What legal action can taken if credit card bill is not paid?

If an accused leaves the country and renounces Indian citizenship, they can still be prosecuted under Indian law, with extradition requests and Red Corner Notices potentially pursued for non-bailable offenses.

What is the difference between a criminal Offence and a civil Offence?

A criminal offense involves a breach of law punishable by the state (e.g., murder, theft), while a civil offense involves disputes between individuals or entities, typically resolved with compensation (e.g., breach of contract, property disputes).

What are non bailable and bailable offence list?

Bailable offenses include theft, simple hurt, and defamation, while non-bailable offenses include murder, rape, terrorism, and kidnapping for ransom. Bail for non-bailable offenses requires court approval.

Yes, an overspeeding challan in Delhi can be cancelled if you successfully challenge it in court, provide valid evidence, or show that the violation was incorrect. You can also file a complaint with the Delhi Traffic Police or appeal to the Transport Department for review.

What options I have if I don't want to pay for challan?

If you don't want to pay a challan in India, you can contest it in court by challenging the violation, request a hearing to present your case, or apply for a review of the fine.

What if I cannot afford a lawyer?

Monitoring someone else's social media without consent is illegal in India if done with malicious intent or unauthorized access. It can violate privacy rights under Article 21 and the Information Technology Act, 2000 (Section 66E).

Is it legal to hurt someone in self-defence in India?

Yes, it is legal to hurt someone in self-defense in India under certain circumstances, provided the force used is reasonable and proportionate to the threat. Excessive force or retaliation beyond the immediate danger may not be protected by law.
