SI’m not actually a lawyer, but I’ve helped lawyer friends deal with cases like this too many times.
Without any documents signed, it’s not looking too good, but like I said, your best bet is to get a lawyer, and like you said, tell your ‘friend’ that you’ve got a lawyer to proceed with the matter legally, and not to fall into any sentimental traps. Hopefully, this will be enough. But if it isn’t, proceed with your lawyer and *hopefully* your bank transfer receipts will be enough.
Because you haven’t signed any documents, I*hope* you and your ‘friend’ did all the dealing through text and not verbally or through unrecorded calls, because without any proof that you did lend him for that purpose, it’s gonna be bleak.
Get a lawyer and do not ask for 9L initially. Ask for all and while you’re willing to settle for 9L, go down very slowly and after much haggle. You know what I mean.
S**DON’T LEND FRIENDS & FAMILY MONEY**Lending money to friends and family is a loss-loss. They will try to weasel out of paying, and you’ll lose both them and your money. When dealing with money, familial sentiments should be a non-factor.
If you’re gonna lend him that much, you should’ve done your due diligence and followed the relevant paperwork.
Now, you’re not even willing to sue for money which is yours to begin with because your friend who won’t return it is feeling the big sad.
Get a fucking lawyer and sue. He isn’t your friend; if he was, he would’ve prioritised what he owed to you. And take this lesson here to heart.
A fool and his money is quickly departed, indeed.
Money lent beyond ₹10,000, which I believe is the amount big enough, should always be with all the necessary paperwork, witnesses and lawyers, and with the notification that failure to repay in timely manner will be responded with lawsuit.
SThat is a different legal matter entirely. She does have a legitimate claim to her ancestral home, but that should be discussed in due time.SI don’t hear a legal question. And your brother doesn’t seem to cross any legal/criminal boundaries. It’s not crime to be an asshole.You’re a legal adult. Move out.
