Civil Matters

My children are studying in classes three, four, and five. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I failed to deposit the fee and was unable to send them to school. That is why the school authorities sent me several messages on my mobile phone. However, I refused to reply. Now, they are sending a legal notice to me for the deposit of the school fee, which is pending. The matter is that I did not send my children to study in the school during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this situation, can I be compelled to pay the fee when my children were not studying in the school?

I was sitting in my living room when the doorbell rang. As I got up to answer it, I saw the postman handing me a large envelope. It was from a leading newspaper in the city. My heart raced as I opened the envelope and read the notice inside. It was an invitation to submit a short story for their upcoming literary festival. My excitement was palpable as I read and re-read the invitation, trying to grasp the reality of what had just happened. I had always been passionate about writing, but I never had the courage to submit my work to anyone. This notice felt like a sign from the universe, urging me to pursue my dreams. I spent the next few days working tirelessly on my story, pouring my heart and soul into every word. I edited and re-edited it until it was perfect, then submitted it to the newspaper. A few weeks later, I received another letter. It was from the newspaper, informing me that my story had been selected as one of the finalists for the festival. I was over the moon with joy and couldn’t believe that my writing had finally been recognized. The day of the festival arrived, and as I stepped up to the podium to read my story, I felt like I was on top of the world. Receiving that notice from the newspaper had changed my life forever, and I knew that I had found my true calling.

Resolving legal issues in resident societies: a guide for members of gujarat society facing unlawful bylaws and jurisdictional challenges. We are members of a resident society situated in Gujarat. There was a fight between the two sections of members over the issue of utilisation of funds. When the society was formed the builder wanted to take control over the function of the society for an indefinite period. Hence he made favourable bye laws. If there is any dispute regarding the function of society the case shall be filed before the society registrar. Any appeal against the order of the society registrar shall be made only before the Supreme Court. Because of this rule we are not able to contest the case to the supreme court. Please advise how to tackle the issue and keep peace and tranquillity in our society?

My father is planning to gift me some unlisted private company shares. We will register a gift deed and pay a stamp duty of 0.25% per Rs.100 of net worth. After that, we will submit the gift deed, share certificate, and share transfer form to the company. I have a few questions regarding this process: Can you please confirm the stamp duty to be paid on this transaction in Maharashtra? How much time does it generally take for the transfer of shares by gift to get recorded in the Registrar of Companies (ROC)? Can I sell those shares immediately, before the transfer of shares by gift is recorded in the ROC?
