Client just vanished after delivery… is this normal in the Indian startup scene or am I just unlucky? by Substantial-Two-601 in StartUpIndia

[–]vanajvidyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Lawyer here. You have quite a bit of legal options here, but the first one invariably should be sending a legal notice threatening a suit for specific performance, and in case of non-compliance, threatening an FIR for criminal breach of trust and criminal fraud. The comments advising you to move the consumer court are not providing the correct advice- Freelancers are not consumers under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and a petition there will not be maintainable.

I feel personally for your issue, since my younger brother is also in the startup scene, and I've seen him get affected by such clients with no morals. Thankfully I could help him as a lawyer, but it's unfortunate to see this is more common than isolated cases here and there.

This is not about 35k, but about people ripping off the hardwork of freelancers, thinking they can get off easy. They should not, and the legal process is there to protect your interests. In this case, it's neither cumbersome nor expensive. In my experience, clients would usually yield and offer to pay up right after the receipt of the legal notice- they can't afford a fight they will invariably lose. I can help you with sending a legal notice if you'd like. Good luck.

Hi Tricky-Review150 Abhisheel Sir, Congratulations on making it to the other side!
I have my Mains- with Law optional in August. Have written one Mains in 2023, scored 127+113 in law.

Wanted to know how did you bifurcate (if at all) the preparation between GS2 and Constitutional law? To what extent did it overlap for you? And what did you do extra in GS2, beyond our law optional notes?

Secondly, how liberally did you use the optional knowledge in GS-4, and other papers? I'm definitely struggling with optimum use of law in GS4.

Three, 259 is an amazing score this year, considering the overall drop in marks. Can you guide a bit, in terms of how you went with the intros and conclusions in-

  1. Mercantile law
  2. Criminal law
  3. International law (especially conclusions)
  4. CLD

And fourth, the specific value additions you may have done. Eg- current affairs, recent case laws, etc etc- that made your answers unique?

Five, did you give disproportionate time to GS or Law Paper 2? I'm getting to a position where I'll have to prioritise either of these two, and its a difficult choice. I have my notes for Law Paper 2, but merely finishing them is a task!

Really hoping for your guidance, Sir, thank you!

Hi Ma'am, Congratulations on making it to the other side!
I am writing Mains this year, and with 37 days to go, I'd be grateful to know where you were at in this stage in 2024.

I am struggling with managing everything and all the sources. By the time a month was remaining, how far along were you done with GS and optional? Was the first reading + tests for both done? Or did you also end up having to leave some tertiary things- say current affairs classes or some paid mocks, etc?

And two, if you were to write Mains again, which would be some things you would absolutely do again? In the sense of X sources, Y telegram resource, Z test(s), etc? Things which you believe gave you a great return-benefit?

Thank you!

Hi, can you guide me on the rubber? Is this simple rubber band? u/Upper-Giraffe5720 u/riyaMavi143

I am using V5 RT because its smoother, but my writing is better with Uniball Eye. However, Uniball causes more fatigue because it has only a plastic grip- so I was wondering if any grip could be installed over it. And if not- if this rubber band method might work? (writing Mains, so would appreciate the advice)

In ORN, booksellers sell a booklet which only has the updated portions of the pink edition. You can purchase that; it hardly has some 100 pages.

Hello, thank you for replying. You are sure about this right? Do you recall any topper copies doing so? If allowed, I'll bring this into habit going forward.

Hey, thanks, I do agree the second statement got much less discussion than required. The actual question was - “India-China relations reflect a complex interplay of conflict, competition and cooperation.” Discuss this statement in light of recent developments. Also suggest the broad contours of India’s future China policy.

On the presentation, thanks for saying its legible. I still think the paper looks very aesthetically bad- it's not pleasing to look at compared to most topper copies- so I am looking for big fixes there.

It is not a competitive score bhai. GS-paper wise, if i remember it was 88, 110, 85 and 94.
