Legal consequences of a cheque case in a rental matter
0
Q: My cousin who had taken flats has a criminal case and case filed at the Rental Dispute Centre. The landlord used his guarantee cheques (empty & signed) to file the criminal case.
But the amount is huge and not true because part of that has been paid.
Since he is overstaying because of this case, he plans to surrender to police and hopefully pay a fine or a short jail term, as he is not able to pay the landlord the amount.
Will the amnesty help his situation in reducing the jail term? Is the case filed with Rental Dispute Centre considered a civil case?
What if the case has been forwarded to court with a judgement of a 1-year term, will he serve the term or can just pay a fine?
By the way, the amount of 2 cheques was more than 200k for each cheque. What should he do to solve this problem?
Would really appreciate your prompt response.

Q: I have a rental dispute with my previous landlord of AED 40000 and he went to RDC.
I was still unable to pay him though I negotiated for instalments.
Now, he has presented a bounced cheque too.
What are the legal procedures both criminal and civil in this matter?
If I go to the police and pay the court fine, can all this matter be resolved and the travel ban lifted?

Filing a case for wrongfully encashing a guarantee cheque 0
3 years back I had given a post-dated cheque as a guarantee to a person whom I had to pay the money.
In 3 years time before the due date of the post-dated cheque, I had paid him partially by cash and cheque for which I have his signed vouchers and the PDC cheque details.
He was supposed to return back my PDC on the due date and collect the balance amount that was around AED 4000. The cheque value was AED 115,000.
On the due date, he demanded more money from me and when I refused, he bounced the cheque and filed a cheque bounce case.
He said I gave him a cheque of a closed bank account when he asked the money back and claimed the full amount. I was arrested and had to pay the fine for the cheque bounce case.
With the agreement I have with me and the payment voucher proof, can I sue him back for the false accusation?
And can I claim compensation for spoiling my name and image?

Suing an employer for unpaid loan taken on the name of employee 0
Salam,
I was working in Dubai and I needed a 50k loan from the company. My boss told me to do him a favour and take a 700000 loan from the bank then take 50k.
I said how. He planned everything and deposited 30k salary on my account and verify from HR and accounts.
The bank agent gave me the loan he paid instalments almost for one year and then he terminated me and said don't worry we will pay your loan.
After I came back to Pakistan, they are paying but after 3-4 months like that, the recovery company calls me in Pakistan daily. what can I do?
If I come to Dubai and make a case on my boss, will the bank help me or I have to hire lawyer?

The consequences of resignation in a limited labour contract 0
Dear Sir,
I hope you are doing well.
My neighbour brother went earlier to Dubai for packing work in a hotel for 2 months. Due to the condition of work & not getting a proper salary, he decided to resign from his job.
When he intimated the same to the employer they said he should pay AED 4500 before leaving & his own ticket. He is from a very poor background that's why he came for AED 900 salary.
But he gets actually 750 only without food. Need your kind support to help him to come back to India.
