My friend is a separated person and his divorce petition in the Court is yet to be decided. He works in a public sector firm in India. As per the rules of the nomination of Gratuity and Provident Fund, the nominee should be his spouse or child or a legally adopted child. He has no children. Wife has deserted him and his sister is looking after him. He wants to nominate his sister . Is this possible? In case he executes a will, is that binding on the public sector company?

hi - on April 15th 2003 my wife became critically ill due to a medical mistake - she was in septic shock, DIC, lung failure (ARDS), kidney failure, etc. Miraculously she survived, I believe she's one of 2 people who have survived this, but she never really recovered from the ARDS and she died June 18 2006 - We didn't file malpractice at the time because - we couldn't get a lawyer to take the case. If she would have been wealthy then we could have. I think it can be proven that her death and the ARDS were related and now that is been several years later, do I still have the possibility for a case? Now that she's dead?

Lets say "hypothetically" you murder someone at your house, and you lay the body in cement mix and let it get buried with the "new sidewalk". Will it go unnoticed and have no odor?

President Bush signed into law a ban on partial birth abortion a few years ago. Some say that this measure is headed towards Congress outlawing abortion altogether. Some states are already trying to outlaw it as we speak. This could be scary for every woman out there. They will try to take away your choice for a necessary abortion. A woman should be able to get an abortion whenever she wants for whatever reason. No one has the right to tell her what to do with her body. Abortion is legal and should stay that way. I've seen all the abortion pictures and honestly, my views haven't changed. If a woman wants to do it, then she should not hesitate. In these times, abortion is necessary. It will be a sad day in America when abortion is outlawed. Then women will have to go back to the old coat hanger method. Why force women to do it illegally when you could just keep it legal? Ya know, everyone doesn't want kids. I know I don't. I like the idea of uninterrupted sleep, spending my money on me!

What does it mean to be "LEGAL" at 18 anyway?

Anywaysss it my mind it makes it seem like since they call it, "Legal", that 18 means your "legally an adult now"....

BUT i think it Too Young, thats like FRESH OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL, most 18 yr olds r immature still anyway! why not keep it 21 years old or at least 20? i dont get it

Why do some legal dictionaries (and also Wikipedia) define "subpoena" as either an order for a deposition/testimony or an order for deposition/testimony with production of documents ("subpoena duces tecum")? Can't a subpoena be just for production of documents without a deposition/testimony?

Hey guys. I wanna know how churches lost their exclusive right to marry couples as well as what it took for the State to begin marrying couples. Specifically, I'm looking for influences on American civics and culture, but any precursors to American efforts to separate church and state with the ceremony and legality of marriage is fine.

My argument deals with how gay and lesbian couples shouldn't be allowed to get married because I don't believe the State should be allowed to marry couples.

Thx guys!

Ok...I DO NOT agree that gay marriage should be illegal in the U.S., but I was chosen the topic in my class (I HAD NO CHOICE) and I have to explain why it should... So I need ideas. Why should gay marriage be illegal?!

As I was filling out new employee information for a new job, I came across a form titled, "Nondisclosure Agreement." This agreement states that an employee may not "duplicate, disclose, or use in any other manner" "confidential information" which "may include but not be limited to information concerning (Business) business methods and practices, personnel, customers....." "In the event of any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available, (Business) may seek and obtain injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach without proof of actual damages..." What shocks me the most about this document is that it seemingly allows the employer to press charges on an employee who publicly discusses unethical business practices. Is this not a blatant violation of the First Amendment? Please state any credentials (i.e. attorney) and please say whether or not this document has any legal legitimacy in the state of NY.

My father signed a contract a couple of years ago to take out some furniture . My father has wide angle glaucoma and cannot see but just signed the best he could where they told him to. Now the person he cosigned with pulled out some furniture under that same account and the contract supposedly stated that they do not need to give him prior notice beforehand when there is an account change. My father had no way of knowing this and now we are slammed by bills for furniture we dont own or have owned. Will my dad be held accountable for his signature even though it was well known he was disabled at the time of signing, and that he wasn't explained the details of the contract. Thanks for your answers dont quite have lawyer money yet.

Tonight i received a phone call from a buisness claiming that i had bounced a check but i do not have a banking account and never have. He said he had my phone number down for the contact number. Then he proceeded to tell me that if the sheriff shows up at my door i better have proof of who i am. Just wondering if they can base all of this over a phone number??

We have an office "bully" that continuously causes problems, harasses people (not sexually), refuses to do his job and gets away with with it, and has caused several people in our office significant amounts of stress. He has been reported to management over and over again about several different issues but nothing ever gets done about it. What are my rights as far as refusing to go to work and subject myself to that type of environment? I am mentally and emotionally stable but going to work and dealing with this situation is having a negative effect on my emotional well-being as well as my life outside of work. Do I have any options at all or am I just stuck?
