My job in Dubai ended, and I’m now back in India. I have some outstanding credit card and loan payments, and the lenders are calling and threatening my family in Kerala. They even bounced my security checks and are making things very difficult. What can I do to resolve this? What are the laws in India regarding these practices in the UAE?

Indian law does not extend its jurisdiction to debts incurred in the UAE. However, lenders cannot harass your family in India. You can approach the police to file a complaint against harassment. Additionally, you can consult a lawyer to understand your legal options and negotiate a repayment plan with the lenders.

My neighbour’s dal mill, operating next to my home for years, has been causing unbearable air and noise pollution. The constant vibrations and noise make living in my house difficult.

However, I haven’t received any response. What should I do next?

My wife and her brother were attacked in our home by relatives who wanted them to sign a property document. We filed a complaint but didn’t press charges because they were family.

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 My family member was involved in a hit-and-run accident. We learned about it 36 hours later. The police said they received information at 7 am, completed the post-mortem by 1 pm, and cremated the body at 5 pm the same day. We are confused because the body was kept for almost two days. The police said one leg was crushed and they gave a photo to the newspaper but it wasn’t published. They also said the body was starting to smell, so they cremated it quickly. We suspect it might be a murder, not an accident. What can we do to get justice?
