guidance required on matrimonial dispute, threats,



Dear Sir/Madam,

I seek your guidance on a sensitive matrimonial/legal issue. I will briefly explain the facts in a structured manner.

I am a 40-year-old muslim already married having children, and living with my first wife and family. Some years i mean 5 years ago, I came into contact with a woman (widow, around my age) who is a law graduate and recently cleared AIBE.

Due to emotional pressure and repeated suicidal threats from her side, I got involved in a relationship and a form of marriage (Nikah) was performed privately without proper involvement of elders from both sides. This was not a publicly acknowledged or socially established marriage.

After some time, I realised I am not in a position to continue this relationship, as I cannot manage two families and I want to stabilise my existing family life. Since then, I have been trying to distance myself and resolve the matter peacefully.

However, from her side, the following issues have arisen:

1. She is repeatedly pressuring me to live with her as husband and wife, stay at her house, and have a physical relationship and children.
2. She has repeatedly threatened suicide if I do not comply with her demands.
3. On one occasion, she prevented me from leaving her house by locking the doors and hiding the keys.
4. She is threatening to disclose the matter to my first wife, family members, and others to create pressure.
5. She and her associates (including a senior advocate known to her) have contacted my sister and informed about this situation.
6. Her brother (currently abroad) has also contacted me and indicated that the family may intervene strongly.
7. There are threats of legal action, including filing cases under cruelty provisions and also possibly initiating RCR proceedings.

I have already informed her brother about her suicidal threats, as I was concerned for her safety.

Currently:

- No police complaint or FIR has been filed.
- No formal legal notice has yet been received from her side.

My advocate has suggested options such as:

- Filing RCR from my side (to secure jurisdiction and legal position),
- Sending a legal notice,
- Or waiting and watching while exploring settlement.

However, I am personally not willing to continue the relationship and I am concerned that filing RCR may contradict my actual intention.

My main concerns are:

1. Whether filing RCR is advisable in my situation when I do not wish to continue the relationship.
2. Whether sending a legal notice (without RCR) would be a safer defensive step.
3. Risk of potential criminal complaints (such as cruelty) from her side and how to protect myself.
4. Jurisdiction issues if she files a case in another city (e.g., Ahmadabad )
5. Best strategy to resolve the matter safely without escalation, considering my family situation and professional reputation.

I request your guidance on the safest and most appropriate legal strategy in this scenario.

Thanking you.

Regards,
Shaim qadar

Fixation of pay under fr 49(iii) - reg.

Respected Learned Experts. I am a central government retired employee. While I was in service, I had been assiged with the duties and role of an higher officer (my next promotional cadre) from 11.04.2014 to 25.01.2017. After my retirement, I had asked for the pay benefit under FR 49(iii) for discharging the duties of the higher post. My request has been turned down by the Competent Authority in the year 2023 stating the provision of FR 49(v). I had immediately filed OA before the CAT. During the argument, the Bench has raised query on the delay of 6 years in filing the OA, It has further raised an objection that the role/duties of the higher post is only assigned and you have not been appointed on current charges to that post. The Respondent department has not raised the query of delay in its reply version. Similarly, it is the fault of the Respondent who had directed to discharge the work of the higher post without any formal appointment order to the higher post. In the above circumstances, I request all the Learned Experts kindly to suggest how to anwer the query raised by the Bench. Whether duty assigned to discharge the higher post in the absence of formal appointment order to that post is an offence committed by me. It is the directions issued by the Head Office to all the Branch Head to assign the work of the higher post who are holding next below lower post. Please guide me with your expertise know;edge as I am appearing as Party In Person before the Tribunal. My sincere thanks to one and all in the Expert Forum for your continued tireless guidance extended to me in all these days. Once again thanks in anticipation.

मैं मगध विश्वविद्यालय, गया में बीएससी कर रहा था। मैंने 2021 में दाखिला लिया था, लेकिन यहाँ सत्र बहुत देरी से शुरू हुआ और प्रथम वर्ष की परीक्षा अगस्त 2023 में हुई। इसी बीच मैंने NEHU में BA LLB के लिए दाखिला लिया, लेकिन दुर्भाग्यवश स्वास्थ्य समस्याओं के कारण मैंने जून 2023 में दूसरे सेमेस्टर में इसे छोड़ दिया। मैंने तकनीकी छूट (TC) नहीं ली क्योंकि इसकी आवश्यकता नहीं थी। मगध विश्वविद्यालय में प्रथम वर्ष की परीक्षा से पहले मैं वापस घर आ गया और अपनी बीएससी की पढ़ाई जारी रखी। अब मेरी बीएससी की डिग्री 2024 में पूरी हुई और मैं अब दक्षिण बिहार के केंद्रीय विश्वविद्यालय से कानून की पढ़ाई कर रहा हूँ, जो 5 वर्षीय पाठ्यक्रम है। मैं जानना चाहता हूँ कि बीएससी और छोड़े गए पाठ्यक्रम में मामूली तकनीकी ओवरलैप से भविष्य में कोई समस्या हो सकती है या मैं पूरी तरह सुरक्षित हूँ?
मैं न्यायपालिका और अन्य कानून परीक्षाओं में शामिल होना चाहता हूँ, जिसके लिए BA LLB मेरी अनिवार्य योग्यता है और बीएससी की डिग्री मेरी अतिरिक्त योग्यता है। क्या मेरी अतिरिक्त योग्यता में मामूली तकनीकी ओवरलैप होने के कारण मुझे कोई परेशानी हो सकती है?
