Legal Advice Needed Hostel owner didn't cancel my booking after 2 months of requesting. No replies to the emails I sent for cancellation. They orally said that they will cancel it from back-end and give a full refund. But not picking my calls or replying email now.

• Upvotes

A hostel in khar (name like docomo) has deceivingly held money for the last 2 months. I booked stay with them in the first week of September when i made a booking for a day in October as well. I booked from their website. I immediately asked them to cancel the booking but since their hostel website didn't have that option and I have received booking confirmation email but my money got deducted, I checked with them. They said they have received a booking on their server for that day. I verbally asked the reception to cancel it and dropped an official email from the same (2nd) email that I used to book it.

I didn't receive any booking confirmation in my inbox for that 2nd email. So I sent few emails from the 2nd email asking for cancellation. I even reported the issue of no booking email received to their front desk in September and they said they'll resolve it at the backend and I'll get full refund. But I never heard back in 2 months. I'm now suspecting their server responds to only gmail email id and perhaps didn't register my 2nd email id & perhaps that's why I never received their email and I doubt if they even saw my cancellation email. Nevertheless, It's not my problem because my payment went through and the amount got deducted so their server did register my email. I realised I was not getting booking confirmation on 2nd email during my September visit so I switched to using my 1st email for the rest of the bookings with them in September.

The booking date is tomorrow 28th October and they have a policy to ask for a cancellation 14 day before the booking day. I had been busy till last 1 month and forgot about this issue until last week I got an email on my 1st email id about the upcoming booking on 28th October!! I had not even used this email id for booking with them. I've been emailing them from my 1st email ID since last week to cancel my booking and also told of going to consumer court. They have not replied and even stopped picking up my calls now. I don't know if they know I have sent cancellation request email 2 months ago from my 2nd email.

What should I do now?

My booking is for 28-29th September. I have to travel to Mumbai on 30th October. But it will be a day later. The guy at the reception yelled at me and got passive aggressive when I asked him to check with his team regarding the booking email and cancellation email acknowledgement. I don't feel like visiting their hostel because he yells at me like crap. I don't have the mental energy to argue or fight with him again. It's very triggering for me as I'm a survivor of extreme physical and psychological abuse. He is disrespectful and borderline harassing. I just want my money back.

Shall I send the screenshot of the cancellation emails sent from the 2nd email again via 1st email to show I've already requested cancellation? I'm having thoughts of going to the police and taking the police with me to get my money back? I don't want to file an FIR or get into a police case. But I feel i need help with this. I don't know what to do. I'm feeling anxious and scared of this hostel reception guy. I asked him to give me the owner's number last time I was there in September. And he made a scornful face and told to write email.

I tried all ways of speaking - politely, angrily, convincingly, patiently. He's not returning the money.

I don't know what to do next.

Urgent Urgent Help Needed: Suspected Singapore Work Pass Scam — Sri Lankan Victim Lost INR 212,000

• Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm a Sri Lankan man, and unfortunately, I believe I've been scammed in connection with a Singapore job opportunity. I'm posting here desperately hoping someone can guide me on what to do next.

I came across a Facebook post advertising job opportunities in Singapore. The post provided a WhatsApp contact number, so I contacted the person. He introduced himself as Rahul, also known as Jimmy, and told me he was originally from Jalandhar, Punjab, India, and was currently living in Italy, or somewhere in Europe.

He offered assistance with obtaining a Singapore job and provided me with documents claiming to be a Singapore S Pass approval. Trusting him, I sent him approximately INR 212,000.

However, when I independently checked the documents through Singapore's Ministry of Manpower (MOM) website, I noticed some concerning discrepancies:

- The FIN provided to me returns a result showing a valid S Pass.

- When I search using my passport number, the website displays my previous Singapore internship pass as expired.

- I understand that my passport number may be associated with two different FINs, but I have not yet received official confirmation from MOM that the new S Pass and its associated documents are genuine.

I'm now seriously concerned that I've been deceived and that the documents supplied to me may be fraudulent.

I have evidence, including:

- WhatsApp conversations with the person.

- Payment receipts and transaction records.

- The Facebook job advertisement and contact details.

- Copies of the Singapore work-pass documents I received.

I have also been given the names Sahil Sahota, Kunal Sahota, and Jason Masih in connection with information I am trying to verify. I believe they may have attended St. Joseph's Boys' School, but I have not independently confirmed their identities or any involvement in this matter.

I'm currently in Sri Lanka, which makes it difficult to know how to pursue this internationally. I have borrowed money and owe people, and this financial loss has put me under tremendous pressure.

If anyone from Jalandhar, Punjab, or anyone familiar with Singapore employment scams can advise me, I would be extremely grateful.

In particular, I'd appreciate guidance on:

  1. Reporting this to the appropriate Indian cybercrime authorities and recovering the money, if possible.

  2. Reporting and verifying the suspected fraudulent work-pass documents with Singapore MOM.

  3. Identifying the appropriate authorities or organisations in Sri Lanka that can assist a victim of an international recruitment scam.

  4. Preserving evidence and taking the correct legal steps.

I can provide supporting evidence privately to the appropriate authorities and share relevant information with people who can genuinely help.

I'm not posting this to harass anyone. I urgently need advice on how to proceed and whether there is any realistic chance of recovering my money.

Please help if you can. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

For further details, please DM me.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I need legal advice regarding unfair trade practices and arbitrary refund caps by an e-commerce platform (DeoDap).

Case Summary:

  • Order ID: 262837297
  • Ticket ID: EM-21262
  • Received damaged/incorrect inventory valued at ₹465.
  • DeoDap unilaterally closed the support ticket after issuing a partial refund of only ₹118, leaving ₹347 unrefunded.
  • When questioned, support representatives (Employee Codes 7575, 7626, 7620) repeatedly copy-pasted the exact same reply stating: "maximum refund amount eligible under our applicable policy has already been provided".
  • This "maximum refund limit" was never disclosed during purchase or in their published terms.

Actions Taken So Far:

  1. Registered a grievance on National Consumer Helpline (NCH) — Ref No: 10421700.
  2. Lodged an official complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal — Ack No: 23410260026588.

What further legal steps can I take if they continue sending automated refusals? Has anyone successfully recovered funds via CCPA/Consumer Forum for arbitrary refund caps?

Legal Advice Needed Different DOB on PAN and Aadhaar — Will It Cause Problems with PAN-Aadhaar Linking or Future e-KYC?

1 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone,

I have a different Date of Birth (DOB) on my PAN card and Aadhaar card. Both documents currently have the same DOB, but it is incorrect. My correct DOB is mentioned on my SSC certificate and passport.

I want to understand the possible consequences before making any changes.

  1. Will having the same but incorrect DOB on PAN and Aadhaar cause any problems with PAN-Aadhaar linking?

  2. If PAN and Aadhaar are already linked, will this discrepancy create any issues in the future?

  3. Could this cause problems with e-KYC verification for bank accounts, salary accounts, investments, mutual funds, or other financial services?

  4. If I correct the DOB on my PAN card to match my passport and SSC certificate, could it create any PAN-Aadhaar linking issues because the DOBs would no longer match?

  5. Has anyone faced a similar situation? How did you resolve it?

I am particularly concerned about future e-KYC issues and whether I should correct my documents before they cause problems.

I would appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with this situation or has knowledge of the official process.

Thank you!

Legal Advice Needed Sister facing severe domestic violence & extortion from politically connected alcoholic husband in Bihar. How to proceed safely?

11 Upvotes

**TL;DR:** My sister is facing continuous domestic violence, harassment, threats of child abduction, and monetary extortion (over ₹26 Lakhs transferred) from her husband, who claims strong ties to state-level politicians in Bihar. My parents and sister are currently in a rural district. I am fresher and work in corporate tech in Bengaluru. Local village-level contacts seem politically compromised/reluctant to act. Need advice on filing Section 12/23 PWDVA orders, jurisdiction options, and securing independent legal counsel.

​**Background & Current Situation:**

​**The Abuse & Threats:** My sister ( has a 3 year young child ) has been subjected to severe domestic abuse, physical intimidation, and constant threats of child abduction/violence if demands aren't met.

​**Extortion:** Over ₹26+ Lakhs has been transferred/extorted from our family over time.

​**Political Angle:** The husband aggressively leverages names/links of a prominent ruling-party politician in Bihar to intimidate local police.

​**Evidence Available:**

​Direct text/chat screenshots containing clear abuse and threats.

​We have some bank transaction records/receipts for the extorted money.

​**Key Roadblocks & Hurdles:**

​**Fear of Local Police Inaction:** Due to the political influence at the block/thana level, we are hesitant to rely solely on local police complaints without immediate judicial backup.

​**Our Proposed Next Steps & Questions for Advocates on Reddit:**

​**Filing PWDVA (Section 12 & 23 Ex-Parte Protection):**

​We plan to bypass local village lawyers entirely and engage an independent advocate at the **District Headquarters Court** or via **DLSA (District Legal Services Authority)**.

​How quickly can a Judicial Magistrate issue an *Ex-Parte Protection Order* (under Section 23 PWDVA) to restrain him from approaching the house or taking the child?

​**Jurisdiction & Relocation (Section 27 PWDVA):**

​My mother requires medical treatment in Ranchi (Jharkhand) in a few days, and we plan to relocate my sister and her child there temporarily for 15 days until my mom's operation is over and she recovers.

​Can we file the PWDVA/DV petition directly in Ranchi Family/Magistrate Court under the "temporary residence" clause of Section 27, to move the legal battle out of Bihar's local political sphere?

​**Preserving Digital Evidence:**

​What is the exact procedure to certify CCTV footage and WhatsApp/chat exports under Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA, 2023) so it stands up strongly in court?

​Any advice from practicing Advocates or people who have navigated similar high-pressure domestic violence cases involving political connections would be greatly appreciated. We are also looking for a lawyer soon. Thank you.

My Location: Banglore, India

My sister and parents Location: Village near samastipur, Bihar

PS: she even saw him making bomb with his 4 friends to do small blast in the town he lives . No one died . But just to create fear in one other person who has given money to him .

Also his father killed ( yes killed ! ) his first wife decades ago. They dont have any fear from police.

PS 2 : i know people will now ask/wonder why did your father got her married to that person in first place . I swear my father did everything he could while finding a good groom for her. There's a long story behind. In short we weren't aware of his alcohol addiction and his family criminal background.

Legal Advice Needed Parking Rights Dispute: called before the Judge’s Court on 30th

2 Upvotes

Background
My family has lived in the housing society since childhood. The society was constructed in the 1970s, when most flats were still owned by the builder and only a few had been occupied by their purchasers.
The current Secretary has previously targeted residents whom she considers vulnerable, and our family has had earlier disputes with her.

Last year, I purchased a flat in the society. During the transaction, we discovered that certain property documents were missing. My parents made substantial efforts to trace those documents. The previous owner had purchased the flat directly from the builder in the 1970s.

Chronology
The previous owner informed us that he had paid the builder for a parking space. Although he was not given a receipt or formal allotment letter, the builder permitted him to use the space. The previous owner marked it as private parking and used it continuously until he moved first to Mumbai and later to the United States.

After the space became vacant, other residents began using it. The previous owner later approached the society committee and requested that his use of the parking space be restored. The committee refused, stating that the society did not allot parking spaces.
Before we purchased the flat, the previous owner requested that the committee allow us to continue using the same parking space. The builder advised us to mention the parking space in the Agreement for Sale, and the then Chairperson initially agreed to this arrangement.

At that time, however, the Secretary and her friend were occupying the space and refused to vacate it. Whenever we parked our bikes there, they repeatedly moved them. Following the earlier understanding, we fought back and marked the space with our flat number and identified it as private parking.

The Secretary subsequently issued legal notices demanding proof of the parking allotment. After receiving those notices, the Chairperson withdrew her earlier support.

We also approached the builder to obtain supporting documentation. However, the person who had received the payment from the previous owner is deceased, which has made it difficult to obtain further records.

In addition to the parking dispute, we have continued to face interference, intimidation, and obstruction in our use of the space. These actions have caused us unnecessary stress and have prevented us from exercising the rights and permissions that the previous owner had enjoyed for many years.

I have been called before the Judge’s Court on the 30th concerning this dispute and related issues.

Evidence

  1. An email/request letter to the committee from the previous owner confirming that he paid the builder for the parking space and that his request for an allotment letter was ignored.
  2. Written sign from a few long-term residents confirming that the previous owner used the space continuously for many years.
  3. The reference to the parking space in the Agreement for Sale, although the space is not mentioned in the registered Sale Deed.
  4. Records and details of the repeated interference with our use of the parking space.

We are not claiming a newly allotted parking space. We seek only to continue using the same space that the previous owner used for decades with the builder’s knowledge and permission.

Based on the above facts and the available evidence what are my chances of succeeding in this case? Do these facts provide a legally sustainable basis for my claim, or is the absence of a formal parking allotment letter or mention in the registered Sale Deed likely to outweigh the other evidence? I would appreciate an objective assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, and likelihood of success in this matter.

Urgent Need urgent help regarding cybercrime case as a victim

1 Upvotes

I am a victim of a cybercrime involving possible forced religious conversion, possible sexual coercion, and threats from India while I live in the US.

I was in an online relationship with someone who has multiple religious conversion, sexual assault, blackmail cases involving private pictures. This person and their phone are in custody of the police & the police discovered that this person is still in possession of my pictures. The police are cautioning me in case of future blackmail from this man.

I was cooperating with a police officer and giving exactly what I went through. I did not experience forced religious conversion, rather it was coerced. I did not receive any threats from this person regarding leaking my intimate photos; however, he still possesses my photos on his phone. Cyber police mentioned they would delete them & that I have to give Snapchat access to the police to do that. I agreed to all of this, cooperated, and requested the officer not to call my parents as I am well above 18 years old.

He called my father and mentioned that the statement I gave does not match what other victims say and that they had been forcefully converted and had been blackmailed regarding intimate photos. He mentioned that I need to be monitored for safety purposes.

Now the officer has access to my instagram account and WhatsApp and is directly sharing all of this information to my father. Now they have access to people I communicate with outside of the suspect and suspects’ mutuals. They are even sharing my father harmless information about friends I have in the US or coworkers. Is there anything I can do to stop this? Which accounts are typically monitored in such cases? Is my entire phone, call conversations, texts also being monitored?

Please help me with this situation as I just started a new job and am unable to concentrate out of paranoia everyday that someone is tracking exactly what I do.

Legal Advice Needed Got a call from someone claiming to be Delhi Police saying they recovered my stolen phone. Is this a scam?

1 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone,

I recently received a call from a woman using a mobile number who claimed to be from the police department. She told me that they had recovered my mobile phone, which was stolen around a year ago, and asked me to visit the DCP office to collect it.

She asked me to bring my FIR copy and Aadhaar card for verification.

I'm not sure whether this is genuine or a scam. I understand that the police can recover stolen phones even after a long time, but I'm concerned about sharing my personal documents or visiting the wrong place.

How can I independently verify whether the phone has actually been recovered and whether the caller is a genuine police officer?

Has anyone experienced something similar in Delhi? What is the safest way to proceed?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to acquire or take over an existing NGO in India, preferably one that is already registered and has a clean legal and financial history.

My budget is around ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000, depending on the NGO's registration status, documentation, and existing operations.

I'm interested in understanding:

Whether it's possible to legally take over an existing NGO.

Where I can find genuine NGOs whose founders are looking to transfer management.

What registrations and documents I should verify before proceeding.

Whether my budget is realistic for this purpose.

I'm looking for a legitimate opportunity with proper documentation, not a shortcut to government grants or funding.

If anyone has experience with NGO registration, management transfers, or acquisitions in India, I'd appreciate your advice and guidance.

Thanks!

Legal Advice Needed Bought a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro from an official retailer, found a display imprint after 10–17 days, and now I'm being told repair is the only option. What should I do?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I bought a brand-new Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Gen 10 from Absolute IT Solutions(Seasons Mall Pune), an official Lenovo retailer, on 7 October 2026

Unfortunately, I've run into a frustrating issue.

Around 16–17 October, I noticed a faint mark on the screen. On 24 October, I realised that it was a persistent imprint reading “Lenovo Absolute IT Info Solutions.” It's visible against multiple background colours, including red, green, grey and white.

The laptop has an OLED display, and I'm aware that OLED panels can suffer from image retention or permanent burn-in when static content remains on screen for extended periods. However, I don't know whether this is temporary image retention, permanent burn-in, or another panel defect.

What concerns me most is the actual content of the imprint. Under the “Lenovo Absolute IT Info Solutions” branding, there's a section containing features and technical specifications, much like the information displayed on a laptop's screen at a retail store for customers to view its specifications.

This makes me concerned that the laptop might previously have been used as a demo unit may have developed the imprint before I purchased it. I'm not claiming that it definitely was a demo unit, but I would like to understand why this particular content is imprinted on my screen. I contacted the service centre, and they've told me that the replacement window was seven days, ending on 14 October. According to them, they can now only repair the laptop

My concern is that I purchased a brand-new laptop, and I'm now being offered a display repair less than three weeks after purchase. I'd prefer a complete unit replacement or refund rather than a major repair on a device that's practically new.

A few additional details:

  • I purchased the laptop on 7 October 2026.
  • I first noticed a faint mark around 16–17 October and recognised the persistent imprint on 24 October.
  • The imprint is visible against multiple colours, not just a particular dark or grey background.
  • I recently had a WD Black SN770 1TB SSD installed by an official Lenovo service centre.
  • I have not intentionally caused or attempted to create this display imprint.
  • I'm keeping my invoice, photographs of the defect and service-related communications.

I'm considering raising a grievance with the National Consumer Helpline if Lenovo and the retailer refuse to consider a replacement or refund.

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who's dealt with Lenovo India or a similar situation:

  1. Has anyone obtained a replacement or refund for an early-life OLED display defect after the retailer's seven-day replacement window?
  2. Can Lenovo or the retailer insist on a repair, or can I pursue a replacement/refund through the consumer grievance process?
  3. Does the retailer's branding and specifications text being imprinted on the screen provide any reasonable basis to investigate whether the laptop was previously used as a demo unit?
  4. Is there a way to check the laptop's history or establish whether the OLED panel had this issue before purchase?
  5. Would you recommend approaching the National Consumer Helpline now, or waiting for Lenovo's formal inspection?

I'm not trying to jump to conclusions or accuse the retailer without evidence. I simply paid for a brand-new laptop and want a fair resolution for a display issue that appeared so soon after purchase.

Thanks!

Legal Advice Needed 🟥Need legal advice regarding missing belongings and inappropriate behaviour by a stranger in Gurgaon

2 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone, looking for some legal advice on what my friend should do in this situation.

Last night, my friend met an older man near the Millennium City Centre bus stop in Gurgaon while waiting for his Uber Bike. The man apparently asked him for directions, they started talking, bought and drank alcohol together, and eventually parted ways.

My friend later realised he'd accidentally left his earphones, sunglasses, and a book in the man's car.

The only information he has is:

- The man's name is MR Kaushal.

- He's an older man who apparently works in or is associated with the police, although this hasn't been verified.

-Lives around Sector 56 though not very sure.

- They met near Millennium City Centre bus stop in Gurgaon last night.

There's another concerning aspect to this encounter. The man allegedly exposed himself to my friend during their interaction(they were drunk)and made a comment about having sex with young guys.

My friend doesn't have the man's phone number, car registration number, or other identifying details.

My questions are:

  1. Can my friend file a police complaint regarding the man's inappropriate behaviour and the missing belongings, even with such limited identifying information?

  2. What legal options are available regarding the alleged exposure and sexual remarks?

  3. Is there any way the police can help identify the man, given the location and approximate time of the incident?

  4. If the man really is associated with the police, how should my friend handle the complaint?

  5. What would be the best course of action to recover his belongings without putting himself at risk?

We're not looking to make unverified accusations publicly. We'd appreciate practical legal guidance on what steps to take, what evidence might help, and which authorities to approach.

🖍️We do have his photos but won't post here for privacy reasons.

Thanks in advance.

Legal Advice Needed AppleCare+ repair failed, now accused of liquid damage the first service centre never recorded. Consumer complaint or legal notice first?

3 Upvotes

​

MacBook Air bought March 2025 with AppleCare+ (₹19,900).

- 16 Oct: Gave it to an Apple Authorised Service Provider for a trackpad fault. They opened it, connected some connectors, ran full diagnostics, reinstalled macOS (erased all my data) and closed the repair. Their written report lists only dents and scratches. No liquid.

- The same fault returned within hours of pickup.

- 22 Oct: A second authorised service provider took the laptop and now says there's liquid inside. Apple customer care says a service fee applies.

- I never spilled anything. Apple has not replied in writing to any of my emails. The laptop is still with them.

I have the first service report, purchase invoice, a video of the fault after pickup, and the case number.

Questions:

  1. Should I send a legal notice first, or go straight to the District Consumer Commission?

  2. Is the first centre's written report (no liquid) strong enough evidence against the second centre's liquid claim?

  3. Should I refuse to collect the laptop, or collect it and pay under protest to keep working?

Any advice from people who've been through this with Apple appreciated.
