There is no legal bar in India against running a ration shop and serving as a temple priest simultaneously. However, ethical concerns may arise regarding potential conflict of interest or perceived bias in using your position as a priest for personal gain. It’s advisable to maintain transparency and ensure your actions are not seen as exploiting your religious position for financial benefit.

My wife joined the Karnataka Irrigation Department in 2003. She was transferred to the Public Works Department (PWD) in July 2016 after completing the necessary procedures. However, in 2017, the Irrigation Department issued a circular asking for the reversal of her 2016 transfer. Since the Irrigation and PWD were merged departments when my wife joined in 2003, could we challenge this circular by filing an appeal with the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal?

Previous Article My wife left me a year ago, leaving a letter accusing me of abuse. I filed a complaint with the women’s police station hoping they could help us reunite.

Next Article My housing society in Mumbai has four blocks, two of which are already occupied with around 1,500 flats. The remaining two blocks are under construction. My block has 11 buildings, each forming a separate society with roughly 60 flats. The plan is to create a larger association for all these societies to manage the clubhouse, gym, park, and common areas. I purchased a 1,000 square foot apartment with a parking spot. This parking is located on the podium level, which also houses the clubhouse and amenities. The location and number of my parking spot are clearly marked in the registered agreement. However, the builder is still managing the podium and the conveyance deed hasn’t been issued yet. The entire project, consisting of all four blocks, is under one approved plan and is expected to be completed in 6-7 years. Many flat owners didn’t purchase parking and are now claiming that all parking spots will be reallocated. Is this possible? Can my parking be taken away even though I paid for it?
