(my brother-in-law) Anil Kumar, a 30-year-old accountant, has worked at a construction company in Dehradun for seven years. He is the main provider for his family, which includes his wife, two children, and his elderly parents. Recently, Anil was accused of stealing money from his employer by transferring small amounts over time. The company claims he embezzled a large sum of money over two years, leading to his arrest. Anil says it was a mistake in the accounting software and denies the allegations. Anil was denied bail because, under the old laws, his crime was considered non-bailable. Since his arrest, his family has struggled financially, and his reputation in the community has suffered. Anil has no previous records and he is the sole bread earner of the family. How does the new law impact Anil’s bail application? Can his lawyer convince the judge to release him under the new guidelines, given his nonviolent nature and family responsibilities? What factors must the court consider before deciding on bail under the BSA?

Meena Sharma is a well-known editor in a monthly magazine from Delhi who built her reputation by investigating corruption. A few years ago, she wrote a series of articles accusing a politician, of misusing public funds for his personal benefit. Meena’s reports stirred up controversy, with many people discussing the corruption claims she made. But the politician denied all the accusations and filed a defamation lawsuit against Meena, claiming that her articles were false and damaging to his reputation. This lawsuit has been dragging on for three years, with no solution in sight because the courts are overloaded and keep delaying the hearings. Meena’s career has suffered during this time. Some people question her credibility, and it’s been hard for her to get work as an editor because of the ongoing case. And the legal team of the politician is demanding a large sum of money from Meena, claiming her articles damaged his political career. Meena’s legal team argues that her case should be transferred to the BNSS’s fasttrack courts, so the matter can be resolved quickly. The politician’s lawyers, however, believe that the defamation case should proceed as per the usual court timeline. What can be done?

My name is Sunita Sharma, and I'm a 40-year-old homemaker from a small village. In our village, standing up for what's right is important, but many of us don’t know much about our legal rights. We face issues like domestic violence, land disputes, and people being denied what they deserve, but we’re often lost when it comes to finding help. I remember when I was denied my share of inherited property; I didn’t know where to turn or what to do. I’ve seen this happen to so many people in our community, and it’s heartbreaking because we just don’t have the knowledge or resources to fight back. I’m also wondering if the BNS will organize workshops or camps in our village, where legal experts can come and talk to us directly, answer our questions, and guide us on what to do. It would be great if they could send mobile vans with legal resources to our village, so we don’t have to travel far to get help. Will the BNS work with local NGOs and community leaders to make sure everyone gets the information they need?

Husband filed for divorce in 2012. The wife was a joint partner in the family business. During the divorce proceedings, the wife came to know that partnership was dissolved, and her name was removed. She filed another case on the husband, brother in law (husband's brother) and father in law who were the joint partners in the firm. Both cases are still pending court's verdict. Can the husband in such cases either (i) re-marry or (ii) enter into a relationship and would that relationship be considered legal in the eyes of law.
In the meantime, the father in law passed away in 2022. Wife's petition to add all legal heirs to the case (i.e. husband's two sisters) was accepted by the court. The brother in law has inherited all the property as well as business asssets and cash of the father. What is not known to the sisters is whether there is a will or not by the father. It is known that the father-in-law transferred all property as well as assets to his son (i.e. the brother-in-law) when he was alive. However, it is not known whether transfer was done via a gift deed. In such a case (i) are the sisters' responsible as legal heirs to repay any debts of their father in relation to the partnership.

Indore Development Authority allotted a plot to a person through a registered lease deed. I bought half of that plot from that person through a registered deed. The area of ​​the plot is 1000 sq. ft. As per the rules of Indore Development Authority, if a 1000 sq. ft. plot was sold, the name would have been transferred to Indore Development Authority. But if part property was sold, the name of the buyer of part property would not be recorded in the records of Indore Development Authority or it can be said that then name transfer will not happen. It has been 18 years since I bought the property but the situation is still the same. I want to sell my plot but no bank is giving loan to the buyer because the property is still registered in the name of the person from whom I bought the plot. Any buyer is also afraid due to this reason that the property is still registered in the name of that person in Indore Development Authority. Due to these reasons, I am not able to sell the plot. Please tell me what remedies are available to me? Should I approach the court of law against Indore Development Authority?

Land rights
Priya Mehta, a 38-year-old real estate developer from Mumbai, has been in the business for over 15 years. A few years ago, she was accused of illegally taking over government land and selling it to private buyers for a big profit. The land was supposed to be used for a public housing project, but Priya’s company allegedly falsified documents to make it seem privately owned. As a result, the government filed a case against her under old laws, accusing her of land grabbing and fraud. Priya denies the accusations, saying she bought the land legally and that the issue is due to poor government records. Since the case began, her business has suffered, and she’s lost investors due to the negative publicity. The prosecution argues that Priya’s actions were serious, as the land was meant for public use. Can Priya’s case be reclassified under the new Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and resolved through a BNSS mediation process? The prosecution insists she should be punished under the old laws, without the benefits of mediation. Should Priya be allowed to settle her case through mediation, or should she face the full force of the traditional trial process?
