BYou have the right to seek copies of your evaluated answer scripts under the Right to Information Act, as confirmed by the Supreme Court in multiple cases. If the college is a public authority or affiliated with one, it is bound to respond to a valid RTI request. If they have not responded within 30 days, or if they rejected the request without justification, you can file a first appeal under the RTI Act.
If that also fails, a second appeal can be filed before the State or Central Information Commission, depending on the college’s status. You should also preserve a copy of your RTI application and any reply received.
BCourts generally require that you first use the remedies available within the system. Unless you can show that you attempted re-evaluation and filed a formal grievance and received no response or an arbitrary one, no court will intervene.BSince this was a university exam, your first step should be to check whether the university has a formal process for re-evaluation or academic grievances. Most institutions have some internal mechanism, and you should file a written representation as soon as possible.If the paper was genuinely marked arbitrarily without explanation, that is something you can raise within the system. Whether there is any legal remedy beyond that would depend on how the university responds and whether you are looking to escalate it further. For now, focus on getting a written record of your complaint.
BThis is too vague to assess. Whether any legal remedy is available will depend on the context. Was this a university examination or an internal test? Was any reason given for marking the paper zero? Was there any disciplinary action or academic misconduct alleged? You will need to get more clarity from the institution first. Once the facts are clear, there may be internal grievance mechanisms or legal options depending on the situation.BWhat you are dealing with involves serious legal concerns that affect not just your company but the broader public. If tampering is occurring in fuel dispensing systems, it raises legal concerns under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Legal Metrology Act, the Consumer Protection Act, and possibly even the Competition Act, depending on the scale and impact. These are serious legal violations because they involve misleading the public in essential transactions.The Legal Metrology Act mandates accurate measurement in commercial dealings. If fuel dispensers are being manipulated through internal hardware like pulsers, that would directly violate the standards for weights and measures. It is not necessary for the customer to prove intent at every outlet. The presence of a vulnerability and its exploitation by pump operators is sufficient to trigger regulatory action, especially if the manufacturer has knowledge and does not act.
The Consumer Protection Act prohibits unfair trade practices, including the sale of goods using deceptive methods. If consumers are consistently receiving less fuel than what they are charged for, and the system is designed or allowed to function in a way that enables this, there is a clear basis for consumer complaints and regulatory inquiry. If this affects many petrol pumps across the country, it is not just a private grievance but a public harm.
If your company is aware of the vulnerability and has not taken corrective measures, it could also attract scrutiny under the Competition Act, particularly if this affects market integrity or gives an unfair advantage to certain suppliers or retailers. Allowing faulty or manipulable systems to remain in circulation without disclosure can amount to an abuse of dominance or collusive conduct in some circumstances.
It is good that you are thinking of approaching the authorities, but it is important to do this carefully. Your position inside the company gives you access to critical information, but it also puts you at risk of professional retaliation. While the law recognises the right to report wrongdoing, you should ensure your disclosures are made in good faith to a public authority, not to the media or the public at large. The Legal Metrology Department and the Department of Consumer Affairs are two appropriate bodies to receive such complaints. Both have the power to inspect, investigate, and take enforcement action.
If the issue is widespread and involves large-scale consumer harm, a public interest litigation before a High Court may also be appropriate. That would require evidence, framing the petition in the public interest, and carefully presenting your role to avoid personal risk. Courts have intervened in similar cases where consumer rights and regulatory oversight were at stake.
If you are serious about taking this forward, I can help you assess the best legal route and prepare the necessary documentation, including communications to regulators or court petitions, while protecting your position throughout. Let me know if you would like to discuss this further.
BHi, lawyer here, based in Delhi.You need to get the land measured and demarcated officially through the local tehsildar or land records office. Once boundaries are confirmed, send a legal notice to the brick kiln owner to remove the encroachment and stop using your land. If they do not comply, file a civil suit for injunction and possession. You can also ask the court to appoint a commissioner to mark boundaries and get a police protection order if needed.
BNo employer has the right to withhold salary or demand a refund of wages already paid, especially when there is no misconduct established through due process. Changing targets retroactively and deleting version history could amount to falsification of records. Preventing you from resigning or leaving without meeting unlawful conditions is also illegal.You have strong legal remedies available, both to recover your dues and to protect yourself from further coercion. I am a lawyer based in Delhi. If you would like to take action or even just understand your options clearly, feel free to reach out.
BLawyer here, based in Delhi.>Can I still register an FIR after three days of being released under Section 151?
Yes, you can still file an FIR even after a few days have passed, especially in serious cases involving assault, criminal intimidation, and attempted murder. The delay can be reasonably explained by your trauma, medical treatment, and the fact that you were detained. Your medical report, injuries, and past threats documented in WhatsApp messages and voice notes will strengthen your case.
>Can I file a complaint for falsely imposing Section 151 on me?
While Section 151 CrPC is preventive in nature and does not involve a formal FIR, if you were the one who called the police and there were no visible injuries on your brother or his wife, this may be relevant in establishing that you acted in self-defense. If the police acted unfairly or colluded with your brother, you can bring this to the notice of senior police officials or even the magistrate, if needed.
>Should I go to the police station or directly write to the SP (Superintendent of Police)?
Given your concern about local police bias, it may be prudent to directly write a detailed complaint to the Superintendent of Police (SP) or Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).
>If he falsely files an FIR for assault on him and his wife, what action should I take?
If your brother files a false FIR, you have the right to defend yourself legally. Since you already have medical evidence and records of threats, these can help you obtain anticipatory bail if required and contest any false allegations.
