Dear Sir, I am a resident and flat owner at Rishi Apartment, located in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. I wish to bring to your attention serious concerns regarding the maintenance and functioning of our housing society, which is currently under the control of the builder. The builder has failed to provide basic facilities such as proper security, regular cleaning, and general upkeep of common areas. Due to these persistent issues, the flat owners collectively formed a Flat Owners Association (currently unregistered) to address grievances and represent our interests. On behalf of all residents, the association has been regularly communicating with the builder via email, requesting improvement in services. However, instead of addressing these genuine concerns, the builder recently issued a notice increasing the maintenance charges, despite the quality of services being extremely poor. As per the maintenance agreement, charges may be increased only once every two years, and by a maximum of 10%. However, the builder has imposed an increase that exceeds this limit, without consultation and without any corresponding improvement in services.In response to this arbitrary action, the flat owners have collectively decided to Withhold payment of the maintenance charges Until improvement of services .Despite multiple reminders, the builder has not responded to our communications. Furthermore, the builder is not registered under HPRERA .We now seek your kind guidance on the following: 1. Is it legally justified for flat owners to withhold payment of maintenance charges under these circumstances? 2. What legal recourse or action can we take against the builder for poor maintenance and arbitrary increase in charges? 3. Where can we file a formal complaint, given the builder is not registered under HPRERA? We look forward to your support and direction in resolving this issue lawfully and fairly. Reply Follow
During submission of Evidence affidavit, do I need to submit copies of documents for marking as Exhibits along with affidavit. I got this doubt, since I have already submitted copies of documents along with petition seeking permission for additional documents and got permitted). So now to mark the same as Exhibits, do I need to submit copies again along with evidence affidavit?
If yes, then should I submit only originals or can I submit as copies and take my original also for comparing with original and submit as copies. Do I need to get notarized if copies are submitted?
Respected Experts,
Greetings to all.
I humbly seek your legal guidance and support. I lost my Central Government job due to a case filed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. However, the matter is purely personal and private in nature, and has no connection whatsoever to the integrity, conduct, or functioning of the Government of India office where I was employed.
My matter is now pending before the Hon’ble Telangana State High Court and is listed on 04-06-2025.
I earnestly request any kind advocate or legal expert to kindly share landmark Supreme Court judgments that uphold the principle that cases under Section 138 NI Act pertain to private financial disputes and do not amount to misconduct affecting government service or integrity.
Your valuable inputs may help me restore my position and dignity. I shall remain ever grateful to those who guide or support me in this regard.
Warm regards,

Regarding trial procedure in matrimonial case
Dear Experts,
Written statement is filed with allegations from Respondent. No documents has been attached substantiating the allegations.
Similarly income affidavit is filed without any documents (salary, bank statements, ITR etc) and us also incomplete.
Even after posting the same during enquiry, there is no response.
To extent possible I have submitted documents from my side.
I am not sure on why is this negligence from opposite side.
She has claimed maintenance and trial (by way of evidence is to commence).
By question is can the documents be submitted now (written statement related at this point by opponent) just like that. Do they need not get permission first? I wanted to know the procedure in family court.
Similarly in this stage also if documents on income affidavit is not submitted, then what should be my next step. Can experts guide me?
