Hello
I want to apply for my fathers visit visa for 2 months. He had travelled to UK before on this visa. Now he has case going on in Indian judiciary for family land dispute. The case is not started yet but uncertain when it will start. Do you think while applying for visa in the form I should mention 'Yes' for 'Arrest or charge, for which you are currently or awaiting trial.'? Actually he never arrested or charged. But there is land dispute going on.
If yes, Will it get his visa refused?
Please guide me.
Thanks

Hello
Land dispute is a civil mater. It's not a criminal mater that could lead to anyone being arrested and jailed.
So as long as we talking about 100% civil mater, it doesn't need to be put forward.
Civil maters happen when 2 individuals or more don't agree about a business, property or other stuff and bring it in front of a court to get it settled there.

If that wont be initiated at the time of application then it will be totally irrelevant.

Do not ever tell anything like that in the application form. Not even while dreaming. A big NO for any future uk visa or other country, As they think he will claim asylum when entre to their country. Even though your intention r not to claim asylum but they will make the decision on "BALANCE OF PROBABILITIES".

Not sure about present version of online visitor form but in past on many application forms there used to be a very pacific question whether is there any court proceeding without distinguishing whether on criminal or civil grounds. And if that is not disclosed then it may lead to deception.
