Questions Answered by Advocate Chitra Bhanu Gupta
Q: Can I ask for alimony after 20 years of divorces from my husband ?
I was divorced in 1988 and never asked for any alimony. I was working and was confident that I could manage. Now, due to various reasons I have no income and I have been unwell for quite some time. I am in a really difficult situation. My ex-husband now lives in the UK and is a British citizen. Though I have asked him for financial help, he has not been very responsive. Now I wish to know if it is possible to claim any kind of maintenance from him. He is a businessperson and is doing fairly well.
Advocate Chitra Bhanu Gupta answered
Technically there is no bar in filing for the alimony. But chances of winning the same is very very remote. Because it would be very difficult to explain the reason for such a massive delay in filing this application. And secondly if you have sustained all through these days, then the judge may not accept your application for the petition under the ground that its beyond limitation
Q: Can the municipality legally sanction the building plan or object ?
There are two adjacent two-storied houses, having a common wall from top to bottom, owned by two different persons. One of the house owners has drawn up an agreement with a builder to demolish his house and build a multi-storied apartment building in its place. Though he had informed the adjacent house owner about his plan in writing, the latter has objected to it and has also filed an objection in the local municipality. Can the municipality legally sanction the building plan, overruling the objection ? What can be done to stop the demolition of the old house and the new construction ?

No, they can not without giving a chance of being heard to the other building. And must look into the objection. In case they do the same then you can get an injunction from the civil court and put a stop in the demolition
Q: Aunt denying proper road to enter and exit of our property
My father died 3 years ago. He was in depression. He took voluntary retirement from Navy. He bought some property from uncle. Half property was in uncle's name and half on uncle's wife's name. Now the uncle's wife have given very negligible road for entry and exit of house. What action can we take against them? For entry and exit.
Advocate Chitra Bhanu Gupta answered
If the property is in your dad's name then you have every right to use the same and as per the law of the land you can file an application before the civil court for right to ingress and egress. And in that way you can get a relief from the Civil Court for your right to entry and exit and also damages from the opposite party. You can get in touch with me for further professional help

Advocate Chitra Bhanu Gupta answered
if you have been made a party to the case then you need to appear and appoint a lawyer and defend yourself.
