Money recovery

I have lent Rs 1 lakh, Rs 1.5 Lakh & Rs 1.9 Lakh to my friend in cash on good faith.

I asked him to return my money, but he refused. I have no documented evidence.

Can I lodge complain of 420 IPC, 406 IPC & 357 CRPC (1)(d) to recover my entire money ?

My relatives told me that I cannot claim more than Rs 2 Lakh as the money is paid by cash. Is it true ?

Exparte evidence

Dear experts,
A suit for injunction filed notices served on the defendants and engaged an advocate but did not filed WS many a time given opportunities and not even on costs at last on the hearing date waited the court up to 5pm and last posted for plaintiff evidence.
On the date of plaintiff's evidence, when plaintiff is about give evidence the defendant counsel reported that and requested the court that kindly pass over when the plaintiff's counsel strictly objected stating that it is nothing but dragging the matter and with out hearing the court is posted the case to other date.
Till date they did not filed set aside petition but court is going on giving the dates.
It is crystal clear that the defendant wants to drag the matter
Under the circumstances can we approach the honourable high court? As the court is giving dates because a petition filed for interim injunction but ordered to issue the notice to the otherside when the case already set exparte aganist the defendants?kindly let me know the advice on this ?
Thanking you experts in advance.

The West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1997
13. Rent in excess of fair rent not chargeable. - (1) (a) No tenant shall, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, be liable to pay to the landlord for the occupation of any premises any amount in excess of fair rent of the premises, unless such amount is lawful increase of the fair rent in accordance with the provision of this Act.
(b) Subject to the provisions of clause (a), any agreement for payment of rent in excess of fair rent shall be construed as an agreement for the payment of fair rent only.
kindly explain this two clauses. in clause a it is written that no tenant shall be liable to pay rent excess of fair rent, but in clause b it is reversed by payment of rent in excess of fair rent shall be construed as an agreement for the payment of fair rent only.

Housing society rude and non responsive behavior

Dear experts, I stay rented in a housing complex in Chennai. The association of the complex is very rude and not responsive. Even the servants of the society shows the same attitude towards tenants. The association is not sharing the contact details of the members and we are unable to inform them about any grievances over phone. They are not opening the doors when we go in-person to tell about any grievances. There is no response to the registered post that we sent. They are also not sharing the bye laws of the association. I called the registrar of housing societies (housing) at "REGISTRAR OF CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES (HOUSING), at Purasiwakkam, Chennai. to know the procedure to get the bye-laws of the society, but they say they don't maintain any such records and asked me to contact the association directly. The name of the association will be like 'XXX Apartment owners association'. I'm unable to figure out if its registered as Co-Operative Housing Society(CHS) or Apartment Owners Association (AAO). Can you please help me know how to deal with this kind of association?. Where can i make a complaint about the association?. Where can i get the bye-laws of the association when the association is not responding to my queries? Any help is whole heartedly appreciated as its kind of too head ache dealing with this kind of peoples.

Maintenance to wrongful wife

My wife has filed 498A case, where I acquitted. Ex-party divorce has been granted against my wife.

She claims maintenance in 125 crpc. Lower court allowed maintenance.

When for her fault family is broken, why should I pay maintenance ? Is there any judgement where maintenance is denied due to wrong committed by wife ?

Recovery of loan

My father had given a personal loan of 30 Lacs to a close family friend's friend (for his business) in 2017. This person had borrowed the money from my father at 2% from my father but after our discussion, we reduced it to 1.5% interest. The person who borrowed the loan was paying my father interest for 3 to 4 month months and then started defaulting. In 2018 my father had a stroke and after that, I was able to connect with this borrower and have been in touch with him about the loan.
The borrower asked us for a time extension and he was supposed to clear the loan by 2018. Then again he asked for an extension so we extended it to the end of 2019.  By Feb 2020 we managed to collect 7 lacs from him. Then for the past 2 years due to covid as the reason, he has been asking for more time extension and he has not made any payments till now. 
The 30 Lacs original amount with simple interest of 1.5% till June 2022 comes to Rs.56,54,000/- (minus 7 lacs that we were able to collect back)-- Total Balance remaining is around 50Lacs.
As collateral, we have his home apartment papers and an original passbook of his wife's land from a village. The loan was borrowed by both husband/wife team together.

Any thoughts on what can be done to get the money back with the interest amount? What are my options? And if I involve an attorney - what would be the attorney's fees for the recovery of the loan? This is in Hyderabad (Telangana)
