Namaste!
I am German citizen and have two cases with me which will be oin need of legal action. Both Indian business partners tried to threathen me, mentioned their powerful contacts and told me how powerless I will be even woth help of an Indian advocat.
I. Business loan
Given in over a period of 4 years (approx. 35 lakh), several contracts of loan do exist, one bigger conract of loand got notarized by Dehli High Court in 2009. All Bank transfers had been declared as loan or show purpose of loans. All are overdue, my business partner is playing on time and giving whatsoever excuses. In the meantime other debtee are getting paid off. My business partner is presently selling some of his land (lots is disputed). I am sure, I will not see any of that money either.
How do I make sure that I will be the first debtee getting paid off?
II. Investment in Ayurvedic clinics
In 2008 I had made a 15 lakh transfer (via 3 cheques) to an ayurvedic doctor. Trusting my doctor I forwent on a contract. Despite several reminders I did not get it and requested the return of the money.
I had to watch how my investment made the doctor purchase shares, property and build a "palace" woth 4 crores. I only got told, he is broke.
Money is transfered in monthly installments to my Indian bank account but without any interest.
There is lots of email communication proving that my transfer was meant as an investment. Last cheque will be due end of 2012. I am sure that without legal help I will not get any pesa interest back. Furtheron the doctor overcharged me on ayurvedic treatments and substracted them from the given investment.
Target: I am claiming interest as usual in the market.

Lots of my Indian friends warned me on those 2 business partners. I was so naiv not believing that people who call you a family member and life-time friend might cheat you.
I love India, I am starting business with a great company in Gujarat and would be glad finding an advocat sharing my beliefs on old values and that this world does not have to surrender towards evil exceptions.
