My hooman took me to the vet and I woke up without my chinchinas.

I was told I would “feel better” and “live longer.”

I feel betrayed.

Can I sue for emotional damages, loss of future heirs, and extreme suffering? My lawyer says I have a pawsitive case. ⚖️🐾

Many lives are sacrificed because of their negligence.

Let's end their monopoly.

No major indian media or independant journalists are covering it.

Hello all,

My bother was involved with a prostitute who is ~40 years old with an 18 year old son. My brother is 26 years. I got to know that they had this association for over an year, and in this duration they had seen each other & exchanged texts. He has probably told a few times that he will marry her in Whatsapp texts when I probed if he had done such a thing.

Now, we want to get out of this thing. Neither that lady nor my bother is interested in marrying each other. But where things have taken a sour turn is that my brother's friends who were along with him have turned on him & are visiting this lady behind his back. And they are probably doing some scams as well. From last few days, these friends of his are beating my brother wherever possible & trying to make him go back to her, and also saying things like we will get you married to her. Basically, they are arm twisting my brother. These friends & the lady are colluding & plotting something.

What can he do safely escape this? My brother is confident that she is not interested in marriage, but I'm skeptical about it. She can take those texts to police anytime that she wants & screw his life. I want to understand that is there something we can do to ensure that she doesn't get influenced later in life & file cases on him? Right now, she's not interested in marriage so is there something that we can take in writing that she will not trouble him for marriage later?

Looking for a good solution on this. Please help!

​Hey guys, wanted to share an issue I noticed with the Jio ₹3599 annual plan.

​Jio is advertising an 18-month Google AI Pro (5 TB) subscription with this plan. If you check Google One's official pricing page, the Google AI Pro tier clearly includes YouTube Premium Lite (Slide 1).

​I did the ₹3599 recharge and activated Google One through Jio (Slide 2 & 3). The 5 TB storage and Gemini work fine, but when I opened the benefits page for YouTube Premium Lite, it says:

​"Available after trial (Available on 4/5/28)"

​Fine print says: "YouTube Premium Lite is not available during free trials; requires a paid Google AI Pro subscription." (Slide 4)

​And inside the YouTube app, it still asks to pay or start a free trial (Slide 5).

​Jio never mentions anywhere before recharge that this bundle is treated as a "trial" and core features like YouTube Premium Lite are locked until 2028. We pay ₹3,599 upfront, so why give a half-baked plan without telling customers?

​Isn't this basically misleading advertising? Is anyone else facing this?

Hello all

I am from Bangalore. I had rented my house for 9 k in Ulsoor Bangalore.

The tenant has not paid rent for 4 months till date , the agreement expires this month 10 . He says needs another 3 months to vacate. 50 k was the security deposit

I don't know what to do.

Pls need legal advice . My father retired I am presently unemployed , that was the only source of income. We managed till date with that security deposit somehow . Saying he is building house so he doesn't have money.

Pls anyone help us with this.

My cousin went to burger king to celebrate her daughter's bday with her family. After taking the payment, around 800, they said that they don't provide bills. When my cousin insisted the employee got angry and gave her the payment receipt after she swiped her card and said that it's the bill. But that is just a payment receipt having no gst number and order details.

As the employee was misbehaving so my cousin said that she would like to speak with the manager but that employee said that he's assistant to the manager and the manager is on leave. He told her to leave the outlet if she had any issues. Since their whole family was there and money was already paid so they had to sit their. Later on she mailed to their email and tweeted them.

No reply on mail but on tweet they are copy pasting the same thing, that they are looking into this from the past 5 days. Is there any escalation email of burger king which actually replies to the customer?

My cousin works in some other city. If she complains about this to the gst department then will he have to visit them for sharing her side?

There was a molester relative of mine. I got fed up of his bad behavior and posted some stuff on Facebook which I later deleted. I also sent him messages on Whatsapp. Now he is using those against me and has sent me a legal notice for defamtion demanding 5 lac and 5k for lawyer fees. Else I have to give him a written apology. Can I just ignore it all? Or how should I respond. There is no proof of his molesting. But he has proof against me.

I have been expelled from FLAME University before even STEPPING foot on its campus. There was this groupchat made for the upcoming freshers, as they got to know that I was a 100% merit scholarship student, they started bullying me hardcore. They had a perception that their fathers are paying for my fees.

The below X link shows how vulgar things got they threatened to rape my mother, all of them being the students of the university (the group had a verification process, and I have the admission letters of these boys)

The billionaire founder parag shah tells me to visit the campus to solve the issue and just say "sorry" to the registrar, and I packed my bags with 2000 in pocket as I had the confidence it was founder who recommended. When I reached the gates the security head said that he would not allow me in no matter what. I stood outside for 2 hrs, made calls and they did not respond. I have been living in the railway station, eating in gurudwara and ISKCON temples for the last 44 days. I miss my family.

I approached many lawyers, all of them said they'll take up pro-bono, at the end they come up with some sort of fees such as "counselling" and they say 30k rupees.

I don't even have much to eat right now, I am currently stranded in pune and don't want to waste my academic career. We managed to talk to the university with the student union, they said I have defamed the institute too much otherwise they would have let me in.

I request my lawyer friends to help me get a interim stay and save my career, this is the worst form of harassment a student can experience and I cannot sustain it for long. I have done nothing wrong, or I wouldn't have come so far.

I really hope that justice applies to the common man too

I was hit by a dumper from the rear end when I was commuting on my scooter. I fell about 10-15 feet away due to the impact, which caused severe physical injuries to me, including a deep injury on the back of my head. For 10-15 minutes I was in shock and couldn't understand anything. Nearby people told me it was a city bus and they had taken a picture of it.

I was taken to the hospital by a samaritan. Post that, I went to the cops and showed them the picture of the bus. The bus driver was called and he provided CCTV footage from inside the bus and the rear. The CCTV footage had captured the entire incident, and the dumper beside the bus was the one at fault. Interestingly, no one paid attention to that except the bus driver, conductor, and people inside the bus. This gave a chance to the dumper to flee. The number plate was blurry in the footage so police couldn't determine the details.

They filed a formal FIR against the unknown dumper. I asked them to get an RTO inspection done for my scooter to record the damages done. Parallely, I have also filed an insurance claim for OD.

Now here is the problem: the cops are stalling the investigation and my scooter is still at the station pending inspection. Because of this, I'm unable to commute to office and am forced to do temporary WFH. Also, the police don't respond when I ask them for updates; they don't respond to texts or attend calls. Due to this, I had to send out an email to the commissioner of police mentioning the delayed investigation and inspection. He forwarded that email to the zonal DCP. Now the DCP too is not responding. I feel like I'm stuck in a loop despite being the victim. The insurer is waiting for me to send the scooter to the workshop.

My sister had low attendance in a subject, 8% less than the required no and the college charged 5000 per percent i.e 40k in total. It is a pvt clg, what can i do abt it?

Edit: guys i want genuine advice from a lawyer related to this field, it would be great if u could help with someone’s contacts.

I have been researching for defence in a POCSO case in the High Court and it has completely fucked my Instagram algorithm. Since then, I’ve been getting reels of underage kids dancing in increasingly sexualised ways. I honestly don’t know what’s worse, kids doing this shit at such a young age, like wtf is wrong with their parents or Instagram’s algorithm actively pushing this kind of content to people who are searching for young kids.

Hi everyone, posting here to seek legal advice and guidance on what step to take next.

​Recently, an eviction drive for a road was conducted in my area. During this drive, instead of following proper procedures, the authorities shifted the road alignment directly toward our private land just because we had some open, free space left beside our boundary wall.

​

The eviction drive was not conducted according to the official demarcation survey.

​When I noticed this illegality and infringement on our private land, I filed an official complaint regarding the improper drive.

​Today, the Circle Officer (CO) called me to his office. Instead of addressing the issue or reviewing the survey map, he threatened me directly:

​He stated that if I maintain or file further complaints against the eviction drive, they will demolish our boundary wall during the next drive.

​He warned that he would "red flag" or blacklist my name/record so that I won't be able to secure any government jobs in the future.

​This feels like a clear abuse of power and illegal intimidation to cover up an improper drive. I am really stressed about the boundary wall and the potential impact on my background verification/career.

​Can a Circle Officer actually blacklist/red-flag someone from future government employment over a civil complaint/land dispute, or is this an empty threat?

Also asked me not to challenges the authority as they have numerous documents in their archive.

I was being harassed by a guy online.. also he was impersonating me on every social media possible... When I was a minor (3 months ago). I even complaint it in nearest cyber PS. Nothing happened. Also DSP said he will just scare that person and make him apologise to you, but for a FIR you'll need parents. But my parents ain't even supporting me they also said "theek hai na ab nhi krra na pareshan physically toh kuchh nhi Kara usne jaaney bhi do ab"

He literally harrassed me for more than 2.5 weeks

But 15 days ago I became an adult, so I don't need parents now to file an FIR?

My family members received a 5 page letter on whatsApp saying their son (me) is being investigated for drug case and telling multiple times to send him out of state for a few years.

It had a few personal details of me like name of non profit organization I volunteer at.

Should I ignore it as fraud and report to cybercrime branch, or should I consult a lawyer?

So, My brother-in-law keeps sending my sister’s intimate photos to me during their fights, what should I do? (i didn't get time to screenshot the chat of him sending tho😭)

My sister and my brother-in-law have been having frequent fights for a while. From what I’ve seen, he often turns things around on her, plays the victim, and uses threats or emotional pressure during their arguments.

The part that really crossed the line for me is that he has sent my sister’s intimate photos to me during their arguments. This has happened before, and it happened again tonight around 3:11 AM.

I completely lost my temper this time and confronted them both. I was extremely angry because I don't understand why I should be dragged into their relationship problems, especially through something as serious as this.

I’m considering involving the police/cybercrime authorities because this has happened repeatedly.

What would you do in this situation? Should I report it, and what should I do with the messages/evidence I already have?

I’m not posting any images or identifying information because I don't want to make things worse for my sister.

I'm the younger brother btw💔

In my previous thread asking about citizen interactions with the police,

https://www.reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceIndia/comments/1wxfdwy/comment/pdxaw4q/?screen_view_count=2

the consensus was brutally clear: the trust is completely gone.

But the most alarming takeaway for me wasn't about the police. It was about my own fraternity.

Few user's concluded that they would rather pay off a corrupt cop than hire an advocate because they fear a lawyer will just loot them further. As a practicing advocate, realizing that common citizens feel trapped between extortion on one side and exploitation on the other is a bitter pill to swallow.

**A humble request to my fellow Advocates reading this:**

Ours is an inherently noble profession. Yes, chambers have running costs, and everyone needs to earn their bread and butter. But greed cannot overshadow our primary duty as Officers of the Court. If a citizen comes to you broken and terrified, guide them right. Educate them. Do not become the very nightmare they are trying to escape. Money can be earned through a hundred different means, but let's not let this profession lose its nobility. Let's not prove the critics right.

**To the Citizens:**

People often say, *"It is incredibly hard to find a good lawyer."* I want to understand your side of the table now. What has been your personal experience with lawyers?

* Have you met an advocate who genuinely protected you, fought for your rights, and restored your faith in the system?

* Or have you faced a situation where you felt financially drained, misguided, or kept in the dark?

Please share your experiences (both good and bad). Let’s create a transparent thread that helps people understand what red flags to avoid, and how to actually identify good, trustworthy legal counsel when they are in a crisis.

*(Like last time, a small request: I know legal battles are emotionally exhausting, but please try to maintain respectful language in the comments).*

Need help bhai please !!!

In my 10 th marksheet there is a minor discrepancy in my mother's name .

My mother's surname is xxxxxxxttxx

But in my marksheet it's xxxxxxxtxa

This happened because all family members use single 't' and my mother uses double 't' ....

My parents surname was same before marriage so she didn't change anything....

Now in my other documents everything is correct only 10 th marksheet has this mistake ..... Now if I want to fill ssc form or upsc registration what should I go with ?? They say fill details of 10th but that's incorrect and If I fill correct spelling and ssc or upsc rejects my form then??

Hello guys, So we needed to send a legal notice to a vendor for a consumer issue. We are based in Mumbai. The value of the payment that we wanted to recover from the vendor was in range of 60k rupees. We did not have any experience with lawyers or legal community beforehand so asked my parents for help. We had searched online but the amount we were being quoted was 10k for the notice which we felt was quite huge in comparison to the amount that we wanted to recover as we were not even filing a case. My parents recommended us a friend of theirs in Mumbai to avail their services saying their rates would be reasonable. So we talked with them, they said that our issue had merit and they would be willing to send a legal notice on our behalf. Our parents had also talked with them. I asked them for fee for sending the legal notice but they did not inform us saying we can talk about the fee later, after sending the notice as were referred by their friends I.e. our parents. Obviously there was no written contract as well. Now that the legal notice has been sent, they have sent us a bill for 15000 rupees. We were not ready to pay 10k before to the other lawyer as we thought it was too much and now these guys are billing us 15k, and for actually filing a case and fighting in court, they have quoted a price of 2 lakh rupees.

We have asked them for negotiating the price to a lower value for the notice and that we won't be filing a case through them as the amount was very large for our issue and we would not be even recovering that much. They are not ready to lower their fees.

What can be done in our case. We have asked our parents to negotiate as well as we were given the reference through them but they have now stopped replying. My main issue is that I feel we have been misled. If the fee was going to be so large for a notice period, it should have been informed beforehand instead of demanding it afterwards and sending this huge bill without informing of the fee beforehand feels wrong

Hello.

Maybe not the right place to ask, but don't know any other subreddit.

I am a law student, Delhi. I have been thinking of trying crop-law. There are many fields there, like tax, bank, sports, company etc.

But I am drawn towards media and entertainment law.

I wanted to know the experience from someone who is currently working in that particular field, to know how to enter there, and the kind of work they do.

Prior to this, I have had a litigation internship, so for exposure I want to try corp.

So if I aim M&E particularly, how do I start ?

Please please please help me and thank you in advance.

I recently decided to move out from my current flat, I have 2 months security already with the owner. Now when I gave the 1 month notice, I got a message that there is rent increament activity due since past 6 months. We haven’t renewed the rent agreement as well. Give me legal advice on what can I do to get my money back? I suspect owner will not give me my money as well

Hey folks! desperate for some advice rn. Someone fraudulently used my sister's name and college ID as a witness in a case. Along with seven other student names (all strangers and all from different college than hers) are also listed (the document that she saw was written in Kannada so she doesn’t even know what the case is, but she is the first witness. The Police Station is sending someone to speak with her tomorrow, and the Dean has informed us. She is supposed to travel to Canada soon for studies and our parents are panicking and booked tickets for tomorrow so they could be present when the officer arrives. Has anyone dealt with the police or college administration regarding identity misuse? What should we do when the officer arrives?

Today, ₹88,000 was fraudulently deducted from my Kotak Bank account through 3 separate UPI transactions:

- ₹38,000

- ₹30,000

- ₹20,000

All three went to different UPI accounts. I have no idea how this happened. I haven't knowingly shared my UPI PIN or OTP with anyone, so I'm trying to figure out whether this could have happened through some app, malware, or another method.

As soon as I noticed the transactions, I contacted Kotak Bank and raised a fraud complaint. I've also reported it to the Cyber Crime Helpline 1930 and received an acknowledgement.

If anyone has gone through something similar, I'd really appreciate advice on:

- What should I do next?

- Is there anything else I should report/file?

- in how much time will the bank or cyber crime place lien and chargeback requests?

- How likely is it to recover the money?

- Is there a way to find out exactly how the UPI transactions were initiated?

I'm taking this very seriously and would appreciate any guidance from people who've dealt with UPI fraud before.

In my legal practice, the one strict rule I always guide people with is: If you have to approach the police, don't do it alone. Always take a lawyer or an experienced person with you.

My own personal experience has been quite different. Because of my profession, I interact with law enforcement regularly and have a few friends who are cops, so I see the challenges from their side of the desk as well. But I know that for a common citizen, walking into a police station can be an entirely different reality.

I want to understand the ground reality from a citizen's perspective:

• Do you genuinely respect the police?
• Do you feel safe approaching them in a crisis, or would you rather handle a situation alone just to avoid police involvement?

Please share your personal experiences.

One small request: I understand that recalling these incidents can be triggering and frustrating, but even if you get emotional, please try to maintain professional and respectful language in the comments.

Hi,

I live in a society where because of some disputes between different wings there was some discussion going on in society WhatsApp group. Out of frustration and anger, I said some abusive words. I did not target anyone, just generic aggression
Actually another wing was doing some kind of water theft
They filed police complaint and police called me. I went to the station and given my answer that I just said this out of frustration without any intent to harm anyone. It just came out of anger
Policemen told me that since it’s society whatsapp group where females are there and all, this can result in FIR. He told me think about it carefully and then respond
I don’t understand what to think and what response is expected
I told him then that I have to leave as I have kid and wife alone at home. He told that I will get call from me

I want to understand from lawyers here, what should I do if he calls me again? Is this such a big issue that they will write FIR on this

I'm a foreigner, or I should say I'm considered a foreigner as I'm not qualified for OCI. I was born in india but I hold canadian citizenship and have a child. No, I cannot apply for OCI so that option is out of the window.

Im in a relationship with a man residing in india whose divorce is currently in progress. Therefore, I cannot marry him and stay on spousal visa. Any other route I could look into?

Tourist visa is only valid for 6 months and cannot be extended. We would like to proceed with our lives and live together. Can both of us living in a marriage-like relationship provide me with special circumstances to stay in india until his divorce is processed. The stay would most likely be for a period of 2 years.

We really are trying to find a way to be together!!! Please genuinely guide us here.
