Hello sir,
I have a case going against legal heirs of my tenant who made fake papers of my shop and claim themselves as owners.
There are total 5 defendants, 1 wife, 2 son, 3 daughters.
Two of the daughters give SPA (Special power of attorney )to 3rd daughter's husband to give evidance and cross on behalf of them.
Is it legal ? What law says ?
Please help.
Thanks

Dear Sir/Madam
I live in a co-operative Hsg. Soc located in Malad Mumbai
We have 2 gates in our society of First (main gate) is kept open for movement of residents and vehicles on a daily basis
There are only 2 gates in the building and this second gate (is kept locked) 24/7, and the society takes Rs. 1000/Month and allow 2 vehicles of type 4 wheeler to be parked in front of the second gate, Now due to this the gate gets fully blocked and if any Fire or emergency happens people cannot escape from the building using this gate, nor any Fire Brigade or Ambulance vehicle can get inside the building.
When I raised this concern, the managing committee says they have considered this and say they are in compliance with this and say we have the keys of the vehicles with us which can be moved.
My question is this allowed in the first place to block the second gate of the building with parked vehicles as no one know when Fire incident can happen,
What should I do if managing committee is not keeping the second gate free of any obstructions
It is the secretary of the society that is stubborn as he has parked 1 of his vehicles in front of the second gate and is defending his actions saying there are monetary benefits to the society in doing this
Please advice
Many Thanks

Can 4 brothers in which 1 brother will let go his share in the house property {standing in the name of Mother(expired)}. Later 2 brothers will pay the 3rd brother his share and get the property transferred on their name.
So should a release deed be made or a family settlement deed will be helpful.

WHAT ARE CHALLENGES OF FILING CASE UNDER SECTION 211 OF IPC?
Read more at: https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/experts/modify_message.asp?entry_id=936115Pl. check out legal opinion on baseless Legal notice and law and opine.
Read more at: https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/experts/ask_query.aspa baseless legal notice itself, while not necessarily leading to a court case, can also be considered a misuse of the legal process if it’s meant to intimidate or harass the recipient.
When it comes to baseless legal notices, while there might not be specific case law focusing purely on legal notices as standalone documents, the broader principles of abuse of process, malicious prosecution, and frivolous claims can apply if a notice is sent with no legal basis. These notices often serve as a precursor to a potential lawsuit, and the intent behind them can bring them within the purview of judicial scrutiny.
Here are some concepts and case laws that touch on baseless claims or notices and their misuse:
1. Bajaj Auto Ltd. v. TVS Motor Company Ltd. (2008) 6 SCC 431
Summary: In this case, the Supreme Court of India discussed the issue of abusive legal strategies, particularly involving frivolous claims and intimidation tactics through legal notices.
Ruling: The court condemned the use of legal notices that were primarily aimed at harassing the other party and making unreasonable demands without legal backing.
Significance: The ruling made it clear that even the issuance of baseless legal notices can lead to misuse of legal process charges if it can be proven that the intent was to harass or intimidate.
2. CIT vs. Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (2002) 1 SCC 633
Summary: In this case, the court examined the misuse of judicial or quasi-judicial powers through issuing notices that had no legal basis, discussing the potential abuse of process through administrative or legal notices.
Ruling: The court emphasized that notices issued without legal basis and with a malicious intent can be penalized. While this was a tax-related case, the principles apply broadly to the issuance of baseless legal notices.
Significance: This case establishes that even the issuance of a notice must be rooted in proper legal authority, and failure to do so could lead to sanctions or penalties.
3. Amritlal Goverdhan Lalan v. State of Gujarat (1999) 8 SCC 613
Summary: This case addressed harassment through legal notices in a property dispute where baseless and false claims were made in the legal notice to coerce the opposite party.
Ruling: The court criticized the practice of sending notices that have no factual or legal basis as a malicious tactic designed to pressure the other party into submission.
Significance: It serves as an example of the court condemning the practice of using legal notices as tools for harassment when they are not backed by legitimate claims.
4. GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd. v. Union of India (2014) 1 SCC 258
Summary: Although this case primarily dealt with commercial matters, the court discussed how legal notices with no proper legal foundation are often used as a strategic tool for harassment.
Ruling: The court pointed out that legal notices that serve no legitimate purpose and are not grounded in law can be considered an abuse of legal procedures, even if they don’t lead to immediate litigation.
Significance: This ruling shows that abusive or baseless notices can be sanctioned by the courts as a misuse of process.
5. Canara Bank v. N.G. Subbaraya Setty (2018) 16 SCC 228
Summary: The case dealt with harassment and frivolous demands made through notices, which were used to intimidate the recipient.
Ruling: The court strongly condemned the use of frivolous demands through legal notices and noted that such tactics could amount to an abuse of the legal system.
Significance: This case reaffirms that even if a case doesn’t make it to court, the misuse of legal notices can still be penalized.
6. Satish Kumar & Others v. Surinder Kumar & Others (2006) 2 SCC 367
Summary: The court addressed a situation where one party used a legal notice to make inflated and false claims regarding property ownership, attempting to coerce the other party into a settlement.
Ruling: The court dismissed the subsequent case based on these false claims and imposed costs on the party that sent the baseless legal notice and pursued the false claims.
Significance: This judgment underlines that sending a baseless legal notice with the intent to mislead or extract unreasonable demands can backfire if the notice escalates into a court case.
IPC Section 211:
If the baseless legal notice eventually leads to false criminal charges being filed against the recipient, the sender could potentially be prosecuted under Section 211 of the Indian Penal Code for false charges with intent to cause injury. This section penalizes individuals who institute criminal proceedings based on false information.
Conclusion:
While there may not be a significant number of reported cases solely dealing with baseless legal notices, courts have repeatedly emphasized that using legal notices to harass, intimidate, or extract unreasonable sums is unacceptable and can be treated as an abuse of legal process. If these notices lead to malicious litigation or unjustified demands, the parties responsible could face penalties, punitive costs, and even criminal prosecution under certain circumstances.

Met in person and paid Consulting fees as well but it resulted in diverse opinions so please help answer below queries?
1) On earlier occasions we tenant's matter against notorious landlords was dealt with by Bombay High Court resulting in Consent Terms in 2013. Landlords severely and deliberately defaulted and 1) Altered floor plan for my tenament from 1 BHK to 1 RK with toilet in the kitchen and 2) Reduced the carpet area from 330 sqft to 300 sqft which is not acceptable to us.
besides delaying the redevelopment work for by 8 years.
While one advocate opined to file A) Claim in City Civil Court (Not in the High Court) & B) Criminal Case in Magistrate's Court for Cheating, Fraud and murder threats as Police due corruption registered mere NC and not FIR
Other advocate suggested to file 1) Case with RERA and 2) Criminal Case in Magistrate's Court.
Kindly suggest correct way and clear doubts.
TIA.
