Under Indian law, the police can seize your car if it’s involved in an accident, causing damage to public property like a median. You can challenge the seizure by seeking legal advice and approaching the appropriate court with a petition.

Previous Article My wife left home after a fight a few days ago. We filed a Section 9 case but she hasn’t appeared in court. I was called to the CAW cell today, and they accused me of many things, putting immense pressure to take her back. They even threatened jail. I can’t live with all these false accusations, so I told them I wouldn’t. If she wants to come back, she can do it through the court proceedings. However, the CAW cell is still pressurizing me. My next hearing is on the 27th. What should I do? Please guide me.
Next Article We renewed our contract with a driver’s syndicate in Bangalore on September 21st, 2016, for three months after paying them a deposit of ₹30,000. We have a copy of the agreement. The driver stopped working, claiming the company hadn’t paid him his dues. We told the driver’s agency we no longer wanted his services and asked for our deposit back, along with the driver’s unpaid wages. Now, the driver is harassing us and threatening legal action. He received partial payment from the agency and still demands his salary from us, despite our full payment to the company. The company isn’t responding properly. They say we should pay the driver because we broke the contract, but refuse to return our deposit.
