Two lakhs dated 25.03.2018 , when post dated cheque was deposited on 25.03.2018, it was dishonored, so a complainant u/s 138 N I Act was lodged against borrower, borrower alongwith his family left his residence as well as business place. On 06.09.2022 borrower/accused got his bail. On third hearing date of his appearance, i.e. 01.10.2022 he deposited a demand draft of Rs. Two lakhs in court alongwith an application to discharge him as per decision of SC decision M/S Meters And Instruments ... vs Kanchan Mehta on 5 October, 2017. The said Draft was got given to complainant on 01.10.2022 itself, next hearing is 12.10.2022.
On next hearing 12.10.2022, a detailed written reply was filed by complainant stating that 1.the said decision of SC was overruled by Five Judges bench judgment decided on April 16, 2021, so not to discharge the accused 2.Statutory interest @ 18% p.a. u/s 80 N I Act from 25.03.2018 to 01.10.22 i.e. for about four and half years should be got given to complainant in addition to face value of cheque 3.

On 03.02.2003, accused deposited the draft of twenty thousand, but complainant refused to take this draft of additional amount. So next hearing was fixed 01.03.2023 for charge.
As complainant is not satisfied with this compensation/cost of Rs. twenty thousand, what is the remedy for complainant to challenge this order of compensation dated 19.01.2023? 1.To Session Court appeal u/s 372 2. To Session Court revision u/s 397 3. anywhere else under which section or 4. Not to challenge at all as accused was not discharged, but if not challenged now, later on it is said as far as compensation/cost is concerned, decision dated 19.01.2023 got finalty as it was not challenged.

Splitting of amalgamated flat during society redevelopment.

Me and Elder brother brought the Amalgamated residential property admeasuring 820 sq. ft. jointly (ownership 50% each) in 2004. The said residential flat was amalgamated by Society in past (Before Yr. 1990) by merging two adjacent flats admeasuring 410 Sq. ft. each without any change in Building structural plan. The Amalgamated large flat was issued a single Share certificate with 10 share's (5 share's from each 2 flats). Our Amalgamated flat is located on 3rd floor in A wing, whereas in same A wing there exist two separate 410 Sq. Ft flats on ground floor as per Society records. Further the Amalgamated flat has two separate entry doors and Staircases. Even the Electricity meter are separate.

In our registered purchase agreement dated 2014, the Amalgamated flat is shown as Single unit by Society.
Further Society consider it as Single flat and not ready to give us NOC despite multiple follow ups.

Recently our society has gone up for redevelopment and we approached the Builder to be appointed by Society, He informed the Society Secretary to provide Society NOC and Separate Share Certificate to divide the redevelopment benefit of 820 Sq. Ft. flat in two equal small flats.

Since society is not ready to support on flat bifurcation, kindly guide us the legal procedure or any suitable process which we can adopt during redevelopment wherein Society NOC would not be mandatory.

Strike off defense and its impacts on divorce case

Dear Experts,

My Wife filed Divorce in year 2018 on Mental Cruelty, so far no evidence provided in her case.
My defense in her divorce petition might get struck off, owing to the failure to pay some of her interim maintenance order.

What impact will it have on her divorce ? Will she automatically get her divorce ordered on her favor, even without any evidence provided ? Or will I lose ability to defend against her case, but still case will proceed based on merits of evidence etc.

Thanks & Regards,
Sathya

Validity of relinquishment deed

Dear Ld Experts,  

With due respect, I put below my query:

State: Tamil Nadu, Family: Hindu family.  A father died intestate leaving a land property inherited from his father. There are five legal heirs (wife, son and three daughters).  After the death of father, without making any partition deed a part of land was sold ten years ago and all the five legal heirs signed the sale deed which they are aware of it.  However, at the time of signing sale deed, a relinquishment deed was also made in favor of son and got it registered for the balance portion of land with zero consideration value. May be in the hurry of executing the relinquishment deed, the son(beneficiary) had not signed on the relinquishment deed. Before going to the Sub Registrar's office for signing the sale deed one daughter was informed about only the sale deed but not about this relinquishment deed.  With the trust and affection on siblings by ignoring/not reading the contents of the deeds she signed on the relinquishment deed also together with sale deed on the same day.  Copy of deeds were not issued to her after the registration is complete.  Only when raising the issue of partition recently she was denied of her rights and came to know about the relinquishment deed. Upon taking a certified copy of relinquishment deed from the records it was noticed that the executants had signed on a single relinquishment deed with photos and thumb impressions but the signature, photo or thumb impression of beneficiary is missing on the deed. Mutation of property based on relinquishment deed is not done as of date.

Since the other party, beneficiary co-owner has not signed can the relinquishment deed be challenged for declaration of it as void and not binding on the executants? One Ld expert replied on another thread but I think I have not posted my query on the relevant category and it was bit lengthy. Sorry for the repetition.

I look forward to your valuable advice.  Thanks for your precious time.

Complaint on building painting quality in aparments

Dear Peers,
Good Evening

We are facing an issue on the painting quality of the building in our newly built apartments. The painting quality noted as not up to the minimum standard with ref. to the visual appearance, we feel.
Whether we could file a complaint in consumer forum or court ? Whether we will able to get support from the legal authorities against the contractor malpractices if anything done?
How we could make this since we are 40 flat owners in total but presently less than 50% of them are taken the possession and started stay in the same.
Please advise us whether we could make such complaint as mentioned above if so what are the procedures, in general? And what are the obstacles we may face here on this regard.

Anticipating your response please.

Highcourts refusal to reduce ia

This query is in continuation of my previous query https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/experts/divorce-case-ia-maintainence-related-query-745886.asp.

My gross salary is 1.5L and net salary is 1.15L and expenses is 1.05L for me and my mother and saving of some 10k per month. My wife stays in my flat and I stay in a rented house along with my mother. Even before the family courts order I used to voluntarily pay 6k maintaince to my wife through money order apart from paying apartment maintenance and other utility bills of my flat where my wife stays. Still paying the same.

The family court judge had earlier awarded her 25k maintenance plus 30k one time litigation fees to be paid by me. Family court judge had not considered the money order receipts I had submitted in court as proof of my voluntary payment. Judge had not consider that she is staying in my flat.

We had approached the high court for its review. But in today's first date( wifes lawyers was not present ) the high court judge also straight forward said that he is not going to touch the family courts order and he is not going to reduce the ia maintenance even though wife is staying in my flat. high court judge also did not consider the money order receipts I submitted in court as proof of my voluntary payment. high court judge also did not consider that she is staying in my flat so he should reduce the amount.

Very saddened by the women biased approached of judges.
What can I do here?
