BThere is no limitation period for criminal cases and the fact that she is an adult now is not very useful for you, even if the sexting was consensual.BYes, there is a potential risk, even though [Career4Assam.com](http://Career4Assam.com) is not trademarked. Trademark infringement is not just about exact matches but also about whether a name is deceptively similar to an existing trademark and could confuse users.
The owners of AssamCareer.com might argue ‘passing off,’ meaning your domain name could mislead people into thinking your site is affiliated with theirs. The risk increases if both websites offer similar services, like job listings and career guidance for Assam. If AssamCareer.com is well-known and actively enforces its trademark, they might take legal action. However, if their trademark only covers a logo and not the words “Assam Career” as a whole, their claim would be weaker.
If you are set on Career4Assam.com, consider using distinct branding and a clear disclaimer that you are not affiliated with AssamCareer.com. But if you want to eliminate legal risks, tweaking the name to make it more unique would be the safest option.
BThis needs to be filed in Supreme Court in Delhi (if you are not in Madhya Pradesh) or in the High Court in Jabalpur (if you are in Madhya Pradesh). You would typically not need to travel in either case.BLawyer here. If you are in a different state, you can approach the Supreme Court for a transfer of the case to a local court. The court is usually in favor of granting a transfer in favor of the wife in these cases.BDepends on where this will be filed because while video conferencing is allowed everywhere, it does not always work smoothly in every court. Some courts have stable VC setups, while others face technical issues or delays.You can submit testimony via affidavit, written interrogatories, or through a local commissioner. If cross-examination is required, VC is an option, but how well it works depends on the courtās infrastructure.
If avoiding VC problems is a concern, it’s better to push for written testimony first and see if the court accepts it without requiring oral evidence.
BLawyer here. Yes. A person outside India can file a case in India through a General or Special Power of Attorney. However, your personal testimony is essential to prove the case.Bince you are living and working in AP, you donāt necessarily have to fight the case in Delhi. You can file for divorce in AP itself, as courts allow filing at the place where either spouse resides. This would make things much easier for you and prevent unnecessary travel.Regarding alimony, thereās no fixed formula, but courts generally consider the wifeās income, the husbandās financial standing, and other factors. Since she is earning ā¹6L CTC, a demand of ā¹50L is quite high and unlikely to be granted if you contest it. Courts typically award a one-time lump sum based on need rather than an arbitrary amount, and **negotiation plays a big role in mutual divorces.**
If she insists on filing in Delhi, and you want to avoid that, you can contest the jurisdiction. Shifting the case to AP could put you in a better position during settlement talks. Hope this helps, and stay strongādivorce negotiations can be tough, but you have options.
BThe thing is though it is not up to police to implement this and definitely their actions here were illegal.BSince youāve already filed a consumer complaint, Air India will definitely respond, but expect them to drag it out as long as possible. They might delay hearings, give vague responses, or even try to settle for a lower amount.Best thing you can do now is stay on top of the case; check for updates regularly and push for hearings if they keep stalling. If they donāt refund in a reasonable time, you can also ask for extra compensation for the harassment caused by the delay.
If they offer a partial settlement, make sure youāre not shortchanged. If you want to speed things up or make a stronger case for damages, getting legal help could be worth considering.
BAn FIR canāt technically be ācanceledā after registration, but it can be closed. In your case, the police may have resolved the matter but never properly submitted a closure report to the court. Thatās likely why youāre still getting a summon.You donāt necessarily have to go to Delhi. A lawyer can appear on your behalf and submit a request for closure, explaining that the case was already resolved. If itās just a procedural issue, this should be a straightforward fix.
Itās best to handle this now rather than let it escalate. If you need help figuring out the exact status and next steps, getting legal assistance could make the process much smoother.
BIt is good that you are considering all possibilities before moving forward. Since you think she may agree to a mutual divorce, the best approach is to have an open but careful conversation. Start the conversation calmly and privately. Avoid accusations or emotional arguments; frame it as a mutual decision for both of your well-being. Be prepared for different reactions. Even if she seems uninterested in the marriage, she might resist divorce due to emotional, financial, or social reasons. Since you have a jointly owned apartment and house loan, financial settlement discussions should be handled carefully to avoid future disputes.If mutual divorce is agreed upon, you both can file a petition. If she refuses mutual divorce, you may have to explore grounds like mental cruelty or irretrievable breakdown of marriage, but this can take longer.
BYes, a marriage performed according to proper Sikh rituals is legally valid under the Hindu Marriage Act, even if it is not registered. However, non-registration may create procedural hurdles, especially in matters like divorce, inheritance, or visa applications.If the couple now lives abroad, their country of residence may have different requirements for recognizing the marriage. In some cases, an official registration or additional proof of marriage (such as wedding photos, affidavits, or witness statements) may be required for legal proceedings or documentation purposes.
If they are seeking a divorce or need to prove their marriage for legal paperwork, they may need to register it retroactively.
B**This is a clear case of police harassment and abuse of power, and there are strong legal remedies available. You need to follow these steps strategically:**1. **File a written complaint** with the **SP** detailing the threats, beating, and forced closure. Keep a copy and ask for a written acknowledgment.
2. **Escalate the complaint to the State Police Complaint Authority (PCA).** Every state has one, and they handle cases of police misconduct.
3. **Gather evidence**: If possible, record future threats or get witness statements. CCTV footage, medical reports (if anyone was injured), or call recordings will strengthen your case.
4. **If there is no action within a reasonable time, you can file a Writ Petition in the High Court** to seek protection and an order against police harassment. Courts have ruled against such misuse of power before.If you need guidance on drafting complaints or moving to the High Court if authorities do not act, feel free to reach out.
BAs the mother of a deceased son, she has rights to his assets, pension, and other benefits, depending on succession laws and nominations. If her son did not leave a will, the Hindu Succession Act (if applicable) entitles her to a share of his estate. If the daughter-in-law is withholding information or assets, legal steps can be taken to claim her rightful share. Consulting a lawyer can help determine the best course of action to secure her financial interests. Feel free to reach out if legal guidance is needed.
