Your company’s HR department cannot unilaterally extend your workday to 10 hours and change your working days without your consent or a valid agreement. Indian labor laws mandate a maximum of 8 working hours per day and a weekly limit of 48 hours, with provisions for overtime pay.

My grandfather filed a case against me in 2011 for using harsh words. I was 17 then, but the officer mistakenly wrote my age as 19. This meant I was treated as an adult, not a juvenile. Since I was young, my father handled everything and we didn’t challenge the verdict. Now, I need a copy of the case records, but officials say they don’t have them. Will I be able to get a copy of my case file?

I quit my job at a small private company on June 17th, 2016, and my offer letter required a 60-day notice period. I only completed 45 days because I received a better offer from another company. I joined the new company citing personal reasons to my previous employer. Now, I’m requesting my previous company to issue a relieving letter, offering to pay for the remaining 15 days of my notice period. They’re refusing. I informed my new company about this situation before joining, and they said it shouldn’t be a problem. What should I do?

I joined a government organization in 1988 through the employment exchange, along with many others.

Previous Article Namaste! I recently booked a new flat in Mumbai, still under construction, and paid 20% of the total price of ₹45 lakhs. The agreement states I need to pay another 15% once the foundation is complete. My pre-approved loan is for ₹25 lakhs. However, the builder refuses to provide the necessary NOC for my loan application, demanding I pay the remaining ₹7 lakhs first. The building is 15 floors high, and only the foundation work is done. Is this demand justified, or should I seek advice?
Next Article I’m an MCA, Assistant Professor in Tumkur, Karnataka, working at SIT College. Back in August 2014, my ex-wife (a government medical officer) and I jointly purchased a home for 30 lakhs, registering both of us as owners. We also took out a joint loan with equal EMIs (around 16,000 each, totaling 32,000 per month). We got divorced in August 2016. The court ruled in my favor, preventing her from seeking maintenance due to her government job and assets. Since then, her parents (who were officially recognized as tenants paying 8,000 rupees per month) have stopped paying rent. They’re using their influence to try and force me out of my own home, and shockingly, they stopped paying their share of the loan EMI after the divorce judgment. Attorneys have quoted a hefty court fee of 14.5%, which is about 2.5 lakhs, a sum I can’t afford. Could you please suggest a practical solution that I can manage?
