Commercial Suits
Conduct of commercial disputes under the Commercial Courts Act, including contract, recovery, shareholder and supply disputes, with the case management the Act requires.
We conduct civil, commercial, writ and appellate litigation across the Indian court system, from the first pleading to the final appeal. The outcome usually rests on the strength of the pleading and the evidence, not on the speech that closes the hearing.
A litigation mandate is a structure built in sequence. The pleading frames the dispute, the interim application protects the position, the trial proves the case, and the appeal preserves the questions of law.
Conduct of commercial disputes under the Commercial Courts Act, including contract, recovery, shareholder and supply disputes, with the case management the Act requires.
Civil suits under the Code of Civil Procedure, declaration, specific performance, injunction and damages, from institution through trial to decree.
Constitutional writs before the High Courts under Article 226 and the Supreme Court under Article 32, challenging State and regulatory action.
Applications for injunction, attachment before judgment, appointment of receiver and other interim orders that protect the position while the case proceeds.
First and second appeals, special leave petitions and the appellate strategy that carries a matter to the High Court and the Supreme Court.
Execution of decrees and orders, because a judgment that cannot be enforced is of little value to the party that won it.
Each stage rests on the work of the last. The pleading frames the dispute, the interim order holds the ground, the trial proves the facts, and the execution turns a decree into a result.
Assess the merits, the forum, the limitation position and the relief worth seeking before anything is filed.
Frame the plaint or the petition and the supporting documents so the case is complete on the record from the start.
Secure the injunction or protective order that preserves the position while the matter is heard.
Lead evidence, cross examine and argue the matter to judgment on a focused and proven case.
Pursue or defend the appeal, and execute the decree so the outcome is realised in fact.
Every dispute is read through three lenses at once. The case has to be technically sound on the law and the procedure. It has to make commercial sense to pursue, and the legal strategy has to carry it through trial and appeal.
We frame the pleading, the forum and the evidence with precision under the Commercial Courts Act and the Code of Civil Procedure, because a technically complete case is the foundation of every outcome that follows.
We weigh the cost, the time and the realistic recovery against the commercial objective, so the decision to litigate, settle or enforce serves the business rather than the file.
We carry the matter from interim relief through trial to the appellate courts, preserving the questions of law for the High Court and the Supreme Court and ensuring the decree can in fact be executed.
A dispute is usually decided by what is pleaded and proved, not by the eloquence of the final hearing. A case framed precisely, supported by the right documents and confined to the issues that matter, is in a strong position before a word is spoken in court. We invest in the pleading because that is where cases are quietly won and lost.
The vocabulary that decides outcomes, set out precisely, not loosely.
A constitutional remedy under Article 226 before a High Court or Article 32 before the Supreme Court to enforce fundamental and other legal rights against the State.
The discretionary route under Article 136 by which the Supreme Court may grant leave to appeal against any order of any court or tribunal.
The statute that creates dedicated commercial courts and divisions and prescribes pre-institution mediation and time-bound procedure for commercial disputes above the specified value.
The summary suit procedure under the Code of Civil Procedure for recovery on negotiable instruments and written contracts, where leave to defend is required.
A temporary order under Order XXXIX of the Code of Civil Procedure restraining a party pending final adjudication, granted on prima facie case, balance of convenience and irreparable injury.
Short, direct, on the record.
The Commercial Courts Act created dedicated commercial courts and divisions to hear commercial disputes above a specified value, and it imposed a structured procedure designed to move these matters faster. It introduced case management hearings, timelines for pleadings and disclosure, and a pre-institution mediation requirement in cases that do not seek urgent interim relief. In practice it rewards parties who come to court prepared, because the timelines leave less room to build a case after filing.
A writ petition under Article 226 before a High Court, or Article 32 before the Supreme Court, is appropriate where the grievance is against the State, a public authority or a regulator and involves a violation of a legal or fundamental right. It is not a substitute for an ordinary civil suit between private parties, and it is generally not available where there is an adequate alternative remedy. Choosing the writ route correctly, and framing the petition to fit it, is part of the early assessment of any matter against public action.
Often decisive. An interim injunction or protective order preserves the position while the case is decided, and in many disputes the practical outcome is shaped more by who holds the ground during the litigation than by the final judgment years later. Interim relief turns on a strong prima facie case, the balance of convenience and the risk of irreparable harm, and the application has to be made early and on a complete record. A right left unprotected at the start can be difficult to restore at the end.
Through a special leave petition under Article 136, the Supreme Court has a discretionary power to grant leave to appeal from almost any judgment or order of any court or tribunal in India. This is not an appeal as of right. Leave is granted where the matter raises a substantial question of law or involves a serious miscarriage of justice. Because the discretion is wide but selectively exercised, a special leave petition has to be framed to show why the case merits the attention of the highest court.
A decree is only as valuable as the ability of the winning party to enforce it. Execution proceedings under the Code of Civil Procedure turn a judgment into a realised result, whether by attachment and sale of property, garnishee of debts or other means. Execution can be contested and can take time, and a judgment debtor with no traceable assets can frustrate a decree entirely. We treat enforceability as part of the strategy from the start, because winning a case that cannot be executed is a hollow victory.
Income tax, transfer pricing, withholding and treaty interpretation
Merger filings, dominance, cartels and CCI proceedings
Economic offences, PMLA, SEBI enforcement and internal investigations
The strongest outcomes are built into the strategy at the start, not recovered from disputes later.
