In India, you’ll need to register your NGO with the Societies Registration Act, 1860, or the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. Additionally, you’ll need to obtain a PAN card, and if receiving foreign funding, FCRA registration is necessary.

A disgruntled citizen, upset with a ruling by a local official, harbored resentment. He chose not to appeal the decision but instead pursued a campaign of complaints and harassment. Despite repeated attempts, he failed to obtain government intervention. After a decade, he filed criminal charges, citing minor clerical errors in the original order. Both the Magistrate and the Sessions Court dismissed his claims. He has now approached the High Court, citing a technical legal provision, and a notice has been issued. The official needs to prepare a defense, beyond the Judge Protection Act, to counter these accusations.

My husband wants to adopt my son, but we’re confused about the process. Our lawyer says stepchild adoption isn’t possible, mentioning HAMA and a give and take procedure. Since I’m my son’s mother, how can I “give” him to my husband? If the lawyer is wrong, what wording should the adoption deed have? Alternatively, could we explore joint custody or my husband sharing custody of my son? My divorce was granted without my ex-husband’s presence due to his abandonment (he’s been missing for 7 years). The decree doesn’t mention custody. Should I get sole custody from the court first?

Next Article My name was legally changed after college, and I updated my passport, PAN card, and driving license accordingly. But now, the RTO in Bangalore won’t issue me a Yellow Badge for a commercial driver’s license because my name on my 10th standard marksheet is different. Even the university won’t change the name on my marksheet. Since I used the same affidavit to change my passport and PAN card, why won’t they accept it now? Can I legally challenge this decision or send a notice to the RTO? Or are they right to refuse my affidavit?
