What legal steps can I take to recover loaned money?
I loaned money to my brother in law few years back. When I ask back the money he is threatening me of assault. I have no proof for lending money. I am out of country. What should I do now?
To avoid prolonged litigation, you can choose for the mediation or arbitration for the resolution of the issue. Gather the evidences such as bank statements, witness testimony and the electronic evidence such as text messages, call recordings to file a civil suit for the recovery of money under Order 37 of CPC. If the threat of assault continues, file a police complaint through your trusted family member on behalf of you in India under Section 503 and 506 of IPC (criminal intimidation).
If your brother-in-law threatens you immediately after asking him to repay a loan, you have to take a few very concrete steps. Start by documenting communications: all the threats he has threatened you with. Then seek legal advice from a lawyer who knows about international law; you are currently abroad. Inform the local authorities that are in your neighborhood of your threats, and mediation through a neutral party should be considered to bring it to an amicable solution. Finally, in case he posed a threat, ensure you avoided confrontation with him.
Sir, despite multiple request if your brother in law does not return your money then you may consider sending a legal notice with the help of an expert lawyer who will assist you in filing a civil case in court of law. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
