Q: Dear sir/madam, My company has asked to visit the police station as they tried to cancel my visa but there is some case at the police station. I don't have any clue but they told me it is a tazweer case and the company asked me to visit the police station. What should I do to get details of the matter itself?

Q: Hi All, I was called by the prosecution for an investigation. They said they would call back later to update me. It is a criminal case. How long will we have to wait for the update?

Q: Dear Lawyer, A company in Jebel Ali filed a case of fraud at Police station. The company asked me to pay a certain amount after adjusting against my final dues. I paid and cleared. Later on, they started blackmailing me by asking me to pay the legal costs incurred by the company. Then I complained to the Ministry of Labor saying that my passport is held by the employer. Now the Police station has transferred the case to the public prosecutor along with my passport on 10th of April. I need to know how long will it take for the hearing to happen (waiting for the call from the Dubai Court) and secondly can the employer withdraw the case when it is with public prosecution? If yes how? Please advise. Regards, Francis

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I want to withdraw a case against someone who harassed me. She has now been arrested and held at the police station for 4 days. How can I withdraw the case so she can be released?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I would like to seek assistance regarding the current status of my case. My case has been transferred from Dubai Police to the Public Prosecution. However, before that, the other party withdrew the case at the notary. All documents were submitted along with the case and to the Public Prosecution. Kindly let me know if I need to follow up with them or what the next step is. The case status is showing as "under investigation" in the Public Prosecution.

Q: Dear Lawyers, After withdrawing the case and submitting the notarized withdrawal letter to the police station, I received a call from the station stating that I need to visit the prosecution office. What is the purpose of this visit? Is it to provide me with a letter stating that the travel ban is lifted? Is the other party who filed the complaint against me also required to be present at the prosecution office?

Q: Assalam Alaikum, Sir! The person who filed a case against me has withdrawn it. The police are now communicating that my case has gone to public prosecution. What should I do next? What will happen now?
