I had a very good experience with eDrafter during my son’s Gazette name change process. The process took time, but the team stayed connected throughout and ultimately completed the Gazette publication successfully. Pushpendra Singh was helpful whenever documents or clarifications were required, and I received the final Gazette notification copy properly. One suggestion I would give is that more proactive updates during the waiting period would help reduce customer anxiety, especially in legal documentation matters. Apart from that, the overall process was handled professionally and the final result was successful. Thank you to the team for helping complete this important process for my family.

Recent Customer Queries

I met with an online fraud where I received a massage from bank about some OTP and then got a call from my bank where they provide my info, I thought the call was genuine and I give him the OTP and then got a massage where Rs-12,760/-amount was debited from my account so I wanna know where I can file the case and under what law ?

It is a serious matter cyber fraud. Here’s how you can lodge a cyber fraud complaint and the laws to consider for redress: 

Steps That You Can Take

    2. Request them to deactivate your account or card so that no further unauthorized transactions will take place. 
    3. Ask for an unauthorized e-payment dispute form which you will complete in order to file formally on this claim. 
  • File a Complaint with the Cyber Crime Cell

Also, you should be aware of a few Acts that will help you in your case.

If a previous owner of a land had allowed a neighbour or neighbour to walk or drive over his land in a shortcut and this has been going on for say a decade or so can I as the new owner stop them now from using the shortcut? Or can the neighbour or neighbours claim a legal right of way against me?

Whether you, as the new owner, can stop neighbours from using a shortcut over your land hinges on several legal considerations regarding the establishment of easements and the rights of the neighbours based on historical use.

Types of Easements

  • Express Easement: Created through a written agreement or deed, explicitly granting the right of way. If such a document exists, the neighbours would have a legally enforceable right to continue using the shortcut.
  • Implied Easement: Arises when land is subdivided, and it is necessary for the use and enjoyment of the land. It relies on the historical use being apparent and necessary.
  • Prescriptive Easement: Similar to adverse possession, this type of easement is acquired through continuous, open, and notorious use of the land without the owner’s permission for a statutory period, often around 20 years, but this can vary by jurisdiction.

 Assessing the Situation

  1. Nature of Use:
    • Permissive Use: If the previous owner granted permission, this generally creates a license, which is revocable at any time. As the new owner, you can revoke this permission, stopping the neighbours from using the shortcut.
    • Adverse Use: If the neighbours used the shortcut without explicit permission, openly, continuously, and without interruption for the statutory period, they might claim a prescriptive easement.
  2. Documentation and Records:
    • Title Search: Perform a thorough title search to check for any recorded easements.
    • Previous Owner’s Intent: Determine if there was any documented intent to grant a permanent right of way.

 Steps to Take

  • Consult a Property Lawyer: Laws regarding easements and property rights can be complex and vary by jurisdiction. A property lawyer can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and location.
  • Communication with Neighbours: Before taking any legal steps, have a conversation with your neighbours. Inform them of your intentions and seek an amicable solution, if possible.

Revoking Permission

If the neighbours’ use was purely permissive, provide them with a formal written notice revoking permission to use the shortcut.

Legal Action

If neighbours assert a prescriptive easement, they may take legal action to enforce their claim. The court will evaluate the continuity and nature of the use to determine if an easement by prescription has been established.

Potential Outcomes

  • Revoking Permission: If the use was based on permission (license), you can likely stop the neighbours from using the shortcut.
  • Court Ruling on Easement: If the neighbours claim a prescriptive easement, the court will consider the duration and nature of their use. If they meet the criteria for a prescriptive easement, the court might grant them a legal right of way.

In a situation of property dispute where five siblings contribute towards the purchase price of a house, but only two of their names are listed on the legal title document, several legal questions and considerations arise regarding ownership rights and interests.

  • Legal Ownership
      • Named Owners: The two siblings listed on the legal title document are considered the legal owners of the property. They have legal title and are entitled to certain rights and responsibilities associated with property ownership.
      • Beneficial Ownership: The siblings who contributed financially but are not named on the title may still have a beneficial interest in the property. This means they have an equitable interest in the property’s value, despite not being listed on the legal title.
  • Rights and Responsibilities
      • Legal Owners: The siblings listed on the title have legal rights, such as the right to occupy the property, sell it, or mortgage it. They also have legal responsibilities, such as paying property taxes and maintenance costs.
      • Beneficial Owners: The siblings who contributed financially but are not on the title may have rights to use the property or receive a share of any proceeds if the property is sold. However, these rights may not be as enforceable as those of the legal owners.
  • Resolving Ownership Disputes
      • Agreements: It’s advisable for siblings to enter into written agreements outlining their respective interests and rights regarding the property. This can help avoid disputes in the future.
      • Legal Action: If disputes arise over ownership or rights to the property, legal action may be necessary. This could involve seeking a court order to determine beneficial interests or to rectify any mistakes in the legal title.
      • Tracing Contributions: The siblings who contributed financially but are not on the title may be able to trace their contributions and demonstrate their beneficial interest in the property through documentation, such as bank statements or witness testimony.

In scenarios where loud music or construction activities from your property disturb your neighbours, the affected neighbours may indeed have legal recourse, potentially claiming that the activities constitute a nuisance or a breach of regulations. Here’s an overview:

  • Nuisance
      • Definition: Nuisance refers to any activity or condition that substantially interferes with the use and enjoyment of another person’s property.
      • Types: There are two main types of nuisance :
      • Private Nuisance: Affects an individual or specific group of individuals.
      • Public Nuisance: Affects the general public or a large group of people.
  • Legal Considerations
      • Impact on Neighbours: The affected neighbours may argue that the loud music or construction noise substantially interferes with their right to quiet enjoyment of their property.
      • Local Regulations: Many municipalities have noise ordinances or bylaws that regulate the acceptable levels of noise during certain hours. If the activities violate these regulations, it strengthens the neighbour’s case.
      • Duration and Intensity: Factors such as the duration, frequency, and intensity of the noise are considered in determining whether a nuisance exists.
      • Reasonableness: Courts consider whether the noise is reasonable given the time, place, and circumstances. For example, daytime construction noise may be more acceptable than late-night music.
  • Legal Recourse
      • Private Action: Affected neighbours may file a lawsuit against the property owner or the person responsible for the noise, seeking damages or an injunction to stop the activity.
      • Local Authorities: Neighbors may also report the noise violation to local authorities, such as the police or municipal noise control office, who may issue warnings or fines.
