Law & Ethics - November 2006

my friend has been recently falsely charged under Protection of Women from DVA 2005 by his estranged wife.we all know she's lying, as does her Counsel. but she's persisted with it, threatening him out of vindictiveness, when it came to light that she'd been lying all through. so in the form she's filled, there's nothing that she's left unticked. they'r not living together since the past 18 months, and in this case, its the hubby who's a victim of the wife's cruelty, who's turned him out of his own house and is living in it with someone else.
he's filed for a divorce, but now this counter from the wife.
under these circumstances, how does he protect himself?
can someone help him get out of a very bad marriage? any NGOs/ groups in mumbai/delhi where he can take proper counselling and adopt the correct course of action?
i look forward to quick responses, for his sake.

I asked because I had an assault occur to me that was possibly racially motivated and I have yet to find anyone to aid me in gaining some sort of justice in this act. my hands were injured, I have been psychologically affected by it and though I used to be a active party in many works of charity, giving away books to libraries and aiding shelters when I could, I have shied away from this for the fear of encountering more police now. my life is been seriously affected.

My husband was going straight through an intersection, and the light was yellow as he proceeded. A lady made a left-hand turn in front of him, and he couldn't stop quickly enough to avoid hitting her. She claims to have witnesses who say that the light was red. However, knowing my husband's driving, and him telling me with absolute certainty that the light was yellow, I know he didn't go through on red. I don't know how much weight these witnesses have in this. I saw one of them pull up 30 minutes after the accident, and they appeared to be friends with the other driver. Would we stand a chance if we appeared for the court date? Or, do we just pay the fine? To us, it's the principle. He didn't run a red light, and we don't want his pristine record for the last 21 years to show "failed to observe traffic control device." If these witnesses would sway the judge (do they have to appear, or not?) in the wrong direction, though, it might not behoove us to pursue it. Any advice?

The property is a rented one. The tenant has lived there for over 30 years, and the 'landlord' died last year. His widow wanted to sell the property but the deeds cannot be found, and there are no other documents to prove ownership. The widow has informed the tenant that her solicitor has advised that rent can no longer be collected as ownership cannot be proved. In return, any repairs cannot be carried out. The tenant is in a quandry, and maybe squatters rights can apply here.

A man who sexually abused me for months when I was 12-13 is about to get out of jail. I was not his first victim and I know I won't be the last. I have considered killing him and paying the consequences to save any other girls from becoming his victim. Or hiring a PI to perminantly tail him and call the police if he ever even comes close to a child. Is there anything else I can do, legally?

If it was 1861 and knowing what you do now....would you have voted for succession all over again. I think 145 years is long enough to submit this question to the people of the north and south. Would you succede from the Union after what you know now?

I read on a website about tenant rights that it is illegal for a lease to say anything about evicting you immediatly, that the landlord has to bring you to court in order to evict you, when I looked at my lease it doesn't say anything about court, it says they can just tell you to leave without any prior notice, does anyone know if that's legal? Or a website that I can go to that would give accurate information about tenant laws? I need something to back it up with.

I got a $4200 insulated patio cover on my screen room installed in early October. One week later, it rained and leaked. I called the company and supposedly they came out to fix it although no one ever called or knocked on the door. Two weels later, it rained again and it was leaking bad so I called. This time they called before they came out and were there for ten minutes to fix it a week later. On Nov 16, we had another rain and I don't know what they did but it is ten times worse than before. It is leaking so bad I might as well not even have a cover. I called and they are blowing me off. They said they called me last week to come out on my cell and home phone but I have no messages and nothing on the caller ID. It hasn't rained again and I was patiently waiting before it did but now it may be another week before they can come out. I am worried it might never be corrected. I have pictures of the first leak, video of the second, and pictures of the third.

I'm going to post an example:

Say, a guy cheats on his wife. She has evidance on this cheating, pictures/video/whatever have you, and she destroys his car. Smashes it up, whatever.

If the guy were to sue for damages, could the woman plee temporary insanity and win the case?

Also, could she sue for mental enguish and win?

Someone is trying to tell me I'm wrong here. I'm highly into law and court and I know its almost highly impossible for the woman to get off by saying she was temporarily insane in an instance like this.

Thanks if you can help.
