Sir/ Mam,
There was some construction going on on the back side of my house. I asked MDDA to investigate the matter whether the construction is legal or not. The MDDA officials investigated the matter and found out that the construction that was going on was illegal. Due to this the commanded a stay order of the construction and also levied a penalty of Rs. 10000 on them. On being fined my neighbors told me that they will sue me for false cases under SC/ST act, and they also did the same. What can I do to come out of this problem. I didnt even spoke a word to them but still they gave a false complaint to the police officials.

I would like to know whether a person charged with 420,416 etc can move to HC to quash proceedings against him with the defense that his age is 75.
Please support your answer with a Judgment, if possible SC Judgment.

Sir/ Mam,
I would like to know that how many Bank Accounts are legal for an individual. Say if a person has 10-15 Bank accounts in various banks but his income is not taxable is he doing something illegal?

Respectable Sir/ madam,
This query regarding Section 17. of the consumer protection Act. read with Section 2 of the same Act.
Sec. 17 defines the jurisdiction of the State Commission and Section 11 of the same act defines the jurisdiction of the District Commission as follows:
(2) A complaint shall be instituted in a District Forum within the local limits of whose jurisdiction, -
(a) The opposite party or each of the opposite parties, where there are more than one, at the time of the institution of the complaint, actually and voluntarily resides or 2[carries on business or has a branch office, or] personally works for gain; or
(b) Any of the opposite parties where there are more then one, at the time of the institution of the complaint, actually and voluntarily resides, or 2[carries on business or has a branch office], or personally works for gain, provided that in such case either the permission of the District Forum is given, or the opposite parties who do not reside, or 2[carry on business or have a branch office], or personally works for gain, as the case may be, acquiesce in such institution; or
(c) The cause of action, wholly or in part arises.
Section 2 sub part (aa) of the same act gives the definition of branch office as follows:
2[(aa) "Branch office" means -
(i) Any establishment described as a branch by the opposite party; or
(ii) Any establishment carrying on either the same or substantially the same activity as that carried on by the head office of the establishment;
I would like to ask that if a truck is insured by the lucknow branch of the Insurance Company and the truck meets with an accident in Himachal Pradesh but the truck was hypothecated in Dehradun and also the the amount for the insurance was paid at Dehradun, doesn't a part of the cause of action arise in Dehradun. I would also like to know that when Sec. 2(aa) has clearly defined the meaning of "Branch Office" then Sec 17. read with Sec. 2 would imply that the State Commission of Uttarakhand at Dehradun has the Territorial Jurisdiction to give its views in this case.
Waiting for your opinion.
Yours Sincerely,
