Advocate Mohammed Asif answered
Yes, both civil and criminal remedies are available. You can approach the jurisdictional Magistrate under Section 175(3) BNSS, 2023 for appropriate police action, as the alleged death threat may amount to criminal intimidation under Section 351 BNS, 2023. On the civil side, you can file an appropriate eviction and recovery of possession suit, along with claims for arrears of rent, mesne profits and, where necessary, a permanent injunction to protect his peaceful possession.

Q: Legal notice sent for the messages circulated in WhatsApp group

A neighbour has sent a legal notice stating we caused a mental trauma to him bcz of messages in wtsapp group. He cited we have to tarnished his image and spoiled his reputation. Wherein nothing was done of tat sort. Apparently this person in not even part of wtsapp group. How can we deal with this kind of situation ….

Advocate Mohammed Asif answered
A legal notice is only an allegation, not proof. If the claims are false, there's no need to panic. Reply through an advocate, firmly denying the allegations and asking the sender to produce evidence. If the person was not even a member of the WhatsApp group, proving defamation or mental trauma becomes difficult. Preserve all chats and related records, avoid unnecessary communication, and let the matter be addressed through a proper legal reply.

Advocate Mohammed Asif answered
You should immediately issue a legal notice to the agent demanding repayment of the entire outstanding amount within a specified period, failing which appropriate legal proceedings will be initiated. In addition, a police complaint may be lodged for offences such as cheating, criminal breach of trust, and misappropriation of funds if the money was obtained on false promises. You may also institute a civil suit for recovery of the outstanding amount along with applicable interest and legal costs. If the agent is operating through a consultancy or any business entity, appropriate legal action may also be taken against the firm. Further, all relevant evidence, including payment receipts, bank statements, WhatsApp chats, emails, call records, agreements, and documents relating to the visa process, should be carefully preserved to support your claim.

Q: Industrial Noise Pollution Causing Health Issues in Residential Area

I am facing continuous excessive noise from industrial machinery operating in a residential area. I have submitted complaints to the Pollution Control Board, Police, and GHMC, but no effective action has been taken. The Pollution Control Board directed me to approach the police, while the police stated they can only issue a challan and cannot stop the activity. I have also filed RTI applications seeking information about permissions, inspections, and action taken.The continuous noise is seriou

Advocate Mohammed Asif answered
A writ petition may be filed before the Hon’ble High Court seeking directions to the concerned authorities to take immediate action and stop the operation of industrial machinery in the residential area. The petition can also request the authorities to prevent any unauthorized industrial activities being carried out in the locality. Such directions would help protect the residents from continuous noise pollution and other disturbances, ensuring a peaceful and safe living environment.

Q: Issue of mental harrasment and threating

Hello Advocate,Iam sowmya from Telangana. I came across mental harrasment and threating issue which happened in 2021 for my sister. Before I had no evidence so I was not able to file a case. Can I file a case now after 5 years since I have evidence now?

Advocate Mohammed Asif answered
Yes, your sister may still be able to take legal action even though the incident occurred in 2021. The delay in filing a complaint does not automatically prevent a case from being registered, especially if relevant evidence has only recently become available. She should submit a detailed written complaint to the police explaining the incidents, the nature of the threats or harassment, and the reason for the delay, along with all supporting evidence now in her possession. The authorities will assess the allegations and evidence to determine the appropriate course of action. If the police do not take action, she may approach the jurisdictional Magistrate for suitable directions. Before that I need to examine the facts and evidence and guide you on the most effective legal remedy available.
