Commercial Litigation

Commercial disputes before the High Courts under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 and before the Supreme Court of India. The firm handles the full range of commercial litigation — from injunctions and recovery suits through to Supreme Court appeals.

Commercial Courts Act, 2015

The Commercial Courts Act, 2015 established a dedicated framework for the adjudication of commercial disputes above a specified value threshold. Commercial courts at the district level, commercial divisions in High Courts, and commercial appellate divisions provide a structured fast-track process with strict timelines, mandatory pre-institution mediation for certain disputes, and enhanced case management powers. The firm represents clients in commercial court proceedings across the full lifecycle — from pre-suit strategy and pleadings through to judgment and execution.

Contractual Disputes and Recovery

Contract disputes — arising from breach, repudiation, or non-performance of commercial agreements — form the core of the firm’s commercial litigation practice. The firm advises on the legal position, the available remedies (damages, specific performance, injunction, declaration), and the most effective forum and strategy for enforcement. Recovery suits, including suits on promissory notes and bills of exchange, are a specialised area where speed of execution is critical.

Injunctions and Urgent Relief

Interim injunctions — restraining a party from doing an act or compelling a party to continue — are among the most powerful tools in commercial litigation. The balance of convenience, irreparable harm, and the prima facie case standard are the foundational tests. The firm advises on injunction strategy, the preparation of urgent applications, and the management of ex parte and contested injunction proceedings.

Supreme Court Litigation

As an AOR at the Supreme Court, the firm provides complete Supreme Court representation in commercial matters — from SLPs challenging High Court judgments through to hearings on final disposal. Commercial matters that reach the Supreme Court typically involve significant questions of law on contract, company law, insolvency, arbitration, or regulatory compliance.
