Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1. Did you enter into a written contract with him? I suppose not.
2. If there was no contract between you and him then you have no case against him as he will never agree on his own accord to your allegations.
3. Even otherwise you have no time for court cases, so forget it.
1. If you have no time for court cases then only thing you can do is to forget this issue.
2. Do note that you have come here only for legal advice and we are no way connected to retrieve your lost data.
3. SO if you want advice on legal recourse then we would be happy to provide.

You should cross check with your sister apartment guard whether hard disk was given to him or not
2) were any instructions given by your sister to hand over hard disk to security guard ?
3)you can file case against wedding photographer and claim compensation for mental torture undergone by you
You can serve a legal notice to the photographer for the deficiency of the services and can seek compensation from him in case he fails to compensate you, you need to file a consumer complaint seeking compensation from Photographer.
You can engage an Advocate he shall proceed with the case.
1) Now, you can check with him if he had taken google backup or other way of backup.
2) Get face to face cross check in whose hand he had given harddisk of guard.
3) For this you can ask compensation from him that loss you have suffered.
Dear Sir,
You are advise to issue legal notice for criminal breach of trust and thereafter file a criminal complaint against him and also file criminal complaint against him and also file consumer case with documentary evidence. Please initiate legal action immediately
A legal notice should be sent to him and in case he does not respond then file a complaint against him in the consumer protection forum.
I dont think that without recourse to the law you can punish him as that is the only way which his legal although takes time.
Regards
as you have no time for court cases then why are you asking your query on the legal forum?
Forget..........
i have pdf of contract. emails and watsapp chat history with me. he is instead threatning us that he will sue us for harrassmen. if i go to cosumer court then how long it takes to close the matter?? how many hearings take place in a month??
It will take some time. Normally a hearing a month is the norm. The next may also come after 2 months too. But once you file a complaint your lawyer will take care of everything. You dont have to be present.
Regards
cases before consumer forum take 2 years to be disposed of
you would get hearing dates once in two months or so
Dear SIr,
-Having shared that you have PDF of Contract and other valid proofs for deliverable, you can send him legal notice and file suit for damages.
- You can approach to the consumer court and by providing all the facts, it will take 2-3 hearing to close the matter
- It is not necessary that you have to be present in every hearing at Consumer Court however under Consumer Act there is provision to get your per-diem (day salary if you take off from office to attend the proceedings) to compensation.
- Under Consumer act, it is not necessary to hire lawyer. You can represent your case by yourself. Besides, advisable to hire a lawyer for better guidance step-wise
- Giving hard-disk to gaurd without any written handover copy shall not stand in court if you have contract in place.
- Rest shall advise to take out the time for proceedings as it is clearly breach of trust.

1) If you make complaint online check how many cases are pending before your complaint. It may take 6 months to 12 months.
Consumer court is the best option. It will be soon settled in Consumer court. The case can go from 6 months to 1 year sometimes. Exact period can't be estimated
You can file a complaint to district consumer forum under DEFEINCY OF SERVICE and claim compensation.
On an average it takes about 3–5 years
See consumer court matter can take 2-3 years. Generally one or hearing a month take place.
sir, first of all, do you have time to visit court?
if yes, usually a consumer case took 15-20 hearings and it is not mandatory to present on every hearing, your advocate will take care of the case,
This matter do not come under the jurisdiction of the consumer court because you do not have a written contract between you and the photographer so don't go this way, you go by way of IPC and CrPC so file a complaint against the photographer and during the investigation put all the facts.
Send him a legal notice first, and seek a duplicate copy of photos, or damages in lieu thereof.
If the issue is not resolved despite your legal notice, fit case to approach the consumer Court.
About one hearing in 2 months/
The case may take a couple of hearings to get decided.
If you want to solve this issue legally then you may have to spare time to file a consumer case against the photographer seeking compensation for the deficiency in service.
If you cannot spare time then issue a legal notice and wait for his reaction and if it is not feasible then you may have to ignore the same.
The conduct of consumer court and the disposal of the case before it will depend on the court and place where it is being conducted.
In some places the consumer cases get disposed very fast and in some places it takes more than 5 years also owing to various factors involved in it and primarily being non-availability of a regular judge or a regular member.
- As per the law, the photographer is bound to delive the contents in completed form.
- If, the photographer fails to deliver the same to you , he has to compensated for the same.
- If, he is not showing you any sufficient proof for the delivery of the contents , then you have right to take legal action against him.
- you should send him a notice against his services and also lodged a complaint to the polce for his threatening .
- If the photographer not response you within 14 days of time , then you should file a complaint before the consumer court of your juridiction for the said services and compensation as well.
- Your presence before the court is not mandatory , take help from any person or lawyer.
Good luck and dont forget to positive rating.
Dear Sir,
Every consumer court has its own way of dealing with cases. For example, the Chandigarh Consumer Court is fast. It wraps up full cases in less than 2 years. 1.5 years is good time.
The Punjab Consumer Court takes more than 2 years in a normal consumer trial. If it’s complicated (like if the evidence of an independent expert is required), 3 years is normal.
The National Consumer Courts (Delhi) give adjournments ranging upto 6 months. So you can imagine the number of years one case will take to come full circle.
