How to find a missing person?
32
Q: Good day,
My workmate was missing 2 days now. We track his flat and check his whereabouts and found out he was last seen at a billiards place near his house.
Two guys from the billiards place informed us that he and 3 more (2 guys and 1 lady) was taken by the CID. We went through the police station in Al Murraqabat and the police there said that his name is clear and he is not detained or jailed.
How can we find him now?

View allAssistance with clearing a police case and lifting a travel ban in the UAE 0
Good day!
I have rental disputes and got a settlement plan 8 months ago.
But I did not pay the settlement because at the moment of applying for the settlement plan, I had a job offer and lost it because of the travel ban and the visa could not be processed.
I have another personal police case where I already paid an amount of 18,000 and the claim was 40,000 dirhams. Now that I did not continue paying, the plaintiff put the case again.
I have another offer letter now and I want to get a clearance certificate within 48 hrs, or else I might lose this job as well.
Kindly advise

I bought a new vehicle from the dealership with a hidden defect. What can I do? 0
I bought a new vehicle from the dealership [-----] and after 5 min of using the car, an alert popped up. Less than 24h later I informed the dealers of the issue.
After struggling with them about it, I finally brought the car to service at their company and they have confirmed the part needs to be fully changed.
I’m telling them I cannot accept a faulty car and demand either a refund or another vehicle. So far they’ve been less than cooperative.

How to know the judgment when the portal says "decided"? 0
Dear sir/madam,
There is a case against me in a commercial, full-jurisdiction court. Sorry if I'm getting this wrong. I have not participated in the case and on the advice of my UK lawyers, I have not been represented there in Dubai.
Upon checking the portal, it says a judgment was reached yesterday, but I can't see further details. So my questions are:
1) Do judgments happen behind closed doors or in front of the lawyers? (the plaintiffs have lawyers)
2) How long does it usually take for the verdict to be public and for me to see the outcome of the case?
The only thing it says online is the word "decided".

Getting deported from the UAE while the medical checkups are good. What to do? 0
Hi there,
I got deported from the UAE for failing medical but when I reached my country, I have done several medical checkups but everything is OK; HIV negative, no hepatitis B, etc.
I don't know if there was a mistake or a misfortune for me. I am wondering if they can allow me to come back to Dubai.

Is it mandatory to visit the CID in person to update my records? 0
Respected Advisors,
I have been involved in a few criminal cases since 2017, but all of them were cleared by this year. I have obtained release letters for all the cases from the public prosecution office through an online portal.
Recently, I also received my residence visa. After the visa process was completed, I applied for a PCC online. However, the request was rejected.
I contacted the 901 office, and they advised me to visit the CID. I arranged for a power of attorney to be granted along with all the necessary documents to update the system.
Twice I was told to come in person, but I am hesitant to do so because of my previous negative experience.
Could someone please advise me whether I must go in person or if the person holding the power of attorney can handle the process?
Thank you!
