Tenant agreement

Dear Sir/Madam

I use to stay at Bangalore in a rental property and the same of covered under proper agreement for 12 months (till July 2014)

As per the agreement, I had paid 100000/- as an advance amount with rental of 13000/- per month and 10% increment on yearly basis, there shall be one month notice either side for vacating the flat. I had given one month notice to my Flat owner and vacated the flat. I had cleared all the dues to the Flat owner. Now the flat owner is making an obligation that the notice period is 3 months and he/she had signed the agreement without noticing that. For that he is deducting one month rent for wear and tear expenses which was not at all mentioned in the agreement. He is not even attending to my communications.

Please advise me to how to get my money back.

I have only photostat copy of agreement and but I have all maintenance bills on my name from the society for last 12 months.

Please suggest me for the way forward to come out my situation.

Regards,
Naveen

Dv act case sequence please

Hi Experts, I have private complaint 200 crpc and sequence completed are:
1. Summons to accused
2. Po investigation and report (DIR)
3. Evidence by petitioner given
and next is pending for "Cross examination" of petitioner by me.

I would like to know exact sequence of proceeding. Below is a sequence for another case and send by my friend for reference.

please send me for Dv act.

Another scenario:
General sequence for your reference

1] F.I.R.

2] Police Investigation (if at all takes place) & arrest without any necessity of warrant. In some States, D.C.P.’s permission is required for arrest.

3] Bail. Police asks for ‘Police Custody’ (called ‘PC’) for interrogation and recovery of articles (S.406 IPC). Accused submits custodial interrogation is not necessary etc. Then magistrate pass order for ‘Judicial Custody’ (called ‘JC’). Then accused apply for ‘bail’, say from ‘police prosecutor’ (called ‘pp’) and Investigation Officer (called I/O) is asked by court who always strongly objects religiously and then on argument from accused counsel it is granted (or not granted, then go to session to High Court to Supreme Court, at some place it is given). Important fact is that ‘bail’ is always granted from ‘JC’ AND NOT FROM ‘PC’. The process in legal fraternity is called breaking ‘PC’ to ‘JC’.

4] Then no need to attend court. On filing charge sheet, police sends summons or make telephone call to attend court to receive charge sheet, till such time – no need to attend court. However a tab shall always be maintained on chargesheet as many times police/court dont send information to accused at the time of filing chargesheet, but it does not harm accused except that precious time is killed.

5] At the time of receiving chargesheet which is given free of cost to ‘each’ accused by ‘pp’ in court, sometime court asks accused whether they are guilty, normally accused say – not guilty. Check the charge sheet – it is also called ‘Final Report’ – there should be a table showing list of witnesses and documents – many times it is not given, tell court for any discrepancy in it.

6] Then dates, accused must attend them or take exemption u/s205 of Cr.P.C. (permanent till trial starts).

7] Firstly, charges are framed u/s240 Cr.P.C. (if discharge application not made u/s239 Cr.P.C.) when accused can oppose.

8] Then First witness – wife – PW1 – PP asks question to her based on her complaint to take FIR on court record. Then accused’s counsel cross examine her.

9] Then her father (Pw-2), Mother (PW-3), Sister (PW-4) etc. whomsoever I/O has taken as witnesses and taken statements (which are given with chargesheet to accused).

10] Then I/O’s examination-in-chief by PP and cross by accused’s advocate (counsel).

11] With this, prosecution evidence closed. If accused has any witness, they can be called as defence witnesses (normally not called as they may by mistake say something against accused in cross examination). First accused’s advocate will take examination-in-chief and then PP will take cross-examine (prosecutin and defence role changes).

12] Accused are examined by magistrate u/s313 Cr.P.C.

13] Then PP gives argument, then accused’s advocate gives argument.

14] Enjoy – Now order – Acquittal/Sentencing.

Agm of society

AGM of co operative housing society, in Kandivali, Mumbai is on 24th of this month. 14days notice is given in time. Now a letter from about 10 members is given today i.e on 19th stating that increase in maintenance by Rs.100/- per month from the members towards Cultural Activities to be discussed in AGM.

This point ( increase in maintenance) is not on the Agenda of the AGM. Whether we can increase the maintenance by Rs.100/- per month if it is decided in AGM by the majority of the members?
