I bought a flat in 2014 and paid service charges for the under-construction property. Given the Delhi High Court ruling on June 3rd stating homebuyers shouldn’t pay service tax on under-construction apartments, can anyone advise on claiming back these charges from the government or builder? When should I consult with an expert?

The Delhi High Court ruling applies to service tax levied on under-construction apartments, not service charges for maintenance and amenities. You may be able to claim back service tax paid on your flat, but not service charges. Consult a legal expert to assess your specific situation and advise on potential claims.

My grandfather, who passed away two months ago at the age of 87, had four sons. One of his sons, my uncle, received 26 bigha of land and a house from our grandfather. However, we believe this transfer was done fraudulently and without my grandfather’s consent. He was suffering from paralysis and unable to make sound decisions. We are considering filing a legal case against my uncle and his sons to challenge this transfer. I have a few questions: 1. If we file a case, how long will it take for the court to issue a stay order to prevent them from making any changes to the house? 2. What is the estimated timeframe for the case to be decided and what would be the approximate cost of hiring a lawyer?
