not true. A good lawyer is very useful. And its not just 4 lacs. He already have to pay 3.5 l more debt. Plus loan he personally lent. But biggest issue is he has involved op with other people. He needs lawyer to make sure court doesn't find him co conspirator later. His exposure is pretty high. These fin crimes gets reported to cibil. After that bye bye birdie.
Limit is just 50k bot 7L.
This is also not true. Here bank/loan issuer isn't liable but he can make his friend liable. In case of default, bank will sue OP but OP can Sue his friend. Also there are many technicalities coercion, false promise, was the funds intended for a specific purpose. Only a lawyer can go through the documents and come up with right strategy.
This is illegal. Unless he is connected , he will be deeper hole.
This is why
@Kumar93196 you need an expert. Not just any lawyer. Someone who deals with such cases. Also a local guy(contact matters).
Even though law doesn't restrict lawyer to practise a particular type of case, they themselves put this restrictions to build core competency, contacts, & to be a expert in one particular field.
A good lawyer & ca is worth their fee, just like a good mechanic/electrician/plumber or a consultant.
