Committed to protecting your property and commercial interests with strategic civil litigation services.
Civil litigation in India encompasses a vast range of disputes arising between private parties — individuals, companies, or institutions — concerning rights, obligations, and property. The courts of Delhi, including Saket, Tis Hazari, Patiala House, Rohini, Dwarka, and Karkardooma District Courts, handle thousands of civil matters every year. Navigating this system requires not just knowledge of substantive law but a deep understanding of procedural law under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC). Our civil litigation team brings decades of district court experience to every case, ensuring your matter is handled with precision, strategic foresight, and relentless advocacy.
Property disputes are among the most complex and emotionally charged civil matters. We handle the full spectrum: partition suits among co-owners or family members, suits for possession against illegal occupants and encroachers, eviction proceedings against tenants under both the Transfer of Property Act and the Delhi Rent Control Act, suits for specific performance of a registered sale agreement, and title disputes where ownership documents are challenged. We work with expert property valuers and document examiners to build airtight cases in Delhi's District Courts and the Delhi High Court.
Unpaid dues, dishonoured cheques, and defaulting borrowers can cripple a business or individual. We file summary suits under Order 37 of CPC for speedy recovery of money due on written contracts. For dishonoured cheques, we initiate proceedings under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, which carries criminal penalties including imprisonment and fine equal to twice the cheque amount. We manage the entire process from filing to final decree and its execution against the judgment debtor's assets.
When an urgent court order is needed to prevent a party from taking an action that would cause irreparable harm — such as an unauthorised sale of disputed property, continued trespass, or a breach of a restrictive covenant — we move swiftly to obtain Temporary Injunctions and ex-parte stays. We are experienced in presenting the three pillars of an injunction case: a prima facie case, balance of convenience in your favour, and the irreparable nature of the harm you would face without the order.
When one party fails to honour the terms of a validly executed contract, the law provides remedies including damages, specific performance, and rescission. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in breach of contract disputes across a wide range of sectors — real estate, services, construction, and commercial supply. We conduct a thorough analysis of the contract terms, communications between parties, and evidence of breach to build the strongest possible case for your position.
The timeline varies greatly depending on the complexity of the case and the court's docket load. A simple money recovery suit under Order 37 (where the defendant has limited right to defend) can conclude in 6–12 months. A complex property partition suit with multiple parties and document disputes can take several years. We continuously pursue all procedural remedies to expedite your matter and avoid unnecessary delays.
Court fees in Delhi are governed by the Court Fees Act and are calculated as a percentage of the value of the subject matter of the suit. For money recovery suits, it is typically a percentage of the amount claimed. For other suits like injunctions or specific performance, it is based on the market value of the property. We conduct a thorough assessment of applicable court fees before filing to avoid any complications.
Yes. Under the CPC, you can claim interest from the date the cause of action arose to the date of the decree, and post-decree interest until actual payment is made. The rate of interest awarded by the court is typically between 6% and 18% per annum, depending on the nature of the claim and the evidence of the agreed interest rate.
If a decree holder faces non-compliance, they can file an Execution Petition in the court that passed the decree. The court can then attach and sell the judgment debtor's movable and immovable property, order arrest and detention of the debtor in civil prison, and appoint a receiver to manage the property. We handle all execution proceedings to ensure you actually receive what the court has awarded you.
