Checking status for resigning while on vacation with a pending loan
0
Q: Hi,
I hope you can help me with this.
Last November 2016 I went on vacation for a month but my father got sick and I didn't come back.
I sent a resignation letter to my manager but never heard a reply from him. My visa expired last March 2017. Now, I am planning to be back in Dubai.
How can I check if there is any police case that was filed against me because I have left a loan from my company? I have no longer contact with them.

Cancellation of employment visa when there are pending cases

Q: Hello Team
I just finished two years in my job and at the time of cancellation, I came to know that there are a couple of cases.
Now the company wants to do an absconding case as they said they are not able to cancel the visa.
Is there any solution with the employer instead of going the absconding route?
Thanks.

Filing a case against husband by a non-Muslim wife for adultery 0
I am a non-Muslim Indian woman. I discovered that my husband is having an affair with another woman. I know it is a criminal offense in the UAE and I want to know about the punishment for such an offense.
I would also like to know what kind of evidence is required to file a criminal case?
We both share the same laptop at home and the screen was not clear so I took a backup of the pictures where I have my marriage pictures and also my daughter's pictures. In that, I have found an adultery video of my husband with a woman, close pictures, and some messages.
Once I spoke to him about it, he broke the laptop but I have those pictures with me.
Please help me!

Ensuring that the employee will not approach the clients after leaving 0
I have a small company of 4 people. One of my oldest staff who has worked for 11 years is leaving. He handles 80% of my clients and work.
Without proof, I know he is going to open his firm. I don't want to harm him but I want to secure my clients. Is it legally okay for me to make him sign a contract that he cannot approach my clients in the near future?
If yes, then what will be the procedure?
Do I have to go to the notary to make this contract valid?
