CIVIL LAW

Civil suits encompass a vast area of civil laws in India and almost all kinds of relief sought through civil filings. Some of the important categories of civil suits are civil suits for permanent injunction, suits for mandatory injunction, suits for declaration, suits for rendition of accounts and various other kinds of civil suits.

Our search for civil-law expertise extends to clients under litigation, including money recovery, recovery disputes, suits related to children, wards, guardianships, estate, property, custody, execution, claims, partitions and petitions, etc., under any law, including matters relating to pre-emption, children, guardianship, recovery, marriage, succession, will, estate, probate and administration, etc., before any courts, tribunals, commissions, boards and other judicial or quasi-judicial authorities throughout India. These services include advising, drafting pleadings and appearing in the courts.

The primary difference between civil litigation and criminal cases is that in civil cases one or both parties seek money or another form of compensation rather than criminal charges. In general, the prosecution in criminal cases represents the state in which the trial is taking place, but in civil cases both parties represent themselves, with the assistance of a civil litigation attorney or legal counsel. These are some of the most common types of cases to appear in civil court.

CONTRACT DISPUTES

Contract disputes occur when one or more parties who signed a contract cannot or will not fulfil their obligations. Occasionally, this is due to a contract written in unclear terms that creates different expectations among the signers, but usually it is because one party overextends itself and does not have the money or employees to fulfil its obligations.

PROPERTY DISPUTE

Property law involves disputes about property ownership and damages to one person's property or real estate. There are many different types of property disputes that a civil litigation attorney may handle. One common example is a property-line dispute, in which one party alleges that a neighbour crossed the property-line boundary between their two homes for building or planting.

TORTS

A tort is a civil case in which one party alleges that another caused them physical or emotional harm. Tort cases can take many different forms and can relate to a person's personal safety, safety of their property and financial security. Common torts related to accidents and injuries include assault or battery cases and negligence cases in which one party alleges that a caregiver did not do their assigned duty.

CLASS ACTION CASES

Class-action cases are similar to tort cases, except that the proceedings represent a group or class of people who have all been injured by the same thing. These are common in cases involving defective products or exposure to hazardous materials in which the faulty item injured multiple people before it was recalled.

COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE CITY

Complaints against a city or federal government are generally settled out of court, but in the event that the government refuses to settle, the complaints are generally tried as civil cases. These cases can be brought in any case where the plaintiff alleges that city law or policy has caused harm to its citizens.
