BYour family is not legally liable for your sister’s debt. What the loan shark was doing is standard among loan sharks where they visit the house / office, then file a complaint saying they were harassed and assaulted by the people in that house when they went to recover a loan.
Don’t worry about it too much. Advise your parents to be patient and not let people in their houses again, and install cameras so they can record forceful entry into their property.
If the loan collector is from a bank, send a legal notice to the bank. If he’s from an nbfc, do the same. If he’s the local loan shark, send a notice directly and file a police complaint. I’m not well versed with Kerala’s state laws but I believe they do have an act regarding these independent loan providers and how much interest they can charge and what they should and shouldn’t do. Proceed forward with a lawyer in accordance with those laws.
The quickest way to resolve this however, would be for your sister to repay the said loan.
BYou’ll end up paying more for lawyers than you will gain from having these two people stop parking in front of your house.The expensive option is to get an injunction order.
The cheaper option is to get big potted plants and keep them outside your house, making it impossible for them to park without blocking the road.
BPeople seem to think anyone can sue anybody in this country like these plaints grow from trees. You have no locus standi (standing) to sue the NGO. If you’ve seen “horrible activities”, report them to the concerned authorities. There are departments involved in regulating their activities and actions to make sure it’s in accordance with the laws delegated by them. The Indian trusts act is one of them. If they’re a charitable trust you could also file a complaint to the IT department to revoke their status as one and have them pay taxes for their donations.YOU CANNOT SUE RANDOM PEOPLE ON THE STREET FOR DAMAGES UNLESS THEY VIOLATE YOUR PERSONAL RIGHTS.
BYou can’t sue your employer because he’s shit at managing the company. You can probably sue them for harassment but you’ll need to show evidence if you want to see damages. Example would be being forced to work longer than 60 hours a week, delayed salary payments, constant denial of leave, sexual harrasment, etc..The problem is the legislature is so weak it’s almost non existent. Nothing prevents your employer from firing you after you file a suit for damages against you. There is also nothing stopping them from spreading that information onto a black list, preventing future employment in other places.
You can quit, nothing stops you from doing so. You can rant about their company on LinkedIn or Glassdoor or reddit. They’ll probably try to sue. But you can say it’s your opinion or whatever and get away with it.
Working for companies sucks ass man. Very weak laws to protect employees from exploitation. The law that does exist leaves it open to interpretation, and it’ll take a while for your case to be properly settled. Because they will appeal, and so will you. Until 20 years later they decide to settle with you, which will pretty much sum up your costs incurred for the law suit and the appeals in such cases so you’re back to square one, except youre much older now.
BActively discriminating on the basis of gender can invite civil suits against you. But it also depends on what services you offer.Less Exam fees and cut off concessions are made based on laws enacted in the country, which delegate powers to certain bodies to act autonomously.
If you’re going to offer educational services and actively discriminate on the basis of gender, you can be sued, whether you win or not depends on your lawyer.
BWhy didn’t you Google it then? Time is money and it is especially so for advocates who spend all day in court and all night in their offices. If you don’t like a lawyer charging consultation fees then don’t go to one that does.BNothing prevents anyone from saying whatever they want, subject to the law. Article 19 triumphs over everything, however the same is subject to exceptions such as defamation.Defamation is a criminal offence in this country, however it’s rare that anyone goes to jail for it, so most people opt to sue. Most corporate entities nowadays resort to suing in the commercial court saying their brand has been disparaged, and since it is a commercial court case (not really if you ask me) it’s more expensive to hire such lawyers than if it was a civil case.
So most people on the internet when criticising these corporates for bad products (sometimes with actual fact other times not) end up settling by taking down whatever post they made, or spend money they may not have to hire lawyers to compete in court.
In this case, it’s highly likely that this youtuber would win, but why risk it, when one does not know the law properly. The food pharmer guy who posted about unhealthy food in indigo was sued too, he ended up taking down his video on Instagram.
Corporate brands are worth a lot of money, and to corporates, spending money on lawyers isn’t an expense, it’s a tax break. But really it only takes one guy with the balls to fight in court to break all of this, because these suits in the commercial court never reach its end, it’s always settled.
BHi. Advocate here. You’ll need to go to the police station, ideally with a local lawyer to make sure everything goes smoothly. Find out what happened in the accident, and collect a report. I hope you have third party insurance. Do you get an invoice from the friend who takes care of your car? Did you file a police complaint when you “no longer saw your car”? Was your car regularly serviced?BWhen I say don’t cheap out I mean to say don’t go for someone only because they’re offering the service for less than what everyone else asks for. Talk to the lawyers and find out exactly what can be done for your situation. Sometimes it’s okay to go for a cheaper option and sometimes it’s not.And not to be rude, even a law student could have saved atul his life if he just approached one to find out what can be done, instead of having a thought process similar to yours and break down instead of seeking help. The law is very easy to understand for people who have spent years practicing and studying it. For others it’s not. Leave it to the guys that have dedicated their entire lives to this profession instead of passing a vague and cynical comment.
BThe law is really lenient when it comes to maintenance. It is essentially 1/3rd for the husband, 1/3rd for the wife and 1/3rd for the child. Don’t be swayed by social media of all things. What the court will want to do is to essentially provide a similar lifestyle that the spouse had during marriage. Being a lawyer myself the most I’ve seen a court award maintenance has been 10k a month and a one time settlement of 2.5 L.Honestly, as long as you don’t cheap out on lawyers and go to a good one, you’ll be fine. All the people I see crying about laws against men are just jumping on a hype train without knowledge of how the law works. Even in the case of Atul from Karnataka, he needed a good lawyer and he perhaps wouldn’t even need to pay maintenance in the end.
