Understanding Civil Litigation in India

Civil litigation governs disputes between individuals, companies, and public entities that do not involve criminal charges. These include contractual breaches, property ownership, negligence, tort claims, recovery suits, and injunctions. In India, such matters are primarily regulated by the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, supported by local court rules and judicial precedents. Our team handles every aspect of the litigation process from drafting pleadings, affidavits, and interim applications to managing trials and appeals. We focus on early case evaluation, identifying the most effective legal remedies while exploring amicable settlement opportunities where possible. Our lawyers are adept at managing complex documentation, evidence collection, and compliance with procedural norms before district courts, the Bombay High Court, and other forums.
