You may have a legal claim for “adverse possession” if you have continuously resided in the house for over 12 years. You should consult with a lawyer immediately to assess your specific situation and explore all legal options, including filing a counterclaim against the eviction suit.

I recently bought a flat in Chennai from a well-known builder. The agreement mentions two covered car parking spaces, which I paid for separately. However, after taking possession, I found an open space above the parking area with windows along the wall. This poses a risk of objects falling. The builder refuses to cover this opening. Our agreement states that disputes should be settled through the Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1968. What legal options do I have?

Previous Article I deposited a cheque of ₹8,000 into my bank account on May 2nd, 2016. Unfortunately, it bounced due to insufficient funds in the payer’s account. When I contacted him, he gave me vague excuses. He did return half the money within 20 days of the bounce, but the remaining ₹4,000 is still outstanding. He keeps promising to pay soon, saying things like “I’ll give it today,” or “I’ll deposit it tomorrow,” but nothing happens. I’m worried about losing this money and can’t afford a lawyer to help me. Is there any way I can get my money back?
Next Article I’m facing a really tough situation. I’ve been through a lot of mental stress at work because of the bad work culture and office politics. I refuse to play that game and it’s taken a toll on me. I haven’t been going to work for a month now to protect myself. My company is sending me a legal notice because I left before my one-year contract was up (I only worked for 6 months). They want Rs. 1 lakh from me! I can’t afford a lawyer. What can I do?
