Turtles as pets

I am an animal enthusiast and have been offered Red Eared Slider turtles by a pet shop to adopt as pet. However, I am quite unsure if I am allowed to have those turtles as pets, although Indian Wildlife Protection Act 1972 is doesn't mention the species under the restricted list. Please guide me in this regard...

Applicability of consumer law

My industrial building owner has cheated and duped me by wrongly and with full knowledge stated the building has 60 hp power connection whereas later on we found thqt there is only 30 hp power connection, thereby has caused a financial loss of about Rs.80 lakhs in about 18 months ? My self having paid rents uptodate to the land lord even under such circumstnces would like to know whether we qn sue the land lord under consumer case ?
Please let me have your expert opinion. Letting out a building for a remunertion . fee does come under consumer act, is what I feel. Please advise

Personal loan issue

Hi,

I have a query for a personal loan issue with HDFC bank. My brother had taken a loan from HDFC when he was working with IBM in Bangalore last year. At that time he was staying with me but few months back he left the job and left bangalore. He does not stay with me anymore nor he is in any contact with me. Now, the bank people are harrassing me to pay the pay the loan EMI as he has defaulted. They are threatning my old parents when I am not at home that they will take my car and will cause ruckus infront of my house. I am no way involved in the loan. I have no signature neither my name is mentioned in the loan. Can they harrass me for my brothers loan or take action against me? What should I do? Can I file FIR against the recovery people?

Regards,
Rohit

Correction of caste in the school records

I had filed suit for correction of caste in my son's school records. The decree was in my favour after producing the records and It says the concerned authority to initiate action to change the caste in school records. But the concerned authority is DDPI (Department of public instruction). DDPI had kept my files for more than 3 years without doing anything and finally washed off their hands by saying that the caste comes under 2A category and transfered the file to Department of backward caste. Now they have started asking me to bring many records to prove that we belong to 2A group.
My question is
1. "Are this Department of Backward class is above the law ?.
2. What DDPI has done, Is it correct ?
3. Is this the procedure after court decree.
4. Is there understanding between DDPI and Department of Backward class for their personnel gains.
Please help me by your suggestion.
Regards
Prakash

Section 145 of electricity act

Hi everyone!

Sir, I need to ask a question. Can any person file a SUIT FOR PERMANENT INJUNCTION against the Electricity Department (i.e SDO, UHBVN)?

The person who has filed the suit is taking this measure to escape from the assessment and a possible lodging of FIR against him under Section 126, 136 and 138 of the Electricity Act by the Electricity Department (UHBVN, Distt. Sonepat, Haryana). This person was served two notices by the department to explain his position regarding "ILLEGAL SHIFTING OF ELECTRICITY METER ON A DEFAULTER PREMISES" without the consent of the Elec. Dept.. The Dept. has also specifically mentioned that a possible FIR could be lodged against him as his consumer case file was clearly showing that he was given the connection on a differrent premises.

This whole action was taken by the electricity department on a COMPLAINT made by me. This person has filed a SUIT FOR PERMANENT INJUNCTION against me and is trying to get STAY on a property of ours as soon as possible on the basis of the Electricty Meter which he has shifted/transferred from its original premises to ours. This property (house, which is already defaulter due to non-payment of elec. bills) of ours was vacate since many months and he took advantage of this and shifted his meter there. Moreover, he also started living there. We all came to know about this when we received the summons from the court.

Since then we were trying to get help from Elec. Dept. to look into the matter. They were just a day away from lodging the FIR against him BUT this person filed the SUIT for P.I. against them a day earlier in the CIVIL COURT.

The real thing that I want to know is whether the CIVIL COURTS have the jurisdiction to entertain such suit. The SECTION 145 of the Elec. ACT says they have no jurisdiction. BUT the CIVIL COURTS here are accepting such cases freely and no one (even lawyers here) cares about it. I think the SECTION 126, 136 and 138 of EA 2003 (ammended, 2007) clearly fits on him as:

1. he is indulged in unauthorised use of electricity by the usage of the electricity for the premises or areas other than those for which the supply of electricity was authorized. (SECTION 126)

2. he has dishonestly transferred a meter from a place of installation where it was rightfully installed without the consent of the licensee. (SECTION 136- theft of electric lines & materials)

3. he has unauthorisedly connected the meter on our premises with an electric line through which electricity is supplied by the licensee. (SECTION 138 - interference with meters)



So, respected members what should I do know? I fear he might get stay against the Electricity Department and then my own Case will get weakened. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST??

Will

I have a WILL hand written by my father and the same was given to me by my mother which duly attested by the two witness in 2002. Now my sister want to challenge the will stating that it is not a legal will, as she has the notarised copy of the will no witness sign.

my query are as follow:
1) Can this will can be challenged after ten year, as she was aware of the will in 2002
2) can a notarised copy can be taken as a proof, though i have original hand written will duly witnessed with me.
