My wife has filed a dowry harassment case against me, accusing me of accepting money from her mother before our marriage. She claims this was a dowry, but we actually used 1.5 lakhs of it to buy her gold, which we have receipts for. Can I argue that this was a gift and avoid conviction?My wife’s mother has been demanding a lot from us, especially since our child’s birth. She even stayed with my wife for 5 months before the baby was born, putting a lot of pressure on us. My wife also shared some things with me over WhatsApp, can those be used as evidence in court? Will she face any consequences for her accusations?We are a middle-class family and her mother’s demands have been very stressful. What steps can we take against them?

Dear Sir/Madam,My mother, Late Smt. Jumana Devi, held a Jeevan Anand policy (No. 331636451) with a sum assured of Rs. 1 lakh for the past 11 years. We paid 10 premiums totaling Rs. 140,000/-. Upon her passing, we received a claim of Rs. 139,000/- which was less than the total premiums paid. When I spoke to the LIC CRM Manager, they claimed the claim was calculated correctly, including the sum assured, bonus, and other benefits. They also stated that any legal challenge would likely favor LIC.Should I pursue legal action against LIC? If so, could you provide me with any recent court judgments or case numbers related to similar situations?Thank you for your time and guidance.

My parents signed a General Power of Attorney (GPA) in 2005, giving their son the right to sell our family’s apartment building. He has already sold many flats. Now, we want to sell some of the remaining flats. The GPA was signed and notarized back then. Will it still be valid in 2016? Will banks give us a loan? Are there legal issues we need to be aware of?

My husband owed someone 2.45 lakhs, but we never actually received this money. The lender was putting pressure on us, so we agreed to pay back 20 thousand rupees each month. We started paying in December 2014. He collected 13 blank cheques from us, promising to only withdraw 17,000 rupees each time and to not write the amount on the cheques. My husband signed the cheques and filled in the payee’s name. We finished paying the entire amount in January 2016, leaving one cheque with him. We called the bank and cancelled that cheque. To our shock, he deposited the cancelled cheque yesterday for 13,000 rupees. The bank returned the cheque due to a “stop payment” instruction. Can we file a case against him for cheque bouncing?

My friend, who gave birth on March 31st, started her maternity leave a day earlier on March 30th. Now, six weeks after her delivery, her boss, the company CEO, is pressuring her to take on some work. He’s also suggesting she change her work schedule from five days a week to half-day shifts. Is it legal for her employer to ask her to work before her full 12 weeks of maternity leave are up? Is the legally allowed maternity leave actually 12 weeks? What’s the best way for my friend to respond to her boss? Could she even take legal action for a hostile work environment?

My family has been running a shop in Panipat, Haryana, for over 40 years. It’s been in my name since 1982, but I’m unmarried. I want to ensure my brother or sister inherits the shop after I pass on. However, transferring the tenancy has been stuck for years. Is there a legal way to make this happen?

My marriage took place a month and a half ago. Recently, I discovered that my wife and her family misled me and my family about her education. They claimed she was a good student and had finished her final year exams, but we’ve learned she has pending backlogs from earlier semesters. This feels like a betrayal of trust, and I’m considering divorce. Is this a valid reason to seek legal separation in India?

My friend and I started an industrial gas business. He had ten years of experience, but I was new to the field. I put in all the capital, and we agreed to share control of the finances. Within four months, the business account was empty, and I never received any expense or income reports. I kept making loan payments, but there was no profit. I repeatedly asked for detailed records, but my requests were ignored. The company eventually closed, but the financial situation remained unclear.

A group of Central Government employees in India were dismissed from their jobs. They fought for justice in the Allahabad High Court and won, getting their jobs back. But the government appealed the High Court’s decision. Will these employees be allowed to continue working while the appeal is pending, or will they be considered out of service again?

A prominent businessman, formerly the chairman of a non-banking company, faces 16 ongoing cases across different locations. He’s already served a 10-year sentence for his involvement in over 100 cases. While out on bail for the remaining 16 cases, the frequent travel for court appearances is proving challenging. Are there any solutions to consolidate these hearings in a single location?

My husband was forced into marrying me by his family. Two months later, he confessed the truth: he agreed to the marriage because he needed money from my parents. This was followed by six months of emotional abuse. If my husband is only with me for financial reasons, I want a divorce. I also want my dowry back, which my parents gave to his family. What are my legal options?
