Proceeding with a labor case after getting a judgment while the sponsor is abroad

Q: Good afternoon all, I opened a labor court case because the company fired me and didn`t pay my settlement or my salaries which are more than 4 months. I have already got a judgment that my sponsor has to pay me. Apparently, he is not in the UAE as his business is in Pune and Mumbai. Also, he did not appear in any of the court hearings. Now, the AI Adheed told me: 1) That I have 45 days to proceed with the cancellation of my Visa and labor card or I will be banned. Is this true? The Visa isn`t valid until the end of the next year and honestly, I would like to take it with me to be able to get a new job in the UAE. 2) I have to proceed with the execution to be sure that the company will pay me. Please assist me, how should I proceed?

مطالبة المستأجر بقيمة إيجار سنتين رغم عدم استخدامه للشقة خلال تلك الفترة

س: السلام عليكم، لدي استشارة قانونية بخصوص إيجار شقة. استأجرت شقة من مالك بناية بعقد لمدة سنة ولم أستطع الوفاء بآخر دفعة وارتد الشيك الخاص بها. طلبت من الشركة المسؤولة عن إيجار الشقة تقسيط الشيك وأبقى في الشقة، رفضت وطلبت مني إخلاء الشقة بدون أخذ أي أغراض منها. أخذت الملابس والأشياء الضرورية وبقيت جميع الأغراض في الشقة. أخبروني أني أستطيع أخذ الأغراض في حال سداد قيمة الشيك. حصلت ظروف واستمر الحال لأكثر من سنة ولم يتصل بي أي شخص من قبل الشركة إلا بعد سنتين تقريبًا بحجة عدم مقدرتهم على التواصل معي. الآن يطالبونني بسداد قيمة الإيجار عن سنتين! علمًا بأنني لم أسكن في الشقة طيلة هذه الفترة. ما الحل؟ لدي ما يثبت أنني لم أشغل الشقة؛ مثل فاتورة الكهرباء التي لا يوجد فيها أي مبلغ لأنها لم تستخدم منذ ذلك الوقت. طلب مني المكتب إخلاء الشقة من الأغراض، ولكني أخشى حين أخلي الشقة الآن أن يكون ذلك بمثابة إثبات أني كنت أستخدمها! أفيدوني باستشارتكم. لكم مني جزيل الشكر!

Right action after the failure of settlement with the bank

Q: Good Day. I would like to ask for some advice regarding my case. I haven`t been able to pay my bank loan before because I lost my job. I was not able to pay my bank loan for 3 months because I don`t have the money yet. But then the bank filed a police case against me for a bounced cheque. I got in jail, paid police fine and got cleared from the police case, then had a court hearing scheduled on 23/12/2019. After paying the police fine, I contacted the bank and I paid an amount of AED 2525 for the accumulated instalment amount that I haven`t paid plus a legal fee of AED 475. But I still have a remaining amount to settle and submitted the requirements for deferment and they will withdraw the court case. After a couple of weeks, the bank informed me that the request was rejected. So I don`t know what I will do from here on. I still have a court case. Please advise as I am already stressed out about this. I am not running away from my obligations but the bank doesn`t understand my current situation. Please help me.
