RHi! Can any lawyers advice me on this?
I live in Hyderabad. My landlord is refusing to give my deposit (37k) back, not responding to messages.What happens if I break cupboards, smash sinks and commode the last day, and leave to Mumbai immediately? Will this be a criminal case? Are there any long term implications, for my future employment in another state?
Before criticizing me, I’m a 100% regular guy, work as a PM in tech, 37k is nothing to me. I’m just sick and tired of entitled society, goons taking advantage of us. I feel folks like me don’t fight back, and I don’t want to take this lying around.

MPractising Advocate here. For the landlord to prove that you had a malicious intention would be impossible; thus, a criminal case would be unlikely to be sustained. However, he shall use the security deposit amount to pay the damages.
To be honest, this is not the right way to address the situation. I understand the frustration that you are through because of how society is and how it treats you by abusing its power. I would suggest have a legal notice sent to the landlord and take things forward, if you really don’t mind spending on legal fees.

RThank you for responding, appreciate it.
From what I read online, the legal notice and following through with it will take a long time, and the cost will be > the 37k at stake here. Is this something I can do online/ self- represent? (I’ve self-represented before in US during an employment dispute).
Agree that this is not the right way, the easy way out is to just forget about it and move on. But part of me feels we common folks don’t stand up to these bullies, and it keeps happening. Same as how shiv sena goons can come and smash a comedy club or movie theater, and we movie goers just stand and watch
