Filing legal case even after giving affidavit to builder

I was to get a flat from the builder after a wait of 15 years
The builder got the OC, and when I was about to get the flat, he went into liquidation under IBC
Thereafter, the builder under the pressure of Interim resolution professional took an affidavit from me & all that I will not file any case for any type of dues. where as the builder was to give me my delay penalty as per agreement of BBA.

Now, since I have got the flat and registry done, can I now go to the court and file a case, saying that affidavit was taken under Coercion or threat of not giving possession till I give affidavit?

Maharashtra sindhi colony lease hold plot to be converted

Maharashtra govt has issued new GR on 15/5/25 for Sindhi displaced persons having lease hold plots in any where in Maharashtra, As per new GR all Sindhi camp plots are to be converted to freehold after paying some amount
My application is in process, Report has been sent by Dy superintendent Land records office to SDO office, and SDO office has sent report to Dy collector , now Dy collector will issue challan for conversion fee and then issue order for conversion to free hold
My question is that , since land records office and SDO both have sent favourable reports , then Can Dy collector/Collector can disapprove it? Or he will approve it, every thing is ok, no breach of contract of lease

separate electricity meters for rented flats in indore mpeb

I own a builder floor in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, which consists of six separate flats that are all leased out to tenants.

The entire building is currently serviced by a single main electricity connection from MPEB. For fair billing, I use individual sub-meters. However, the total consumption of all flats often pushes the main meter into the highest tariff slab, which significantly increases the per-unit cost for my tenants, as they do not get the benefit of lower initial slabs. Each family consumes between 160 to 250 unit maximum. Main meter goes 1000-1330 units.

I believe the most equitable solution is to install six separate domestic connections as it appears to lower the slab rates and fixed charged, one for each flat. I am seeking to understand my precise legal standing under the current regulations. We asked someone who said that only one "electricity connection will be provided which will be in name of property owner said no multiple Connections". NOTE: OUR WIRING FOR EACH FLAT IS SEPARATE

I have reviewed the **Compendium of M.P. Electricity Supply Code, 2021 (Version 2.5)**. My point of confusion is how the rules apply to a single owner of a multi-unit building with tenants, as the code often refers to terms like "Cooperative Group Housing Society."

My interpretation of the code suggests that:
Clause 4.18** may define each of my leased flats as a "separate premise".
Clause 4.84** seems to grant the right to demand a direct supply for a "leased" unit.

I would be grateful for your expert opinion on the following:
1. Under the current MPERC Supply Code, am I, as the sole owner of a multi-unit building with leased flats, eligible to apply for and obtain separate domestic meters for each flat?
2. Is my interpretation of the applicability of Clauses 4.18 and 4.84 correct in this context?
3. What would be the recommended formal procedure to follow to maximize the chances of a successful application with MPEB?

Please feel free to mention anything that I missed

Thank you

Flase claim of excess emi

I had availed a personal loan of ₹6,00,000 at 13% per annum for a tenure of 48 months from Axis Bank. I have been a disciplined borrower and have paid every EMI on time without fail.

However, now the bank is demanding a 49th EMI to close the loan account, which I believe is incorrect and misleading.
When I questioned this additional EMI, Instead of providing the required proof, the bank sent a generic amortization statement on a plain white sheet—without any official signature, or on letterhead, or authentication. This amortisation statement is easily available on various online EMI calculators and does not serve as proof of claim.

Therefore, I requested the following documents:
1. A copy of the original loan sanction letter or agreement.
2. Month-wise loan account/billing statements from 15th July 2021 to 23rd July 2025.
3. A formal written justification explaining the basis for this alleged 49th EMI.

But the bank failed to provide the documents by not responding despite repeated requests and reminders, with an intent to recover the unjustified 49th EMI.
I suspect this could be either: Professional negligence, or A deliberate attempt to extract an excess payment without transparency.

Now, I am in a dilemma:
- If I don’t pay by 12th August 2025, my CIBIL score may be affected.
- If I do pay, the bank may remain silent and refuse refund, continuing this non-transparent practice.

As a senior citizen, this situation is causing me considerable mental stress. Therefore, I humbly seek your expert opinion on:
- Whether I should proceed with payment to safeguard my credit score.
- Or file a civil suit or writ petition against Axis Bank for falsely claiming an excess EMI of ₹16,097 without proof.

Veterans please guide me.

Lawyer refused give noc

In the criminal(498a, since 2019) and maintenance cases(125 crpc since 2023) against me, my lawyer has been delaying for years without doing cross-examination. Now the court has given a final opportunity on 05/08/2025, but even on that day, he said that he has some other work and will not be able to come. When I object his act he is saying that he will give NOC only if I give 3 lakhs . Now how can I hire another lawyer without NOC? If no lawyer will represent me without NOC, then I want to pursue the case myself without any lawyer, please advise me on how to apply to the court in this regard.

Registration of sale deed

Sir
I would like to clarify some doubt regarding Registration of a sale deed.
My Friend has bought some Agri Land in 2001 through Sale deed executed by Subramanian who was one of the legal heirs of Deva . Thereafter my friend sold the same to me on 28th Mar.2025 . But the sale deed has been registered and not handed over to me due to Protest Petition filed by some legal heirs of Deva & SRO informed that it would be released after inquiry with the Protest petitioner .

But I contested that nobody can claim after 24 years of the land sold by his brother since it is time barred and also the land has been allotted based on oral partition to Subramanian by then Land Owner Deva . Further Deva left so much of other properties to his other legal heirs .
But SRO Refused my reply & returned the Sale Deed with Refusal check Slip . Hence I approached the High Court and Filed Writ of Certiorarified through my advocate and got the order in favour me on 8th July.2025 .
Due to order is pending to upload in the portal, I could not approach SRO.
In case I will get the order after 27th July 2025 then 4 months period will be over from the date of execution of sale deed .
1) Whether SRO can refuse to register the same since it is beyond 4 months from the date of execution or
2.) Four months period will not be applicable to this case ?

Actually the delay happened due to ignorance of the SRO. Even I have clearly explained with case laws as there is no power to refuse based on Protest Petition and it is not a duty of SRO to investigate about title, simply he refused but now Court ordered to register the same sale deed which has been already complied with all the registration formalities including Signed by both of Buyer , Seller & taken photo in front of SRO and allotted Pending document Number , SRO also Signed with Seal.
It would be great help to clarify the above

Attachment on property

There was a cheque case against me in the year 2000. Since I was abroad and could not appear or face the case, it became a long-pending case. At the same time, my sister filed a partition suit to divide a property that I jointly own. Will the party who filed the cheque case attach the portion that is to be divided to me through the court? If that happens, will it be auctioned and sold without hearing my arguments? Will there be any obstacle in distributing my share?

Online job fraud and legal threats over fake contract

I am a student who was offered freelance work by a company named Microworkers India (via their website: microworkers.in). I was asked to sign a digital agreement, share Aadhaar/PAN/signature, and complete 600 form submissions.

I submitted 301 forms but was then threatened via email from someone claiming to be “Advocate Rajesh Mishra” using a Gmail ID (lawfirm.legaldepartment.in@gmail.com). He cited IPC sections (420, 406, and Contract Act Section 73) and demanded ₹6,400, saying legal action would be taken if I didn't pay immediately.

I have:

Screenshots of all emails, chats, and the agreement

Proof that the deadline was unfair (they gave me only 5 days, not 6)

No official court notice or police complaint, only emails and WhatsApp messages

I now fear for my privacy and reputation. I want to confirm:

Whether this kind of agreement is legally binding

Can they really send notices to my house or take me to court?

What action can I take under cyber or criminal law?

I want to resolve this safely, keep my identity private, and take action if possible.

Thank You
