Not complying the high court order

Hello sir/madam, My query is regarding matrimonial dispute. I have obtained the interim order on maintenance case which is reduced from 10000 rupees to 5000 rupees in the year 2022. I have obtained a interim order in domestic violence act, stay is provided for 3 & 4 but 1&2 will be considered after the appearance of the respondents in the year 2022. Now I have filed a divorce petition the case is in cross evidence stage, the respondent is seeking the maintenance ordered by the high court. Where she is working and earning a handsome salary. The judge informed that the petitioner has not complied the high court order, so dismissing the case. I don't know what to do now. Because this is the case where I can prove the perjury, cruelty and harassment happened to me. If my divorce case gets dismissed i cannot prove all the necessary things of the respondent. Please guide me what steps can be taken to lead my case. Petitioner in divorce case is husband Respondent is wife

Whenever I am asking for money back, he is showing some of his problem and give next commitment like today tomorrow , next week, month , 2/3 months later etc etc but 95% at the time on commitment date some extremely little payment like 5K , 4K and rest again same, in short any bare statement and no or doubtful or partial fulfillment due to some problems this happen that happen. I am not in state of trust further on the him.

Now I want to get the money back as the amount is big, so i cant left as it is. I am at Karnataka and he is at UP.

Kindly suggest what best remedy I can avail to get money back at the earliest as 17 months has been passed and no further confirmed visibility and I am needing the money due to some critical need.

Kindly suggest further on the above.

Best Regards to all of you!!

Banking services deficiency

I was a ELITE customer of Citi Bank Credit Card for last 21 years - with financial discipline of discharging card liabilities 100% on time every time; and in last year the retail banking of citi bank was migrated to Axis bank, and have been serviced by Axis bank, upon transition, the axis bank replaced the citi card with axis branded card.
During the transhipment, the bank disabled the online transaction and the bank claiming that it is for security reasons. All this were okay. but

The replacement card was delivered to me after one month, and the bankers reply was the card was despatched with incomplete address (the bank already having my KYC documents); and during the period of transhipment of one month my online transaction rights were disabled

On raising the issue,
1. the bank initially sending system enabled reply with no action.
2.Upon raising the voice with repated mail the bank supplied SINCERE APPOLOGIES
3. I raised the issue saying that apologies cannot be the solution for the real action; on social media tagging the Axis Bank
4. Due to this received annonymous call, claiming that they are from axis bank, and asking me to refrain from posting the axis bank service in social media - This amounts to customer intimidation and brought the same to the notice to the bank in polite language to initiate action but bank never responded to this mail.
- Summarising all this, I raised a complaint in Consumer forum for redressal of grievance with a Prayer clause:
1) demanding Re.1 (Indian Rupee one only) as compensation for accountability by demand draft to be shipped to my address as per KYC documents avaiilable with the bank;
2) Issue a sorry letter (not mail) without giving false justification
3) Give assurance that such deficiency will not happen in future.

5. In reply the axis bank sent a mail, to Consumer forum and also to me saying that
"you were contacted regarding this matter and have confirmed your satisfaction with the resolution and service provided" - This is fabrication of statement and misrepresentation of facts.

But I have not given any confirmation of satisfaction orally or by writing in mail, but raising the issue in social media and demanding Re.1 compensation, emphasising the CUSTOMER deserve RESPECT.

Now, I request the veteran to guide me to file a case for the
1) Deficiency of Service
2) Customer intimidation - violation of rights in raising voice against axis bank service
3) For fabrication of statement - amounts to breach of trust and
4) mis representation of facts before the consumer forum a statutory legal body.

Should I file a Civil Case in the High Court or to file a writ for the violation of constitutional rights - customer intimidation.

This is not for the amount of demand of Re.1/- but Customer Deserve Respect; moreover the axis bank redressal mechanism is very poor as per the social media (star rating)

Please guide and advise. (I have got all proof of documents mails, caller phonenumber and screenshot, date of despatch and date of delivery from courier tracking screenshot, the bank mail, agreeing that it is a late delivery and disabled the online transaction rights, complaint lodged with consumer forum and their reply with fabrciated statement)

Regularisation of excess land & patta rectification

Facts

The property is ancestral agricultural land situate in Tamil Nadu, Survey No. 154/6, which was subdivided in the family partition of 1994 into:

S.No. 154/6A – allotted to me (presently in my possession)

S.No. 154/6B – allotted to my father’s brother

Extent on record v. extent in possession

Source Extent shown Remarks
Partition deed & present patta 1.20 acres Patta continues in my name for this extent
Field Measurement Book (FMB) 1.40 acres Sub-division sketch also reflects 1.40 acres
Actual physical enjoyment since 1994 1.50 acres Excess of 30 cents over patta; 10 cents over FMB

My uncle now claims that I must surrender 20 cents to him, alleging a shortfall in his sub-plot 154/6B. A joint resurvey, however, revealed that:

He previously held 20 cents excess in adjacent Survey No. 154/7 (which he sold about 15 years ago).

He nonetheless insists that, because 6A & 6B originated from the common parent survey 154/6, the “excess” in 6A must be shared with him.

I wish to (a) secure clear title to the land I have possessed openly and peacefully for over 30 years, and (b) gift the entirety of my holding—including the excess—to my wife.

Issues Requiring Expert Guidance

Title & Possession

Whether my continuous, uninterrupted possession of the additional 20–30 cents since 1994 confers a legal right (by prescription/adverse possession or otherwise) against my uncle’s belated claim.

Appropriate civil action, if any, to obtain a declaration of title and permanent injunction.

Revenue-Record Rectification

The correct procedure under the Tamil Nadu Revenue Standing Orders (esp. S.O. 31 & 15) for:

i. Demarcation and sub-division survey by the Taluk Surveyor;

ii. Mutation / patta correction to reflect the FMB extent of 1.40 acres (or the full 1.50 acres, if permissible).

Documentary and evidentiary requirements (partition deed, adangal, kist receipts, etc.) and likely timeline.

Proposed Gift Deed

Whether the excess land can be validly included in a gift deed to my wife when the current patta shows only 1.20 acres.

Consequences at the registration office and potential future objections if rectification is not completed beforehand.

Preventive Measures

Interim reliefs (status-quo orders) available to forestall any disturbance by my uncle while rectification proceedings / civil suit are pending.
Request

Kindly advise on:

The most effective legal remedy—administrative or judicial—to regularise the excess land in my favour.

Step-by-step procedure, with relevant statutory provisions / case-law, for patta/FMB correction and inclusion of the excess in the gift deed.

Any precautions to be taken during the rectification and transfer process.

Professional opinions or citations to recent High Court/Madras HC decisions on similar patta-vs-FMB discrepancies would be greatly appreciated. I am open to an online consultation; interested advocates may kindly message me separately.

Thank you in advance for your guidance.
