Twenty years ago, I heard a check case was filed against me. My brother had me sign a Vakalat (power of attorney for a lawyer) on the date of the case and appointed a lawyer. Since I later went abroad, a warrant was issued, and the case eventually became an LP (Long Pending) case. I only found out later that the complainant filed the case using an incorrect address. Can this case be cancelled for that reason? Will a Quash Petition still be valid since a lawyer appeared for me once? Is there any way to find out now if the lawyer actually appeared back then? The brother who handled all of this is no longer alive.

I purchased a gold necklace and bangles worth ₹7 lakh in 2018 , a few days before my marriage, and the bills are in my name. My wife wore them at the wedding. After two years, she called me to my bank to allow her to operate joint locker and threatened that if I did not come, she would call the police. When I went there, she took all the gold that I had purchased before marriage, along with the engagement ring that she had gifted to me. I made a video of the entire incident in which she clearly stated twice that she would return all my items once I returned a specific ring to her. I demanded my gold back the same day, but she refused. Can I legally recover all the gold, or will it be treated as her stridhan?

Can a check bounce case be quashed in which a summons was sent to another address without serving it at the defendant's correct address and a warrant was issued? If so, which court should be approached?

Dear Legal Experts,
I seek guidance on the following procedural matter:
Case Background:
• Offences: Section 420 IPC (Cheating) and Section 406 IPC (Criminal Breach of Trust)
• Stage: FIR Done, Evidence gathered by Police, Chargesheet filed and CC (Criminal Case) number has been generated in the court
• Issue: First appearance date given after approximately 7 Months from CC number generation
Scenario:
• Wife sourced Bank Statement unofficially, Later modified it and submitted along with Petition of DV Case (Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005) with an interim Maintenance Ordered (But yet to be Paid) in a different Family court
My Queries:
1. Can Section 309 CrPC or 257 be invoked at this stage to request expedited hearing or to address the delay in first appearance of 7 Months from Now ?
2. Is Section 257 CrPC (Compound offences) applicable after CC number generation? Can compounding still be pursued at this stage for these offences?
3. What remedies are available to address the 7-month delay before the first appearance date? Does this delay violate the principle of speedy trial?
4. Procedural clarification needed: Once a CC number is assigned, what is the typical timeline and procedure? At what stage do Section 309 and Section 257 typically come into play?
5. I m suspecting that since Police already sent the Notice of Appearance (at the Bank Branch) to the Accused i.e. Bank Employee, there are fair chances that Bank employee will change the job to another Bank and since there is no Home address available, where the Summons will get issued on or after 7 Months ?
Kindly suggest,
Regards,
Sathya

I am facing a case under Section 306 IPC, arising purely family dispute.
All persons involved are blood-related members of the same family — Mother, Fathe, Brother, and Sister.
Committed Sucide - Father
Accused - Mother and Brother
Complainant - Sister
History:
1. FIR 2021
2. Chargesheet 2022
3. No witness Examine till now.
Current position:
Mutual settlement has already been reached between the Family.
The complainant (my sister) is fully ready to close the case and cooperate in quashing of the FIR/charge-sheet.
The trial in the lower court is moving very slowly and inefficiently, with no effective progress.
Query:
👉 Considering these facts, is filing a quashing petition before the High Court under Section 482 CrPC best legal option to finally close this case?
Or what is the Best Option?

Service rules
seek legal opinion regarding the possibility of salary recovery or termination in a government/PSU Legal Officer appointment. My factual timeline is as follows: - I was enrolled in a B.Sc. course at Magadh University from 2021 to 2024. Due to academic delay, examinations were conducted between August 2023 and July 2024. - During this period, I took admission in a BA LL.B. (5-year) program at North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) in December 2022. - I appeared only in the first semester examination and discontinued the course in June 2023 due to health reasons. I did not attend further classes, appear in subsequent examinations, or pay any fees thereafter, although I did not formally cancel my admission. - I subsequently completed my B.Sc. in July 2024. - Thereafter, I took fresh admission in BA LL.B. (5-year) at Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) in 2024, which is my primary and valid law degree. In this background, if I am appointed as a Legal Officer (e.g., through CLAT-PG) on the basis of my valid BA LL.B. degree from CUSB: 1. Whether the past technical overlap between my B.Sc. and the discontinued NEHU course can legally justify termination of service. 2. Whether such overlap, despite no dual degree and no benefit derived from the discontinued course, can be a valid ground for recovery of salary after appointment. 3. Whether absence of formal cancellation of the NEHU admission has any legal consequence in service law, particularly in the absence of fraud or misrepresentation. 4. Whether such a situation is treated in law as a mere technical/administrative irregularity or as a substantive illegality affecting appointment.
