Criminal case and claiming passport from the police to renew visa
5
Q: Dear Madam,
I have a criminal case against me in Al Bhuhairah Police Station. I came from India on Feb 12. They stopped me in immigration and told me that I have a police case against me.
Then they took me to the police station. After that, I kept my passport at the police station and went out. Now, the problem is I went to Sharjah court on March 15 and put a request to transfer my file to the court.
But till now, they didn't transfer my file. I went to the court and police station many times but no use. Now, my visa is going to expire soon. How can I solve this problem?
Please tell me. I got selected for an interview, but without clearing the case, I wouldn't get the new visa. Please tell me if there's an option to clear the case as soon as possible. My visa expires on May 10.

Hello,
How can I file a counter-complaint against a person who made a false report about me for public cursing, which I never did?
He made the complaint about three months after we last met. I now have a case because of it, but I never said any bad words to him.
I was stopped at the airport because of that.

How to file an online defamation case from the Philippines against someone in Dubai? 0
Hello,
I'm currently looking for legal advice regarding an online defamation case. I am a Filipino citizen currently residing in the Philippines. The person I want to file a complaint against is also a Filipino citizen and is currently based in Dubai.
I have already sought legal consultation, but it cost me a lot for just a simple session. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can afford to proceed with the fees required for sending a warning or demand letter to the person I’m complaining about.
I would really appreciate any help, guidance, or information about possible free or low-cost legal services.
Thank you for your time!

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

I purchased an apartment, but the previous landlord refuses to vacate. What to do? 0
Hello,
I bought an apartment, but the previous landlord is refusing to vacate it. The contract clearly states that the landlord should hand over the apartment on the day of the transfer.
Out of courtesy, I gave him three days to vacate so he could find a new place to stay, but the time has passed, and he is still refusing to vacate and hand it over.
What should I do in this case?
