Q: Society committee forcing to stop tuition classes

I live in a 48 flats society which has been launched recently. I teach 15 students for 5 days/week for 2 hrs/day. Also,there are other people in the society who take tuitions. The students of other's tuitions are not monitored properly by the tuitioner in the society premises. So people had complaints against them regarding loitering of students, security threat, parking etc. Recently, there was a bicycle stolen from society parking and a student of other's tuition was found to be the culprit by cctv footage. Now in a reaction to this, society committee have decided that no one can take tuition in the society. But this decision does not bring any justice to me as from the very beginning I've been monitoring and escorting my 15 students from the society's main gate to my flat and vice-versa. There haven't been single complaints against my students so far. What can I do to legally challenge their decision ? As teaching is my passion and I cannot leave it due to this injustice.

Advocate Dipesh Jain answered
You may write a letter to the society explaining your situation. You should impress upon them that instead of stopping tuition activities they should focus on improving the security of the society for example by installing cctv at strategic locations in the society area. Even after that if the society does not agree, then you may make a formal complaint to the Registrar of Co-operative Societies against the decision of the society committee to not allow any tuition activity.

Q: The procedure of name change in documents

Hello. I have to change my name on all my documents. Need guidance about the procedure.

Advocate Dipesh Jain answered
Name change procedure briefly involves (i) preparing an appropriate Affidavit which is to be notarized, (ii) Publication in two daily newspaper and (iii) Gazette Notification (not mandatory, but advised). This procedure should be carried out by and under an experienced professional such as a lawyer so that peculiar circumstances and facts of each case might be factored in the above process. In some cases, it has been observed that same name with slight modifications have been used for different documents. For example, Ratan Jain in Pan Card and Ratankumar Jain in Passport. Such discrepancies should not be neglected as it may be problematic and therefore need to be dealt with at the earliest.
