Title deed (15–30 year chain), Encumbrance Certificate, Khata certificate and extract, conversion order, approved building plan, BBMP/BDA sanction, tax paid receipts. Our property lawyers conduct end-to-end due diligence.
What is a 498A case and how can a lawyer help?+
Section 498A deals with cruelty by husband or relatives. It is a cognizable, non-bailable offence. If accused, you need immediate representation for anticipatory bail, responding to police notices and building a strong defence.
Can an FIR be quashed in Bangalore?+
Yes. Under Section 528 BNSS, the High Court can quash an FIR if filed maliciously, lacking merit, or involving a civil dispute. Our advocates assess the FIR, identify grounds and file a well-drafted petition before the Karnataka High Court.
What is NCLT and when do I need an NCLT lawyer?+
NCLT handles insolvency under the IBC, oppression and mismanagement cases, and corporate disputes. You need an NCLT lawyer if your company faces an insolvency petition or corporate dispute.

File at cybercrime.gov.in or Bangalore Cybercrime Police Station. Preserve all digital evidence. Our cybercrime lawyers assist complainants in filing effective complaints and also defend individuals wrongly accused.
Do you handle NRI divorce and legal matters?+
Yes. We handle NRI divorce, property disputes and family law matters. We assist with power of attorney, video consultation, Indian court representation and inter-country legal coordination.
What is the difference between a Sessions Court and the High Court?+
A Sessions Court handles serious criminal trials, appeals from Magistrate courts, and civil matters at district level. The Karnataka High Court has appellate and original jurisdiction over the entire state, handling writs, complex appeals, and constitutional matters. Our advocates appear in both.
Can I get bail if a non-bailable offence is registered against me?+
Yes — through anticipatory bail (Section 438 CrPC) before arrest, or regular bail (Section 439 CrPC) after arrest. The bail conditions depend on the nature of the offence, prior criminal history, and arguments made to the court. Our criminal advocates handle urgent bail applications promptly.

What should I do immediately after a false FIR is registered against me?+
Do not panic. Contact a criminal advocate immediately. Do not give any statement to police without your advocate. Apply for anticipatory bail if arrest is imminent. Preserve all communications, documents and witnesses. Our advocates are available for urgent consultations.
How do I file a writ petition in the Karnataka High Court?+
A writ petition is filed when a fundamental or legal right has been violated — typically against government authorities or public bodies. Our High Court advocates assess the grounds, draft the petition, and appear at the hearing. Contact us for a case evaluation.
What is the process for a mutual consent divorce in Bangalore?+
Both spouses file a joint petition. There is a mandatory 6-month cooling-off period (which courts may waive in some circumstances). After that, a second motion is filed and the court passes the divorce decree. Total time: 6–18 months with experienced representation.
