The work the office takes
The practice is litigation-led, with an advisory side. Litigation is taken up across the civil, criminal, matrimonial, corporate and consumer forums in Kolkata and before the Calcutta High Court, and advisory work covers title opinions, contract review, compliance responses and replies to notices. The table below sets out the main areas, the kind of instruction each usually involves, and the forum where it is ordinarily heard.
| Practice area | Typical instructions | Forum |
|---|---|---|
| Property and title | Title search and opinion, partition, possession suits, injunctions, registration and mutation | Civil Judge and District Judge, Calcutta High Court Original Side, sub-registrar |
| Family and matrimonial | Divorce, maintenance, custody, domestic violence, guardianship | Family Court Alipore and Howrah, magistrate court, Calcutta High Court |
| Criminal | Bail, anticipatory bail, quashing, trial defence, complaint cases, cheque dishonour | Magistrate courts and City Sessions Court, Calcutta High Court |
| Cyber and online fraud | Bank freeze, UPI and card fraud, sextortion, online defamation, data theft | 1930 and cybercrime.gov.in, Lalbazar cyber cell, district courts |
| Consumer | Defective goods, deficient services, insurance refusal, builder delay | District and State Consumer Commissions, WB RERA |
| Corporate and commercial | Incorporation, agreements, recovery suits, arbitration, NCLT matters | ROC West Bengal, NCLT Kolkata, commercial courts, Calcutta High Court |
| NRI and cross-border | Property protection, succession, power of attorney, document attestation | Civil and district courts, Calcutta High Court, consular authorities |
| Writ and constitutional | Failure of a public authority, orders without jurisdiction, service and pension disputes | Calcutta High Court, Article 226 |
How instructions are usually taken
- A short chronology and the documents that exist are sent to the office by email or brought to a first meeting.
- The forum, the route and the realistic timeline are explained in a single conversation, with no fee quoted before the facts have been seen.
- A fee estimate is issued in writing. Nothing is payable before it is accepted.
- Work begins with the documents, and hearings that require an appearance are attended by the office.
Advisory work, which is faster
Not every instruction needs a court. Title opinions, review of a draft agreement, a reply to a notice, and a compliance response to a department are all handled on documents and are turned around without any filing. Where a notice has a reply deadline, sending it to the office early is usually enough to meet the date, even if the reply is drafted over the following days.

How to work out which area a matter falls under
A single dispute often sits across more than one area. A sale of property that was not completed is a property matter, but if the buyer was induced by a false representation it also becomes a criminal complaint. A business falling out over accounts may be a partnership dissolution, a suit for accounts, or an arbitration, depending on the deed. Identifying the right area first usually saves a filing in the wrong forum.
| What happened | Most likely area |
|---|---|
| A cheque was dishonoured | Criminal, with a parallel civil recovery where the amount is large |
| A relative is occupying property and refuses to leave | Property, or tenancy proceedings if the occupation is a tenancy |
| Money moved to an unknown account | Cyber crime, with a bank chargeback running in parallel |
| A spouse has moved out and seeks maintenance | Family, with a parallel application in the magistrate's court where relevant |
| A company has stopped filing returns | Corporate, with a regulatory response before any court proceeding |
| A builder has not delivered possession | RERA or consumer, depending on whether possession or a refund is sought |
| A public authority has refused a licence | Writ, if the refusal was without jurisdiction or without a hearing |
| An NRI wants to stop an alienation at home | Property, with a caveat and an injunction |
Advisory work and why it is often the right first step
A title opinion, a contract review, a reply to a notice or a compliance response is cheaper and faster than litigation, and in many matters it prevents the litigation altogether. Where the other side has sent a notice, the reply often settles the dispute at the point where it is cheapest to settle. Where a transaction is still being negotiated, the review changes the terms before they are signed rather than after.
When more than one proceeding is needed
Some matters genuinely require two or three proceedings running at once — a criminal complaint and a civil recovery suit, or a matrimonial petition and a maintenance application. Running them consistently matters; the documents filed in one are read in the others, and contradictory figures in two forums are the easiest thing for the other side to use. Where more than one proceeding is needed, the client is told at the outset what each one is for and what it will cost, separately.
Urgency and how it is handled
Matters with a running deadline — a reply date, a limitation date, an expected arrest, a scheduled demolition — are taken on the same day. For those, call rather than use the form. A short call establishes whether anything can be done and what the immediate step is, and it costs nothing.
