Registering an execution case after winning a payment order 0
I need to register an execution case since I won a payment order (Amr Ada) Case.
A) Is there a special format to use when registering the execution case file? or can I type in my words in the online process for smart case registration?
B) What is the cost of the execution for the Amr Ada case? I need to claim that amount as part of my total, but I don't know how much this will cost me? Is it a fixed cost or is it a percentage of the executed amount?
C) The honorable court had earlier decided to give me a fee postponement of Amr Ada court fees since I am 80 years old. Then the respondent lost the Amr Ada lawsuit and he will have to pay the court fees.
Will I have to pay for the execution case filing? Or the letter I got for court fee postponement will apply to the execution case as well?
Thank you!

Filing a false case against an employee in order not to pay his dues 0
Sir,
I am working in Dubai as a sales representative with 1000 as basic salary in the contract. I submit my resignation on 15/09/2020 with 30 days notice period.
The company asked me to hand over the job on 01/10/2020. I handed over the company car, SIM, and laptop. On 11/10/2020, the company filed a case against me that I deleted all company emails.
They filed a case in labor court. They don't want to pay me September month salary + 6 years final settlement +1 year leave salary. Also, They don't want me to join a competitor company.
That's why they filed the case. I do not have money for food. My 4 member family in India depends only on my salary. I don't know what to do.
Please help me!
