Help needed

I wish to present my case in court without the assistance of an advocate, i.e., as a party in person. My tenant has sent me a legal notice without any legal merit, seemingly with the intention of extorting money before vacating the rented property. Interestingly, all his sons, who were living nearby, have sold their properties, and as tenant is 95 years old he can not live alone in that house . Could you please guide me on whether there are any courses or resources available online to help me prepare effectively for presenting my case in court?

Deposit of will when donation to charity is conditional

Hi,

The law seems to mandate the deposit of a Will, made in favour of charity, within 6 months of execution by the testator, for the Will to be treated as valid.

However, the Will is being considered in this manner, where the assets are to be initially bequeathed to a family member, and in the further event of no Will existing of that family member, the assets are then to be donated to a charity or government.

In such a case, when should the Will be deposited, say with the Registrar, for the said Will to be treated as valid, in accordance with the above-said law regarding bequest to charity?

Sorry for being anonymous, but it's important.

498a fir quashing possible

My wife filed a false FIR against me and my father under Sections 498A, 506, and 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act to extort a huge sum of money from me. She has already extorted jewelry from my side. The FIR was registered against me and my father five months ago, and the chargesheet was submitted two months ago, but cognizance has not been taken yet. I have verified this with two advocates. Time is passing, and nothing is moving forward. What should I do? Should I file for FIR quashing on behalf of my father, or should I wait for the chargesheet cognizance, which seems uncertain?

My degree is valid or not

I started my regular graduation in 2018 and completed it in 2021. During my final year, I secured a government job in the UP Police and completed my last year of graduation while working. Now, in 2025, I have secured another job through SSC, which requires a graduation degree. I have a doubt— is my graduation valid for this job?

Dismissal of appeal suit for the second time

Respected Learned Lawyers,
An appeal Suit was filed before the Additional Sub-Court against the ex-parte judgment/decree awarded by the lower court in a civil suit seeking permanent injunction. The suit was filed by the power agent whose power of attorney got cancelled but who went ahead and registered the Sale Deed. The appellant knows pretty well that he can’t win the suit and dragged it for more than 6 years without presenting his side of arguments through his counsel and the suit got dismissed for default of appellant on 27-06-2022. The appellant again submitted a petition with the prayer to revive the appeal suit and after the court granted his prayer, the appeal suit was further dragged without presenting the appellant side arguments. Finally the suit got dismissed on 03.02.2025 for the second time for the very same reason.
Now my questions are :
i) what are the options available to the appellant ? Can he submit another petition to reopen and restore the suit ?
ii) Can he file second appeal ?
iii) Where he is allowed to file the second appeal ? In the District Court or High Court ?
iv) How can further appeal can be stopped ?
v) Can I file a damage suit for wasting my time, energy, money and giving mental torture for the most vexatious suit which was not cared by the appellant and he simply wasted the court time ?

N.B. : I am the primary respondent
