Where the office is

Overview

How the Firm Assists Clients Here

Prayagraj, in eastern Uttar Pradesh at the confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna, is the principal seat of the Allahabad High Court. Matters from the district therefore include a higher proportion of appellate and writ work than most, alongside the district court, revenue and registration matters common everywhere.

Instructions connected with Prayagraj frequently concern a stage of a matter rather than its beginning: an order that has gone against a client and may be appealable, a proceeding that has stalled, or a question about whether a writ remedy is available at all. Those are assessed on the order and the record below rather than on a description of what happened.

The practical point in appellate work is timing. Appeal periods are short and run from the date of the order, and material not placed on the record at the earlier stage is admitted later only in limited circumstances. An order is therefore worth sending as soon as it is received, whatever is eventually decided about it.

Getting started

How Consultation and Document Review Work

Where an order has been passed, please send a complete copy at the outset, with the papers filed below. The first assessment is of the record rather than of the account of it, and appeal periods run whether or not advice has been taken.

  1. Step 01

    First discussion

    What has happened, what is sought and whether anything is running against time.

  2. Step 02

    Document review

    The papers already held are read, and anything still to be obtained is identified.

  3. Step 03

    Scope and next steps

    The available course of action, the work it involves and its likely stages are set out before it is begun.

Remote

Matters That May Begin Remotely

Whether a particular matter can be taken this far without a meeting depends on the papers, and is settled at the outset rather than assumed.

  • A first discussion about what has happened and what is sought, by telephone or video call.
  • Reading scanned documents — agreements, notices, returns, orders and correspondence — before originals are seen.
  • Drafting and settling notices, replies, agreements and deeds, with revisions exchanged electronically.
  • Preparing and submitting registration and return filings that are made online.
  • Written replies to notices issued by a tax or registration authority.

In person

Matters That May Require Physical Appearance

Some steps cannot be completed remotely. Where attendance is required, that is said in advance rather than discovered on the day.

  • Execution and registration of a deed, where the parties must attend the registration office in person.
  • Hearings where the court, tribunal or authority requires a party rather than only the advocate to be present.
  • Examination of original title documents, which frequently cannot be assessed from a photograph or a scan.
  • Recording of evidence, and any proceeding in which a party must be identified in person.
  • Any step for which the forum concerned directs personal attendance.

The practice

Advocates

Each advocate of the firm is enrolled with the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh and holds a Certificate of Practice. All three work from the Lucknow office.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quickly. Appeal and revision periods are prescribed, are generally short, and run from the date of the order or its service. Condonation of delay is not a matter of right. Send the complete order as soon as you have it so the period can be worked out from it.

Only in limited circumstances, and it has to be justified. This is the main reason it matters to place material on the record while the original proceeding is still live rather than holding it back.

No, and it is worth saying so plainly. Some orders are not realistically contestable on the material available, and pursuing them costs time and money without improving the position. That assessment is made honestly on the record before anything is filed.
