Fiance family is breaking engagement without any genuine reason after 2 years. Got engaged in oct 2021 with all our religious rituals and mutually marriage was decided for this year oct all shopping was going on but now they are breaking engagement without giving any genuine reason. Please suggest can I take any action on them and claim compensation from them?
Asked from: Uttar Pradesh
If the engagement was broken off due to dowry demands. In India, it is illegal to demand or give dowry, and if an engagement is broken off because of dowry demands, the party who made the demands could be prosecuted under the Dowry Prohibition Act. The aggrieved party can file a first information report (FIR) against them under Section 3 & 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act if they cancelled the marriage due to demand of dowry.
Your fiancé's family has cancelled the marriage, therefore, offence under the dowry prohibition act does not made out. In this situation you cannot initiate criminal proceeding against them. But you have the right to initiate civil proceeding for the make good the loss you incurred in engagement ceremony, also for the mental agony, defamation and compensation.
If one party to the engagement has made any promises or representations to the other party that have induced them to incur expenses or suffer loss, then the party who broke the engagement may be liable to compensate the other party for their losses. Hence, you should file a civil suit for the compensation.

Question: False promise of cash back. A property channel partner promised me to give 1% of the sale value of a new flat as cash back 30 to 45 days from the date of agreement. It's been 4 months since sale agreement was executed. I am chasing the channel partner to issue the cash back and there is no response from them. I have an email from the sales team about this 1% cash back. Can I take legal action against them
If the property channel partner had the dishonest intension right from the beginning then he has committed the offence of cheating. You can file a first information report against him under section 420, 467 & 468 of Indian Penal Code 1860.
He had executed an agreement to reinforce his promise but later violated that agreement. It further strengthens the case against him. In such a situation, you may consider initiating a civil proceeding against them to seek compensation and recover any losses incurred as a result of his breach of agreement.
The limitation period for an Original Application (OA) filed by a bank against a defaulting borrower is 3 years from the date of default. This means that the bank must file the OA within 3 years of the date on which the borrower first defaults on their loan payments.
The limitation period is set out in Article 113 of the Limitation Act, 1963. This article applies to suits for "money lent or advanced on a contract expressed or implied, where the money is recoverable by action."
There are a few exceptions to the 3-year limitation period. For example, if the borrower acknowledges the debt in writing, the limitation period will start from the date of the acknowledgement.
If the bank fails to file the OA within the 3-year limitation period, the borrower may be able to argue that the bank's claim is time-barred. This means that the court may dismiss the bank's case.
The govt. settled the erstwhile east-pakistan refugees as farmers and allotted them with agriculture land and homestead land free of cost. But this allotment was made only to the refugees who were married/ had a family. Bachelor refugees accompanying their elder married brothers, were not considered for allotment of land during that time. Later on these bachelor, irrespective of their marital status, were allotted agricultural land, but with lesser quantum of area. My question is, Is this allotment of land to the married refugee a self acquired property or ancestral property.
Asked from: Punjab
If the land becomes free hold, then it is a self-acquired property of the person to whom it was allotted by the government. The land allotted to refugees is generally considered their self-acquired property. When refugees are provided with land, it is typically done through government schemes or initiatives aimed at rehabilitation and resettlement.
Once the land is allotted to them, it is intended to be their own property, and they have the right to use and manage it as per applicable laws and regulations.
However, it's important to note that specific laws and policies related to land allocation to refugees may vary depending on the state or region in India.
It is advisable to consult with local authorities or legal professionals who can provide accurate and updated information regarding the rights and status of refugees in Andaman & Nicobar.

Greetings sir/mam, Recently my parents expired and then me and my sister decided to come with my uncle but now he is creating problems for us by listening to or cdr and finding our location every single time we are not comfortable in this and no one will be please help how i can stop this.
Asked from: Manipur
Start by having an open and honest conversation with your uncle. Express your concerns and let him know how his actions are making you and your sister uncomfortable. Try to understand his perspective and see if there is a way to address the issues amicably.
Reach out to other relatives who may be able to mediate or help resolve the situation. They might be able to speak to your uncle and encourage him to respect your privacy and provide a more supportive environment for you and your sister.
If the issues persist and you feel unsafe or threatened, it may be necessary to take legal recourse. If your uncle has any criminal intention then he has committed an offence of stalking. You may file a complaint/FIR against him.
Remember, it's crucial to document any incidents or evidence of harassment or threats for future reference. Your safety and well-being are of utmost importance, so don't hesitate to reach out to professionals and authorities who can assist you in resolving this situation.

Hi, I reside in Ahmedabad. My society is a cooperative housing service society. I want to know if the builder provided extra space to house owners for specific use, not for construction. Builder constructed a building over the area reserved for the use of the house owners. If house owners construct these areas, do these spaces belong to the society for common utilities such as drainage, common plumbing, gas line conduct area, and parking? The builder has already constructed such areas, and I wish to file a complaint against them. They are not allowing the construction of a gas pipeline supply due to their previous construction. What steps should I take to proceed?
Asked from: Gujarat
That construction is illegal because it was not sanctioned by the appropriate authority. The approved plan specifically mentioned areas for the common use of flat owners. There is a fixed ratio between the construction area and open area.
When the builder did construction on the open area which was left for the common use for the flat owner, he breaches the ratio or proportion of open and built up area. This is indeed an illegal act, you should file a complaint before the appropriate authority who has sanctioned the site plan.
This construction is being done in violation of the approved site plan therefore, it is illegal per se. That construction should be demolished.

According to section 10A of the Divorce Act 1869, divorce by mutual consent is not permitted within two years of separation. A petition for dissolution of marriage may be presented to the District Court by both the parties to a marriage together, on the ground that:
- they have been living separately for a period of two years or more,
- they have not been able to live together and
- they have mutually agreed that the marriage should be dissolved
A period of separation for two years is mandatory for the mutual consent divorce. Hence, you cannot file a mutual divorce case within one year of marriage. If there is exceptional hardship to retain the marital status or due to incompatibility of spouses, it is impossible for them to live together then you can get mutual divorce.
In this situation, you have to move a petition to the Supreme Court under Article 142 of the Constitution to grant a divorce on the exceptional ground i.e. the marriage is irretrievable.
In Shilpa Shailesh vs Varun Srinivasan 2023 the Supreme Court has held that if the marriage is irretrievably break down no possibility of reconciliation the Court has power under Article 142 to dissolve the marriage to do complete justice.
It is not possible to dissolve the marriage through a notorised agreement because a decree of competent court is mandatory for the dissolution of marriage. That agreement or out of the court divorce has no legal sanctity. It shall not dissolve your marital status.
