I signed up for a website promising money for product reviews. I worked, but haven’t received a single rupee. The website asked me to upload my KYC documents, which I did (photo, Aadhar, and address proof). Now, I suspect it’s a scam. Could my documents be misused? Should I report this to the police? If so, how? Any advice would be really helpful.

Yes, your documents could be misused. It’s advisable to report this to the police. You can file a complaint online or visit the nearest police station. Keep all communication records with the website and details of your KYC uploads for evidence.

A fellow student from another campus, whom I’d never met, made a comment on Facebook. I responded with sarcasm, using a rude word. He then started abusing me, so I continued my sarcastic banter, jokingly suggesting he pay my canteen bills, since his campus doesn’t have a grand inauguration like ours. He retaliated with a lengthy and racist comment. Despite his continued abuse, I turned off my notifications. Now he’s filed a case against me in the Supreme Court near his hometown. I need to move it to Madras High Court, as it’s my hometown and I’m a 20-year-old student with limited funds. Facing the Supreme Court would be a huge financial burden.

Previous Article My family has been running a joint business since 1948. In 1964, my father bought a house using income from the family business. My grandfather passed away in 1966. The house was initially registered in my uncle’s name through a power of attorney, and then transferred to my father. A dispute arose in 1972 and was settled through an award in 1973, allocating the house to my father. He challenged the award in court but later withdrew the case in 2007. My question is: does this house fall under ancestral property? Does the pooled family property also constitute ancestral property? Can I claim a share in this property and if so, could I seek a stay order to prevent its sale until my claim is settled?
