Practical Legal Guidance and Defense Strategies
I am Arvind. Whether you are facing a false case or need clarity on family law, I explain your rights in simple Hindi-English. Here is a look at my approach to handling common legal hurdles.
(Hero Media) I see too many men and their families get trapped by the misuse of laws like Section 498A IPC and the Domestic Violence Act. In this video, I break down how these laws, meant for genuine cases, are sometimes used as weapons. I also explain the Arnesh Kumar judgment by the Supreme Court, which gives clear instructions to the police to not make immediate arrests without proper investigation, and how a Section 41A notice can protect you.
Divorce cases are often filed on grounds of cruelty, and it's not just about physical fights. In this video, I discuss a Delhi High Court judgment where publicly shaming a partner by calling them impotent was considered mental cruelty and a valid ground for divorce. It's a reminder that your private life should stay private, and emotional abuse has serious legal consequences.
When it comes to a child born during a marriage, the law is very clear. The husband is presumed to be the father, and he has a duty to provide maintenance. I explain a recent Supreme Court ruling that states a DNA test cannot be ordered just on the basis of an adultery allegation. The court prioritizes the child's security and the family's stability over mere suspicion.
If you've been falsely implicated in a case, you don't have to wait for years for justice. The new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) has provisions like Section 250 and 262 for discharging your name from a case. I explain how you can file a discharge application with strong evidence within 60 days of the case being filed and potentially get your name cleared quickly.
Having your wife's parents move in can create a lot of stress. While a wife has a right to the matrimonial home, her parents do not. I explain the legal position on this, including how undue interference from relatives can be a ground for legal action under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act for restitution of conjugal rights. Knowing your rights can help you handle these situations peacefully.
A successful day at the Supreme Court of India, where we got all transfer petitions filed against my client dismissed. Fighting for your rights at the highest court in the country requires strategy and persistence. This is what I do for my clients.
You might have heard about Hardik Pandya's divorce and the 70 percent property settlement. I break down the reality of alimony and prenuptial agreements in India. Unlike what you see in movies, there is no fixed formula for alimony; it depends on income, lifestyle, and other factors. Prenups are also not legally valid in India, so it's important to understand the actual law.
About Featured
Most people assume a police notice or a false FIR is the end of the road, but that is rarely true. Under the Supreme Court guidelines in the Arnesh Kumar case, police cannot make an immediate arrest without a proper investigation for offenses like 498A, and many cases can be challenged at the start before they turn into years of court hearings.
My approach centers on simplifying the law so you can make informed decisions rather than panicking. Whether it is a matrimonial dispute or a criminal matter, I focus on evidence and procedure.
Handling False Accusations
Defending families against misuse of law, particularly 498A and domestic violence allegations, is a major part of my work. The law provides specific protections, like the Section 41A notice, which prevents unnecessary arrests. If you have been falsely implicated, my goal is to help you collect the right evidence and use legal provisions to push for quashing FIRs or securing bail early.
Navigating Family Disputes
Divorce and separation are not just about court dates; they are about understanding your rights regarding property, alimony, and custody. Many believe there is a fixed formula for property division or alimony, but the court looks at income and lifestyle. I help you see the reality of your situation, whether it is a contested divorce or handling interference from in-laws.
Understanding New Criminal Laws
The new laws like BNS and BNSS have changed how investigations are conducted and how evidence is submitted. I work to keep you updated on these shifts, so you are not caught off guard by changing procedures. If you have a specific query about a pending case or an upcoming legal step, feel free to reach out. I look at every file with the goal of finding a practical way out.
