The Firm’s civil law practice covers the everyday backbone of civil litigation — recovering money that is owed, protecting rights and property through injunctions, and enforcing or resisting contractual obligations before the civil courts.
In recovery and injunction matters, timing often matters as much as merit — an asset can be sold, possession can change hands, or a debtor can become harder to trace while a suit is pending. The Firm places particular emphasis on moving early for interim relief, and on using the summary procedure available under Order XXXVII to shorten the timeline for genuine, well-documented money claims rather than defaulting to a lengthy regular trial where it isn’t necessary.
Civil suits are conducted primarily before the District Courts of Delhi, with higher-value suits falling within the Delhi High Court’s original civil jurisdiction. The Firm also handles the resulting appeals, and is equally equipped to act before courts in other jurisdictions across India where a client’s matter requires it.
