Deportation for communicable diseases such as TB
23
Q: I am N.R. and I was working in the UAE as a staff nurse in a hospital in Dubai. Now, I am in India due to deportation from the UAE. I joined the hospital on Aug 4 and went for a medical clearance.
After a few days, they called me for repeating the medical as my X-ray shows patch. I went for the medical at al Mohaisanah but they didn't take the X-ray. Directly, they asked me for sputum examination for three days and PPD test.
I spoke with the doctor that I got pneumonia in 2013. He told me to check the sputum and PPD test. I've done this and the result came negative.
However, after a few days, I got a report as an old TB and they deported me to India. I checked in India but all the reports are negative and I lost my job.
I need to go back to the UAE as my husband is there. Can you please suggest a solution for this?

Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?

A hair salon caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. What can I do to sue them? 0
I’m looking for legal advice regarding a hair salon incident that caused serious damage to my hair and scalp.
I visited a salon for a colouring treatment, during which two rounds of bleach, which is not what I booked in for, were given to me without proper approvals, and were applied back-to-back without a strand test or proper consultation.
As a result, I’ve been experiencing extreme hair breakage, daily hair loss, and ongoing scalp irritation. This has been especially distressing as I’m currently pregnant.
It’s now been over 20 days since the incident, and despite multiple polite follow-ups, the salon has ignored all communication.
I’m now exploring legal action to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused. I have full documentation, messages, and photos.
Any guidance on the best next steps or legal routes I can take would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
