Request for legal advice

Respected Sir, I would like to seek your valuable legal advice regarding a matter concerning my residential apartment in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. I am a resident of a private apartment where the maintenance is being handled by the builder. However, there has been a lack of transparency in the maintenance management, and the services provided to residents have been very poor for a considerable period. As a resident, I have been raising my voice regarding these issues. Recently, the builder dismantled an old building structure within the apartment premises without properly covering the area, which created significant dust pollution and inconvenience for residents. Regarding this issue, a news item was published in the newspaper, and a complaint was also filed with the Pollution Control Department. Today, I received a legal notice from the builder’s side alleging that I published or circulated false and defamatory information. The notice further threatens: Criminal proceedings under defamation law Civil proceedings claiming damages of ₹5 crores each I would like to clarify that in the published news report, the name of the builder was not mentioned anywhere; only the name of the private apartment was referred to. In these circumstances, I kindly request your guidance on the following: Whether the builder can legally maintain a defamation case against me in such circumstances Whether omission of the builder’s name in the news weakens their allegation What immediate legal steps I should take to protect myself Whether I should send a formal reply to the legal notice I shall be grateful for your valuable advice in this matter.

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.
