Driving an uninsured vehicle in India is a punishable offense under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. You could face penalties including fines, suspension of your driving license, and even imprisonment, depending on the severity of the mishap.

Now that my father has passed away, can I claim a share of his property? Would a DNA test proving my uncle is my biological father help my case?

Next Article My family booked a flat in 2015, but the builder has made very little progress. Only one floor out of 26 is complete! We’ve lost faith in their promises and had to cancel the flat. We’ve paid ₹21 lakhs so far, and the agreement says they’ll deduct 10% and refund the rest in installments. We’ve been asking for the refund for over a month, but they’re saying it’ll take 5-6 months! I’m worried about the subvention scheme we took. The builder was supposed to pay the EMIs to the bank until we got the flat. Now that we’ve cancelled, they’ve stopped paying. Should I pay the EMIs until they refund me? Are there any other legal options besides going to consumer court?
