Civil & property disputes
Suits for possession, declaration and injunction; partition and family property; specific performance of agreements to sell; landlord–tenant and eviction; easements; execution proceedings.
Representation before the courts and tribunals of Delhi and the National Capital Region — drafting, appearance and argument, conducted by advocates who will tell you what your case is actually worth before you spend on it.
Most people who approach a lawyer want to know three things: do I have a case, how long will it take, and what will it cost. You will get an answer to all three at the first consultation, in writing if you want it.
We would rather lose a brief than take one we cannot win. Where a matter is better settled, mediated or simply abandoned, we will say so — and where it is worth fighting, we will tell you exactly what fighting it looks like: the number of hearings, the likely adjournments, the documents you must produce, and the years it may take.
Suits for possession, declaration and injunction; partition and family property; specific performance of agreements to sell; landlord–tenant and eviction; easements; execution proceedings.
Breach of contract, recovery suits, commercial disputes under the Commercial Courts Act, summary suits, and enforcement of security and guarantees.
Anticipatory and regular bail, quashing petitions, trial defence, criminal revisions and appeals under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the corresponding provisions of the earlier codes.
Complaints and defence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act — statutory notices, complaint drafting, summons stage, and settlement through the court's mediation channels.
Divorce, judicial separation and restitution; maintenance under personal law and Section 144 BNSS; custody and guardianship; domestic violence proceedings; mutual-consent settlements drafted to hold.
Complaints against builders, banks, insurers, hospitals and service providers before the District and State Commissions, including delayed-possession and deficiency-of-service claims.
Wrongful termination, industrial disputes, departmental enquiries, pension and promotion disputes, and writ petitions in service matters.
Writ petitions under Articles 226 and 32 against arbitrary state action, licensing and permission refusals, admission and examination disputes, and public interest litigation where standing is genuine.
Section 9 and Section 11 petitions, conduct of arbitrations, challenges to and enforcement of awards under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, and representation in court-annexed mediation.
Litigation in India is slow and document-heavy. Knowing the shape of it in advance is the difference between a client who is informed and one who is anxious for three years.
You bring the papers; we tell you the cause of action, the correct forum, the limitation position, and our honest view of the outcome.
Where the matter is worth pursuing, a note setting out strategy, the stages, the fee for each, and what we need from you.
Often a properly drafted legal notice resolves the matter. Where it does not, we draft and file the plaint, petition or complaint.
Appearance at every date, with a short written update after each substantive hearing so you never have to ask what happened.
Affidavits, examination and cross-examination, written submissions, and final arguments — with you prepared in advance for your own deposition.
The order explained in plain terms, advice on appeal or execution, and a candid view on whether either is worth it.
Honestly, longer than you hope. A Section 138 complaint may run two to three years; a civil suit for possession, considerably more; a bail application, days. At the assessment we will give you a realistic range for your specific matter and forum rather than a comfortable one.
Set out your structure here — typically a drafting and filing fee, then a per-appearance or per-stage fee, with court fees, process fees and other out-of-pocket expenses billed at actuals. Contingency or percentage-of-recovery arrangements are not permissible for advocates in India, and any practice offering one should be treated with caution.
No. Your presence is required at specific stages — your own evidence, certain criminal appearances, settlement proceedings and where the court directs personal appearance. We will tell you well in advance which dates those are.
Yes, subject to the professional courtesies the Bar Council rules require — including a no-objection from the advocate currently on record. Bring the complete file and the order sheet, and we will tell you frankly whether a change of counsel will help at this stage or merely cost you time.
Yes, and it is the most valuable thing we can do at a first meeting. A weak case pursued for three years costs far more than an uncomfortable half-hour at the outset.
Not always, but it is statutorily required in some matters — a Section 138 complaint, for example, and proceedings against the government under Section 80 of the Civil Procedure Code. Even where it is optional, a well-drafted notice settles a surprising number of disputes without a filing.
Bring the papers. You will leave knowing whether you have a case, what forum it belongs in, and what it will take.
