My brother got engaged to a girl, but her father started demanding a large sum of money. We felt pressured and had to call off the wedding. The girl’s family threatened to file a false case against us. Tragically, the girl, her father, and mother took their own lives, leaving a note blaming money lenders and accusing our family of harassment. Now, my brother is in jail. The girl’s relatives are now saying they’ll drop the case if we pay them off. Is there any chance this is true?

It’s unlikely that the girl’s relatives will drop the case for a bribe. Under Indian law, such an agreement would be illegal and unenforceable. You should immediately consult with a lawyer to understand your legal options and the potential consequences of this situation.

I rented a room through Nestaway in September 2016. I received a notice to vacate within 45 days, which I agreed to.

My second marriage, after my first wife passed away, is facing challenges. My current wife has filed for maintenance, seeking a hefty sum of ₹75,000 per month. This is her second marriage as well, and she received ₹13 lakhs in alimony from her previous husband. Her petition states she earns a small amount, ₹3,000 per month, from her father’s school. However, she has also assaulted my mother, leading to charges filed against her. She has also locked me out of my classes, which were my primary source of income. I earned over ₹5 lakhs before these issues arose two years ago, but now earn a mere ₹10,000 per month due to the damage caused. We have a one-year-old daughter together. I’m seeking guidance to minimize or avoid the maintenance payment.

My case was registered in Bangalore in 2013. The FIR was filed back then, but the charge sheet was only submitted in August 2016 under sections 420, 379, and the IT Act (C) (D). I’m looking for some advice on navigating this situation. 1. The complainant is an individual, Mr. X. Is this a case of Mr. X versus me (the accused), or is it the state versus me? The e-courts website says it’s Mr. X versus me. How can I know for sure? Could I explore an out-of-court settlement and get the case quashed? What’s the best approach for this? Should I reach out to Mr. X directly to see if we can reach an understanding? 2. Why did it take so long to file the charge sheet? Isn’t there a timeframe of around 90 days?
