone is accused of cheating under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, what’s the harshest punishment they could face? Let’s say the case involves property fraud. The accused took money as “Amanat” (trust) and returned it upon request, with a notarized receipt on stamped paper. But the complainant is denying receiving the money, claiming the receipt is just for show. Can they deny a notarized receipt? Also, if someone sold a property for ₹8 lakhs and registered it in the sale deed, could they later claim it was sold for ₹26 lakhs to file a false FIR under Section 420 without any evidence?

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.
