My friend went to the police station to file a complaint after his phone was stolen from his pocket while on a bus. The police initially refused to register his complaint. However, after he insisted, they finally filed a complaint and gave him a copy. Can he now file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the High Court about this?

No, your friend cannot file a PIL in this case. PILs are typically used to raise public issues of significant concern, not individual grievances. Your friend should pursue his complaint through the existing legal channels, such as by seeking a status update on the investigation from the police.

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?
