A friend is fined due to drinking beer in the car. Can he get a PPC?


2
Q: Hello,
One of my non-Muslim friends had a minor accident while changing lanes inside the city and both the parties were fined and the issue was resolved.
Then later he had a flat tire on the highway in Abu Dhabi. He called for the pick-up truck and as he was waiting for help and it was getting delayed for like 3 hours, he consumed one beer in the car and slept off.
The police woke him up and took him to the detention center and kept him for 3 days. They took a fine of 20000 and left him. They said he will be notified and he has to appear in court.
He is not sure what case is registered and how serious the issue is. What is the solution? Will he be able to get PCC later?

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 0
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.
