Can I recover money without travelling or hiring lawyer?

What can I do to make him repay me? If I go to court, do I have to be physically present? I live in Kolkata and he lives in Mumbai, so I cannot travel. Is hiring a lawyer necessary, or is filing a police complaint enough? Will WhatsApp messages and Google Pay transactions serve as valid proof?

Yes, you can file a civil recovery suit. If you are in Kolkata and he's in Mumbai, your lawyer can handle the case without your regular presence. WhatsApp chats and GPay records are valid supporting evidence. A lawyer is recommended to file properly and represent you in court. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
