Constitutional, commercial, civil and criminal litigation before the Supreme Court of India, the High Courts and the District Courts of the Republic. Trial-court strategy, appellate practice and constitutional remedies under one roof.
Litigation is the firm's foundation. The practice spans the full hierarchy of Indian courts — from the District Courts of every Indian state to the Supreme Court of India at Tilak Marg. The work covers constitutional remedies, commercial disputes, civil suits, criminal trials and appellate proceedings, with mandates that cross between forums and statutes.
The firm represents domestic and international enterprises, financial institutions, public-sector undertakings, family-owned businesses and individuals in matters that demand procedural precision and substantive depth. Each litigation engagement begins with a documentary review and a forum-strategy note before pleadings are committed to paper.
A pleading that misreads the forum has lost the matter before the bench reads it.
Writ petitions, SLPs, transfer petitions, curative petitions and constitutional references.
Writ jurisdiction, supervisory jurisdiction, Letters Patent Appeals, Section 482 BNSS quashing.
Commercial suits over ₹3 lakh in dispute under the Commercial Courts Act and the CPC (Amendment) Act 2018.
Money suits, declaration, partition, specific performance, injunction, recovery and execution.
Trial-court representation, bail strategy, charge framing, examination of witnesses and revision.
First Appeals, Second Appeals, Letters Patent Appeals and Special Leave to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court practice covers four principal categories of work. Article 136 Special Leave Petitions against orders of the High Courts and tribunals form the largest share. Article 32 writ petitions are pursued in matters of fundamental-rights enforcement that cannot be remedied below. Transfer petitions under Article 139A move proceedings between High Courts where consolidation serves the ends of justice. Curative petitions are filed in the narrow circumstances permitted by Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Ashok Hurra.
Drafting at the Supreme Court is unforgiving. The synopsis must summarise the case, the questions of law must be precisely framed, the grounds must be numbered to the order under challenge, and the prayer must align with the relief that the Court can in fact grant. The firm's drafting is reviewed against the Supreme Court Rules, 2013 and the Practice Directions before filing.
The firm appears regularly before the Delhi High Court and has appeared before the Bombay, Karnataka, Punjab & Haryana, Rajasthan, Allahabad, Gujarat, Patna and Chhattisgarh High Courts. The work covers the full High Court docket — Original Side commercial suits, writ proceedings, criminal revisions, appeals from tribunals, Section 482 BNSS quashing, contempt proceedings and Letters Patent Appeals before Division Benches.
The firm's Delhi High Court practice is anchored at the principal office. Mandates outside Delhi are co-ordinated from the relevant associate office or, where the matter merits, conducted by way of a travelling brief from New Delhi.
The Commercial Courts Act, 2015, read with the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act 2018, has reshaped commercial dispute resolution in India. Pleadings must be supported by documents on filing, written statements are time-bound, case-management hearings are structured, and summary judgment under Order XIII-A is a meaningful remedy.
The firm's commercial-suits practice covers contractual disputes, recovery suits, construction and EPC disputes, distribution and franchise disputes, joint-venture disputes and shareholder disputes. The pleadings discipline required by the 2015 Act — facts, documents, witness lists, statement of admissions and denials, all front-loaded — is integral to the work.
Beyond commercial suits, the firm conducts civil litigation across the spectrum: declaration suits, partition suits, specific-performance suits, suits for recovery of money under Order XXXVII, injunction proceedings under Order XXXIX, suits for ejectment, and execution proceedings under Order XXI. Civil litigation in India remains heavily document-driven and requires careful pleading of cause of action, valuation, jurisdiction and limitation.
The firm's criminal practice covers the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, the Indian Evidence Act (now Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam), the Negotiable Instruments Act 1881 (Section 138 cheque dishonour), the SC/ST Act and special-statute prosecutions. The work begins at the bail stage and continues through committal, charge framing, trial, examination-in-chief and cross-examination, final arguments and appeal. Quashing petitions under Section 482 BNSS / 528 BNSS are pursued where the FIR is liable to be set aside on the grounds laid down in State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal.
Appellate practice differs from trial practice. The record is fixed, the questions are narrower, the bench is usually two judges or more, and the standard of review is structured. The firm's appellate work covers First Appeals on questions of fact and law, Second Appeals on substantial questions of law under Section 100 CPC, criminal appeals under Section 415 BNSS, Letters Patent Appeals to Division Benches of the High Courts, and Special Leave Petitions to the Supreme Court.
Trial decides the facts. Appeal decides the law. The firm prepares for both from day one.
