UJust as the title says.
Currently on a short sabbatical and in the middle of a job search. Anyway, I’m at home with not a lot to do and have nothing except my knowledge. So I thought why not put it to some use.
Feel free to ask me anything and I’ll try to provide concise and practical answers/advice in a day’s time (or two) free of charge obviously hahaha.
No pressure tho. Just trying to be helpful and make better use of my time.
Cheers and have a great week ahead!
Edit: Yes, I am aware of the typo in the title and I apologise for it. I am not a criminal but a criminal lawyer. Thank you for humbling me 🥲

Uif a junior criminal lawyer abuses her position to send police in civil case (which should be handled by municipality) to harass someone, what can be done against that person?
-
UI need a reply to this as well. If someone abuses power to send police at home, whereas it should have been a civil court case, what do you do?

LPolice can only do lip service and is used to show muscle power . It can actually do anything unless an FIR or complaint has been registered. If no such thing has happe ed…no need to worry. In case some arbit FIR or complaint has been made u can move the court for its quashing .
If there’s some specific police officer who’s harassing you without any cause . Make a written complaint to their superior and cc the highest authority as well. That should solve the problem .

CDoes India have anything similar to Right to Repair like US? i.e. can companies enforce the “warrenty void if removed” sticker??
-
UInteresting question. So as far as I know, there is a developing RTR framework in India, but it is quite nascent. Firstly, it depends a lot on which electronic device, brand and the model we’re talking about as not all devices are covered in the framework. There is no universal right or mechanism for this. Secondly, the present state of the framework is such that it only focuses on redirecting customers to official blogs and customer services for the covered brands, and not OG spare parts or tutorials like in the EU and the US. As far as those clauses go, yes, these still exist and are enforceable under the present Indian law. Whether the company would enforce it and take some action against the customer or not is a completely different question though.
Hope this helps. Thanks for asking, even I got to learn something new 🙂

UHow did you choose this particular practise area? Do you have other qualifications, in addition to a law degree?
-
UOut of personal interest in these fields and how lucrative they would be in the coming years. It’s my belief (I can be wrong lol) that the fields are already intersecting a lot and would continue to do so because of which there would be a demand for lawyers that understand how the tech actually works. Nothing except a basic five year LL.B 🙂

UIP Lawyer here. They are followed extremely seriously if the aggrieved party initiates an action.
To exemplify it further, courts regularly pass orders against the vendors selling copycat apparels and merch. Police raids and seizures are consequently made.
Furthermore, numerous websites are also taken down for content piracy, TM Infringement, Domain Name Disputes, etc. (Google, “Ashok Kumar Orders” or “John Doe Orders”)
These are just a few examples. IP is a vast domain and covers a lot more than traditional IPs like TMs, Copyrights, and Patents.

VFamily and friends gave money to a businessman (family friend) on interest.
Some payments were made in cheque some in cash.
Some have received some interest some have not.
Creditor did issue some blank cheque and also gave it in writing that he owes money.
Not the Partnership firm which got the money is closed.
What action could be taken?
There was a police report made a few years back.
Is this barred by statute of limitation?

UYou can file an application for defreezing bank account (termed differently in different places). If the chargesheet has been filed, you’d need to hire a lawyer and file as an interested third party. I am presuming you are not added as an accused. If you have been named in the FIR/chargesheet/added as accused, you can file the application once process has been issued. Depending under which provision it has been frozen, you can frame your grounds accordingly. If the application before the trial court is unsuccessful, you can approach the sessions/high court under revision/writ jurisdiction.
This is a broad idea as to how you can go about it. You would however require a lawyer as it seems unlikely that the police would defreeze it simply if you ask them to.

EHow serious is the government with the adoption of regtech for clearing out backlogs in commercial or property rights cases? (I strongly believe making use of technology to dispose off a lot of trivial cases can reduce the burden and increase legal access to a vast majority of people. It appears to be a limiting factor in growth, but I could be wrong.)

UI am a first year student of CLC DU, pursuing my 3 year LLB. What career advice would you give me?
-
UDon’t succumb to peer pressure. Litigation is not as discouraging as it is made out to be (however you do need some support in the initial years). There are more options that just corporate and litigation so choose wisely. Don’t waste your time with pointless certificate courses. Do a variety of internships and keep your CV as simple as possible. Hope this helps 🙂

UWe’re building an AI notetaker app for offline conversations. Do you think it would be useful for lawyers to record hearings and analyse it later with AI support, etc?

UBeing first generation if i would pursue law. Will it really really hard in litigation? Can a litigation lawyer also become technology or Cyber security lawyer.
-
-
-
UYes, it is difficult as a first-gen lawyer in litigation because you need to build your practice from scratch. Yes, you can become a tech/cybersecurity lawyer while being a litigator. But there are plenty of good examples of first-gen litigators so it’s not as discouraging as it may seem. If however you wish to enter litigation, my suggestion would be to start in your hometown or a city where you have some support, and your basic needs (roti, kapda, makaan) are taken care of.

ECan relatives claim ancestral assets which are on my dad’s name?
My dad has inherited a lot from his ancestors. It’s worth north of 150 crores and It’s all on my dad’s name only. After my dad, do the assets come to me since I’m his son or can my dad’s relatives (sisters and nephews) also claim them?

WHow can I complaint about my cyber abuses? As in how can i take it seriously legal? Dont suggest me to file an online compliant, it dosnet work at all
-
UI know online complaints are not helpful at all. They only help in having something on record as the police are often unwilling to entertain such cases. My suggestion would be to file a written complaint with the police station and push for an FIR (not an NC) somehow because without an FIR, the police unfortunately cannot do anything. If they refuse to register, you can write a letter to the zonal DCP. Thereafter, you do have an option to approach a magistrate’s court (better to hire a lawyer for this).
(This is just a broad idea as to what you can do; it depends a lot on the offences and the severity of the allegations you would raise)

UNot sure if it is related,but Why cyber crime victims get no refund or help in general ? Is it that hard to track criminals ? I mean you got the bank account and you can track the whole transaction flow.
-
UIn my limited experience, what tends to often happen is that the money is moved very quickly by the fraudsters and the police’s capabilities (without an FIR) are fairly limited. If you’re lucky to have an FIR registered, conducting the investigation successfully is a lot of hassle for the police. They may even write a letter to the bank but by the time any action is taken/response is received, the money is gone. The proceeds are also often converted into crypto and transferred to a wallet outside the country. An officer had once told me to approach the police as soon as the fraud occurs but even then, many people have been unable to recover their money.

UGreetings ,I bought an item through Flipkart worth Rs. 350 which came with a warranty. I have received a defective product which I could not return. I raised for a warranty request for which the seller is telling they will send screw for replacement of wornout screw but freight is to be borne by me. I refused to pay freight so they hung up my warranty request. What option do I have?

UMeta has deducted money from my credit card last year and no one – cops, bank official or lawyers are able to help. Cops called it not a theft since third party is known. My lawyer called it criminal as there is gone from my account and is not returned inspite of Meta saying they will refund on email. Issue happened in Feb 2024. It’s 2025. I’m stuck running around.

UI was looking for a property purchase in NoBroker and the RM made me to pay a token amount of 1 Lakh rupees. I several times told him that I’ll not make the payment until I discuss with my family members to finalise the property. He promised me that the amount will be refunded if you want to cancel the deal within 45 days of payment. Moreover he said the documents shall be provided only if the token amount is paid. He sent an email and made the payment to NoBroker through Google pay. Payment was done on January 19 2024.till last Sunday the RM promised me that the amount will be refunded. All of a sudden I got a random call from a different number and I explained the issue the person who called me said that you money will not be refunded
