My family hired a young woman, older than 14, to help with our baby. Now, the police are accusing us of child labor. I thought it was legal to employ someone over 14, especially since she didn’t do anything dangerous. What should we do?

Even if the young woman is older than 14, employing a minor for domestic work is illegal in India. You need to consult a lawyer immediately. They can advise you on the legal implications and potential consequences of employing a minor for domestic work.

I was accused of being involved in a bribe case. The person who gave the bribe confessed to the police that he deposited the money in someone else’s account. The account holder also told the police that he received the money and gave it to me, even though I never actually received it. The police issued a warrant for my arrest, and I went to the police station. During the investigation, I admitted that I never received the money and wasn’t involved in any fraud with the accused. However, the accused later denied his confession in court. The account holder is going to testify the same way in court. I’m worried about what to do next. How dangerous is this situation for me?

I was caught riding my bike, just outside a bar (the police were waiting), on the 15th of August 2016. They gave me a breathalyzer test within an hour, and the reading was 102. They then took me to the police station. I called a friend and got out on bail. They took my registration papers, license, and bike. They told me to return to the police station on the 19th of August. My questions are: 1. Will I have to appear in court on the 19th? 2. If I do have to go to court, should I plead guilty? 3. Will this incident be recorded, and will it affect future applications like a passport, visa, or background checks? I am a Hindu.

Next Article I joined a new job on December 7th and resigned on March 3rd, but I didn’t have to complete a notice period because I hadn’t worked for three months. Out of courtesy, I stayed an extra week to finish up paperwork and hand over my work. My resignation was approved after I completed everything. The problem is, the company hasn’t paid me my February salary or the few days I worked in March. I call them every day, but they keep giving me excuses or don’t pick up the phone. I’m not getting paid, just excuses. Can I take legal action?
