If there is an imminent hearing, coercive action, account freeze, termination, or urgent family-court issue, mention that in the first message so the urgency can be assessed immediately. Urgent bail and injunction matters are regularly handled on short timelines.

A short written summary and the core documents are usually enough to begin: notices, orders, agreements, pleadings, correspondence, employment documents, or any timeline that helps explain what happened. You can share these over email or WhatsApp.

Yes. Initial enquiries are handled discreetly and the information you share is used only to understand the matter and assess whether representation can be offered. Confidentiality applies whether or not a formal engagement follows.

Fee arrangements vary by matter type and complexity. Some work is billed on a per-hearing or per-stage basis; advisory and compliance mandates may involve a fixed retainer. The fee structure is discussed transparently before any engagement begins.

Yes. An initial consultation allows you to explain the matter, understand the legal position, and assess whether this practice is the right fit before any commitment. If the matter falls outside the practice's focus areas, that is communicated honestly and early.

Yes. Clients include individuals in personal disputes such as divorce, custody, and bail matters, as well as startups, founders, employers, and companies in commercial, employment, IP, POSH, and cyber-related matters.

If your account has been frozen in connection with a cyber-fraud investigation, get in touch immediately with the freeze communication, bank correspondence, and transaction records so the next procedural step can be assessed quickly.

Yes. Supreme Court jurisdiction is pan-India, and the practice regularly works with clients across the country. Whether you are in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, or a smaller city, there is no requirement that you be based in Delhi to pursue a matter in the Supreme Court. Initial instructions, briefing, and document review are handled remotely; physical attendance is generally not required until a hearing is scheduled and advised.

An SLP under Article 136 of the Constitution must be filed within 90 days of the High Court's order, though this limitation period can sometimes be condoned with sufficient cause. The petition sets out the facts, the order under challenge, and the specific questions of law that warrant Supreme Court intervention. It must be supported by a certified copy of the impugned order and an affidavit. The petition is filed through an Advocate-on-Record (AOR) — a specially enrolled category of Supreme Court advocate — and is initially screened by the Court registry before being listed for hearing.

An Advocate-on-Record (AOR) is an advocate who has passed a specific Supreme Court examination and is enrolled to directly file documents and appear in the Court's registry on behalf of clients. Under Supreme Court rules, all filings must go through an AOR. This practice prepares the full strategy, drafting, and legal research for Supreme Court matters, and works in association with an AOR for procedural filing — ensuring that the substantive quality of arguments and the procedural requirements of the Court are both handled correctly.

In urgent bail matters — particularly where the High Court has refused bail in a serious criminal case — the Supreme Court can list the matter relatively quickly, often within two to four weeks if the petition is promptly filed and an urgent mentioning is made before the bench. The Court also has a mechanism for urgent hearing through the Mentioning Officer. That said, timelines depend on the Court's roster and the urgency demonstrated. In genuinely urgent matters involving custodial rights, the practice works to move as fast as procedurally possible.

Yes. Transfer petitions under Section 25 CPC — including those involving matrimonial disputes across different states — are handled both for petitioners and respondents. This includes opposing frivolous transfer petitions filed solely to harass the other side, which the Supreme Court has increasingly scrutinised. The practice has specific experience in defending against transfer petitions and in advising respondent-husbands on their rights in such proceedings.

Jurisdiction in matrimonial matters is typically determined by where the parties last resided together, where the marriage was solemnised, or where the respondent resides. In Delhi, this means a matter may go to the Family Court at Saket (South and South-East Delhi), Patiala House (New Delhi district), Dwarka (South-West Delhi), Karkardooma (East Delhi), Rohini (North-West Delhi), or Tis Hazari (Central and North Delhi). The correct forum is identified at the drafting stage, so that a petition is filed where it cannot be thrown out on jurisdictional grounds.

The Saket Court Complex houses the Family Court for South and South-East districts of Delhi. It typically handles matrimonial matters for areas including Saket, Lajpat Nagar, Greater Kailash, Kalkaji, Defence Colony, Hauz Khas, Malviya Nagar, Khanpur, Chittaranjan Park, and adjoining South Delhi localities. The practice regularly appears before the Saket Family Court given its proximity to the chamber at Amar Colony — which is a useful practical advantage for clients in this part of the city.

Yes. The Patiala House Court Complex (New Delhi district) handles matrimonial matters for parts of central and New Delhi — including Connaught Place, Karol Bagh, Rajendra Nagar, Paharganj, and surrounding localities. Patiala House matters are regularly handled alongside Saket and other Delhi family court forums. The Patiala House complex is also the seat for a range of Delhi district court matters including criminal and civil proceedings.

Yes. The chamber is based in Amar Colony (adjacent to Lajpat Nagar), making it geographically convenient for clients in South Delhi, South-East Delhi, and parts of Central Delhi. The Saket Family Court, which has jurisdiction over much of this area, is a short drive away. In-person consultations are available at the chamber by appointment; document review and preliminary advice can also be handled over email, WhatsApp, or video call for clients who prefer not to travel at the initial stage.

Yes, in many situations. Under the Hindu Marriage Act and the Special Marriage Act, a petition can be filed where the marriage was solemnised, where the parties last resided together, or where the petitioner has been residing. If your spouse has already filed in another city, a transfer petition to the Supreme Court under Section 25 CPC can be considered to bring the matter to a convenient forum — commonly relied upon by women (and, increasingly, men) who cannot practically travel to distant courts. The best course depends on specific facts and the timelines involved.
