Sound Familiar?
These are the most common legal questions Indians face every day. Neethi gives you clear, actionable answers.
PROPERTY
Landlord won't return security deposit
Under the Rent Control Act, your landlord must return the deposit within 1-3 months. You can send a legal notice and file a case in the Rent Tribunal.
EMPLOYMENT
Employer hasn't paid salary for 2 months
File a complaint under the Payment of Wages Act at your local Labour Commissioner's office. No lawyer needed, it's free and usually resolved in 30 days.
FAMILY
Want to know rights in a divorce
Under Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act, you have rights to maintenance, child custody, and property division. Mutual consent divorce takes 6-18 months.
CONSUMER
Got cheated by an online seller
File a complaint on the National Consumer Helpline (1915) or e-Daakhil portal. For purchases under ₹1 crore, Consumer Court handles it with minimal fees.
GENERAL
Received a legal notice — what to do?
Don't panic. A legal notice is not a court order. You have 15-30 days to reply. Read it carefully, understand the claims, and send a written response.
CRIMINAL
Someone filed a false FIR against me
You can file for anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC and also file a complaint for filing a false FIR under Section 182/211 IPC against the complainant.
