ROne thing here though. Filing and FIR for theft might not be appropriate if OP decides to file a suit, since in the suit he will be claiming that the bike was purchased at the instance of the friend and for his use and ultimate ownership. For theft, OP will have to claim that the bike in fact is his, and was for his use and ownership. There will also be the trouble of explaining when and how the bike was taken from OP’s possession, since that’ll necessarily have to be pleaded to make out an offence of theft. Maybe criminal misappropriation? OP can claim that the bike was ultimately for the use and ownership of the friend but was given in trust only for use and not ownership till the payments were fully made, but it’s a bit of a stretch.RA lot of states are cracking down on cheating in competitive exams etc., including Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh. It’s become a big political issue and is reflected in a lot of bail judgements from the High Courts and Supreme Court these days. A lot of these bail applications are rejected, citing the need for fairness and the impact such unfair practices have on society. I’d say best not to risk it.RBad advice. The remoteness of damages would be more relevant in ordinary civil suits. The Consumer Protection Act provides a statutory remedy that isn’t strictly bound by principles of tort like any other civil claim concerning an uncodified civil wrong or tort. This wouldn’t be a hard claim to pursue at all. Maybe the flight tickets or hotel for 22-23 would be a little difficult, but the rest would be very easy to recover. And i think the amount OP is likely to receive will be significant enough to pursue. The only question is if OP is willing to invest time since even consumer courts take a while to actually grant relief.RYou can file a complaint through a power of attorney. However, the power of attorney holder will have to be someone who isn’t acting as your lawyer in court since that’s a conflict of interest and not permissible. If you have a friend or relative, you can execute a power of attorney in their favour. Once that’s done you won’t even need to execute affidavits, but it’s advisable to execute the initial affidavit in support of the complaint yourself, and for any subsequent requirement the power of attorney can sign or execute on your behalf.RFirstly, stop taking rent. If you continue accepting rent, it amounts to condoning his behavior. If he’s sending money directly to your bank, see if there’s a way to prevent money from his account coming to your account. If not, promptly return the money that comes in. Even if you were to take legal action, it would be very easy for him to claim there was an oral understanding that he would continue, and he would point to you collecting rent as proof.RYeah it’s crazy how similar the allegations are. It’s almost identical in some of these cases. Like if the lawyer is the same, you can wager the petition will be about 70% the same thingRSome do. It’s coming from arbitration. A lot of arbitrators charge reading fees. So now lawyers are starting to as well. It’s so stupid.RSome lawyers do charge reading fees, but it’s typically for very large files (like a 10,000 page chargesheet or something). But it’s a terrible practice to be honest.RIt’s not murder. There’s no intention. There’s no knowledge. There is no proximity between the fight and his eventual demise. If he was fine and went back home after the fight then it’ll be hard to prove you caused his death. Even if the actions were proximate, no reasonable person would ever think, that a normal fight would cause someone else to die. Get a lawyer, see if you can file a quashing petition
