Advocate Saylee Chaudhari answered
Under divorce jurisdiction rules, a petition can be filed (Hindu):where the marriage was solemnised,where the parties last resided together,where the respondent resides, andin case the wife is the petitioner, where she is presently residing.A husband cannot file a divorce case at the place where he is residing unless the wife also resides there or the cause of action arose there.In your situation, if you are filing the divorce, jurisdiction will depend on Nashik (place of marriage), Mumbai (last matrimonial residence), or the place where your wife is presently residing.Because jurisdiction issues can lead to objections and dismissal at a later stage, it is strongly advisable to consult a family law lawyer who can assess the facts and ensure the petition is filed in the correct court.

Advocate Saylee Chaudhari answered
If you have already obtained a decree of Restitution of Conjugal Rights in your favour and one year has elapsed from the date of the decree without resumption of cohabitation, you may be legally entitled to seek divorce under Section 13(1A)(ii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, subject to facts and compliance with procedural requirements.As regards details of divorce matters previously filed under this provision before the Bandra Family Court, such information is not available in the public domain and cannot be accessed by individuals directly. Court records are case-specific and can only be inspected through proper legal procedure.It is advisable to consult a practicing family law advocate who can examine your decree, guide you on the maintainability of the divorce petition, and assist in obtaining any relevant court information through lawful means.

Q: Writ of Mandamus against IEPF Authority for Statutory Breach of Rule 7

Seeking HC advocate to file Writ of Mandamus against IEPF Authority. Company verification was received by IEPFA on 25/08/2025. Per Rule 7(6), the mandatory 60-day disposal deadline expired on 24/10/2025. Claim remains "Under Processing" after 120+ days without written reasons for delay. I have exhausted administrative remedies via PMO, RTI, and CEO escalation. Need to compel immediate approval based on documented statutory breach.

Advocate Saylee Chaudhari answered
You have a strong and maintainable case for filing a Writ of Mandamus under Article 226 before the concerned High Court against the IEPF Authority. Rule 7(6) of the IEPF Rules mandates disposal of claims within 60 days from receipt of complete verification. Since the statutory timeline has lapsed without reasons and all alternative remedies have been exhausted, the High Court can direct IEPFA to decide the claim expeditiously and pass a reasoned order. Before this you can send representation/ legal notice to IEPFA demanding compliance with Rule 7(6) and a time-bound decision.Verification of documents are required.

Q: Put debit block and lien on my account with out court order

I am seeking clarity on whether it is legally acceptable in India for a bank to impose a lien and debit block on a savings account solely based on a recovery lawyer’s letter, without any court order or government directive, and what steps I can take to protect my rights if this action is improper.

Advocate Saylee Chaudhari answered
No. A bank cannot place or continue a lien/freezing of an account merely on the basis of a recovery lawyer’s letterA lien or freeze on a bank account can be legally imposed only:* under a court order (civil/criminal court),* on directions of police / cyber cell / investigating agency under law,* under statutory authority (Income Tax, ED, GST, etc.), or* in limited cases of banker’s lien for the bank’s own dues.A recovery advocate’s notice has no legal forceto freeze or lien an account. If a bank has done so only on such a letter, it is illegal and can be challenged by written complaint to the bank, escalation to RBI Banking Ombudsman, and appropriate legal proceedings.
