Legal Articles
Q1. After marrying under the Christian Marriage Act with a marriage certificate from Mantralaya, is a name-change affidavit still needed to update Aadhaar and PAN cards, or does the certificate alone suffice?
Advocate Jessy Richard Payne answered:
An affidavit needs to be prepared and submitted at the time of applying for the name change, along with address proof and ID proof documents. The marriage certificate alone will not be sufficient.
Q2. A friend was given Rs. 4 lakh against a notarized agreement and issued cheques, which are expected to bounce since he has no property. What happens if a case is filed after the cheque bounces?
Advocate Jessy Richard Payne answered:
Deposit the cheque, and if it bounces, send a legal notice through a lawyer. If the amount is still not returned, a case can be filed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, or under Sections 417 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code.
Q3. Does a valid will require a doctor’s fitness certificate for the person making it, and is registering a will compulsory?
Advocate Jessy Richard Payne answered:
Yes, a doctor’s certificate is generally required at the time of making a will, since its absence can allow the will to be challenged on grounds of mental fitness. Registering a will is not compulsory, though a registered will carries its own advantages.
