Section 382 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with theft, which is a non-compoundable offense. This means it cannot be settled outside of court without the permission of the court. While seeking legal counsel is essential, remember that a settlement is unlikely without the court’s intervention.

We placed an order for materials worth ₹90,000 last December, paying an advance of ₹10,000 upfront. The supplier claimed the materials were ready after a few days and sent a proforma invoice, prompting us to pay the remaining balance. They even provided a US bill of lading number. However, the materials never arrived, and the bill of lading turned out to be fake. The supplier then began sending partial deliveries – ₹25,000 worth of materials after two months, another ₹20,000 after six months, and finally ₹1,000 after ten months. We intend to file a case of cheating under IPC Section 420. What is the correct legal procedure we should follow?

My brother worked with my uncle for 15 years. He recently returned home, and shortly after, my uncle tragically took his own life, leaving a note mentioning our family. Two months before his death, we had a financial settlement with my uncle, documented in an agreement witnessed by prominent figures in our town. The police investigated thoroughly, confirming our absence from his home and any contact with him in the period between the agreement and his passing. Even the City DSP visited and concluded our innocence. Despite being cleared by the police, we remain concerned about the future, as an FIR has been filed against us. We haven’t sought any legal protection. What steps should we take to ensure our safety and handle this sensitive situation?

A homeowner in India discovered that a government-allotted house was being occupied by a driver. Despite lodging complaints with various authorities, including the State, District, and Mandal Legal Services, the driver continued to reside there. The driver presented forged government documents to the Mandal Legal Services Committee Judge, claiming the house was allotted to him. The Judge, instead of verifying the documents, requested the homeowner not to escalate the matter. Is the homeowner legally justified in approaching the High Court? Provide advice and relevant legal rulings or Acts.

My history sheet has been open for the last 30 years, but there have been no complaints against me in the past 20 years. Can I still apply for a passport? I previously applied, but my police verification was unsuccessful due to the open history sheet.

Previous Article I’ve been facing serious issues like cheating, extortion, assault, trespassing, harassment and blackmail. The local police wouldn’t file a complaint (FIR). Even the police commissioner refused. So, I’m thinking of filing a private complaint under sections 200/156(3) of CrPC with the Magistrate. But local lawyers charge a lot – ₹10,000 for juniors and ₹15,000 for seniors, which I can’t afford. Can I, as a citizen, directly submit a private complaint to the Magistrate without hiring a lawyer? Or is it mandatory to have a lawyer when filing such a complaint? I’d really appreciate any guidance. Thanks!
Next Article A year ago, two friends, let’s call them Amit and Bhavya, started a school. They appointed me, Chandan, as the principal and another friend, Divya, also worked there. We all invested some money in the school. Amit and Bhavya needed a school bus, so they asked Chandan and Divya to provide blank cheques with promissory notes. They used these cheques to borrow money from a financier. Sadly, the school had to shut down due to lack of permissions and low fees. Now, Amit and Bhavya are demanding their entire investment back, blaming us for the school’s failure. They haven’t even paid salaries for the last 8 months! I have all the evidence, including a message from Andhra Bank about a cheque for Rs. 5 lakh being received. Though we never took any money from them or the financier, they are claiming we are responsible. There was no formal partnership agreement between us. Now, they are threatening legal action. What should I do?
