Under Indian law, the drunk driver is legally responsible for the accident and its damages, including your car repairs. You can file a claim with the police or directly with the driver’s insurance company to recover these costs.

Hello, I’m facing traffic challans for Rs. 1,000, Rs. 500, and Rs. 2,000. Can you tell me about the fees a lawyer would charge to get these cleared? Also, do I need to submit the original documents or will a photo copy work? Thanks, Harshveer

I had an accident back in 2012 and the lower court awarded me ₹5 lakhs in compensation. I appealed to the High Court with a different lawyer and they added another ₹80,000 to the compensation. The cheque is now with the lower court, but they’re asking me to bring my original lawyer to identify me before they release the cheque. Unfortunately, I can’t find that lawyer now. Is there any way I can get the cheque from the court?

How can I stop this daily harassment?

Previous Article I got married last year to a woman I loved, but I’ve discovered she’s older than she claimed. She said she was 22, but her marriage certificate showed she’s actually 7-8 years older. I also learned about her past relationships and that she’s still in touch with some of her exes. After I confronted her, she left home and won’t tell me where she is now. I want a divorce, but she refuses and keeps threatening to file cases against me and my family. I’m feeling very lost and helpless. What should I do? I need guidance on how to move forward and find some peace.
