Q: FORGED SIGNATURE ON LABOUR CANCELLATION
The labour card/work permit of my friend was cancelled without his knowledge. He learnt that he was cancelled when he checked in Tasheel Centre.
This is very clear that his employer forged his signature on the Labour Cancellation Application.
How to file a complaint and where he will report it, directly to the police or through MOHRE?

Suing a company for forging a contract and registering an employee in MOHRE fraudulently

3
Q: Dear Sir,
A company has presented me with an unlimited MOL job letter starting from serial number ST............. and that has been signed by me and sent over email to the company.
Someone from the company has typed a limited MOL contract starting from serial number MB......... and in this contract, he cropped my signature and pasted it in the limited contract fraudulently and submitted it to MOHRE and accordingly to that fraudulent contract, MOHRE has registered me with a limited contract.
So practically this contract is a fraudulent contract.
I want to know, if I file a case against the company for registering a contract fraudulently, then what will be the legal liability on the company and what benefits will be provided to me?
Thank You!

ماهية الإستشارة القانونية 0
إن الاستشارات القانونية هي أحد أهم أعمال المحاماة، وقد يعتقد البعض أنه ليس من الضروري تعيين محامي متخصص لأعمالهم أو شركاتهم إلا في حال التعرض لمشاكل قانونية، إلا أن حقيق الأمر تتطلب الحذر دائمًا، فبدلًا من أن تواجه ردود أفعال غير مرغوب فيها قد تكلفك الكثير من الوقت والجهد والمال، يمكنك الحصول على استشارة قانونية أياً كانت قيمتها فلا تقارن بقيمة الخسائر المادية والمشاكل القانونية التي قد تنتج عن التصرف بدونها، ولعل كثرة القضايا والمنازعات سببها عدم أخذ الرأي القانوني من أهل الخبرة.

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.
