Respected Sir, I would like to seek your valuable legal advice regarding a matter concerning my residential apartment in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. I am a resident of a private apartment where the maintenance is being handled by the builder. However, there has been a lack of transparency in the maintenance management, and the services provided to residents have been very poor for a considerable period. As a resident, I have been raising my voice regarding these issues. Recently, the builder dismantled an old building structure within the apartment premises without properly covering the area, which created significant dust pollution and inconvenience for residents. Regarding this issue, a news item was published in the newspaper, and a complaint was also filed with the Pollution Control Department. Today, I received a legal notice from the builder’s side alleging that I published or circulated false and defamatory information. The notice further threatens: Criminal proceedings under defamation law Civil proceedings claiming damages of ₹5 crores each I would like to clarify that in the published news report, the name of the builder was not mentioned anywhere; only the name of the private apartment was referred to. In these circumstances, I kindly request your guidance on the following: Whether the builder can legally maintain a defamation case against me in such circumstances Whether omission of the builder’s name in the news weakens their allegation What immediate legal steps I should take to protect myself Whether I should send a formal reply to the legal notice I shall be grateful for your valuable advice in this matter.

Our is industrial society registered in 2023 under MCS act,1960, the society with 72 members is registered by the builder and handed over to the provisional committee in the first constituted general body meeting on 31.01.2024.
Simultaneously all the legal document related to the society & premises handed over to the society office bearers.
but till date the builder is not handing over the society accounts - since 31.01.2024, in fact builder continue to collect the maintenance through its related company.
We (provisional committee) chasing the builder for more than 2 years - had several meetings with the builder & his team but they did not budge on handing over the accounts of the society.
My question is since we have all the documents related to the society & the premises except conveyance deed, what course of the action should we take for running the day-to-day work and accounts of the society.
which departments we can lodge complaint against the builder other than registrar of society, since the builder in question is very high profile and having very good hold on the government agencies locally, he holds our water supply too for which he is charging us separately other than maintenance charges.
i will be highly obliged if someone guide us on this situation and suggest if we need consultant to handle this situation

Hello. Is it legal for a person to give recommendation on stock buying and selling in lieu of a part of the profit? For example, if a stock adviser provides his stock buying recommendation on the condition that at the end of the month a fixed per percentage of the profit made from those recommendations will be shared with him: will this be legal under Indian laws?
Thanks in advance.

Society had collected Rs.79500/- fromeach member for Deemed Conveyance & Property Card. Total collection 79500 X 56 Members = Rs.44,52,000/-. Society has balance of Rs,2000000/- which they want to refund to the Members. One original member sold her flat and now new member occupies that flat. Who will get that refund - Old member who sold the flat or new member who purchased the flat.
Please clarify.

Respected Experts,
Very Happy New Year Wishes to you all, belated!
First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratefulness to all of you for the efforts you are taking for the public through this open forum by spending your most valuable time to provide with your expertised views, suggestions and advice with reference to the applicable legal points for each and every query we asked.
Pranam to You all!
My present query is regarding the VISITORS PARKING area assigned in an apartment used by some of the residents/members of the Apartment who are having their designated parking slots. We have securities at Gate to control this but they are not listening them and responding to the security persons that "if anyone in the association is having problem for me using this VISITORS PARKING AREA, let them come and talk directly to me but not through the securities".
Then our Association Vice President a senior most person initiated to resolve this issue and conveyed politely this matter. But later he came to the Presidents flat along with other two owners and insulted the President asking him why he is involving in this matter.
He is challenging the Committee it seems and informed the security/Vice President that "I will park my vehicle in the Visitors Parking whenever I wish, if anyone is having objection let them do anything they can and I will face it"
He is a prominent Doctor in the city and he taking all the Committees requests or instruction as a personal vengence against some of the individuals in the committee we can understand.
In the last GBM of association held in November 2025, we have decided that "Visitors Parking should not used by the Residents to park their vehicles" and the decision has been approved in the GBM without any objection among the participants and it has been minuted in the GBM minutes also - just for your information.
Whether we can take any legal action/complaint on his such approach? Is it appropriate ?
Please guide us on how can we handle this situation?
Yours faithfully,

What to do next
In feb26 , a firm by the name of MMPL contacted me and took my consent if I am interested to work in their firm/company or not and asked about my last salary drawn.After getting my consent,they proceeded further and took three rounds of interview after a gap of 15 days each.Finally in March they discussed with me salary expectations.After that HR associate asked me to submit my certificates,documents,official papers , payslip , cancelled cheque.Once I submitted them in 5th March26 , thereafter they are keeping mum.After repeated followups they are telling that decission is still pending. Three months have passed and still they are saying that decission is pending.They don't have the guts to tell the truth .Now what should I do
