Using office at father's business place.

Hello experts,

I am a young lawyer with one year of experience in advocacy. My father, a businessman, operates a small factory, and I have recently opened my law office on the same premises. I am seeking guidance on whether I need to register my office formally or if a rent agreement with my father is necessary, or if I can use the office without any formal documentation.

Additionally, I am curious about the rights regarding the privacy of my office. Can any department officer enter my office without my permission and inspect my clients' files?

I appreciate your expert advice on these matters.

Thank you.

Apartments quality, warranty and builders commitment

Respected Experts,

Happy New Year Wishes ⚘

My query is regarding the subject and I could explain in detail.

Presently I am staying in my own apartment in Kerala, took possession in 2022, we are 39 owners are here in this apartment of 40 flats, in which one owner purchased two adjacent flats and clubbed together - just fyi only.

In all of our registered documents/deeds, the apartment name has been mentioned with a word "premium", as (like ABCDE Tower Premium Apartments) and we are not sure that due to that word "premium", whether we are possessing some premium sort of advantages anywhere including in a legal dispute or complaint against the builder.

My queries are:
1. Whether like all the other products manufacturers guarantee or warrantee, what is the warranty that the builder is providing to us in Keraka or in India?
2. What items or sector /section these warranty is applicable?
(I mean : structural/walls/stairs, electrical wiring/panels, plumbing lines/connection fittings, bathroom/sanitary items and fittings, painting - interior/exterior, lifts, fire fighting eqpt, transformer, interlock tiles of ground, bore wells and tanks, ST Plant and its eqpts, genset, gym eqpts etc.)
3. What kind of a quality the builder should provide to us as a minimum? Whether any standard or reference lines are there specifying the same in general?
I mean, the structure, walls, interior painting, exterior painting, fittings provided, the equipments like lifts, genset, gym eqpts, stp plants, water pumps, electrical panels, fire fight systems .... etc.
Is there any common law is there specifying the minimum quality std required for such Apartments and the items provided in the bldg/premise by the builder?
4. And if we are not satisfied how we could measure such qualities? referring to.... ?
Whether such standards or warranty should be mentioned in registered deeds?
5. If nothing about such warranty is not mentioned in registered deed, is it like that the builder is not having any further commitments with the buyers to provide anything more?

Am surely not in an intention to have all the answers from you for the above, but asked all these wueries to make you understand those points in which most of us are having zero awareness and we do not know whether for any repair or complaint the builder has the commitment to fix it free of cost at least if it happens in a stipulated warranty period in general even though it is mentioned in our documents.

One of my friends just mentioned that any issues within the next five years of period - with effective from the date of the deed registered or date of possetion taken (whichever is the latest), all issues or repair works shall be corrected by the builder's own expense.
I am not sure about this but also wish to know your response on the same very briefly.
NB: He is a prominent builder, in that city fyi.

Thanking you
Yours faithfully

Bank fraud case & rectifed.

As a bank manager I involved in a bank fraud case not intentionally for using Rs 90 lacs by opening OD account in my sister name by investment in stock market without proper knowledge & thought to close in one month by selling my ancestors property. How ever i repaid the full amount to bank with interest in 10 days. But mean while they filed an FIR under 409 & 420 bank & terminated me from services. & also I received no dues letter from bank for OD account. Now after 18 months i got notice from court to attend for hearing. How serious will this be for my career if they sentenced me to jail ?? Or is there any chance by quashing the case by court as i repaid the full amount and as an punishment i lost the job also. Please suggest the next steps to resolve this matter. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you to all members
