Punjab, with its vibrant economy and global diaspora, presents a dynamic legal landscape. The Punjab and Haryana High Court in Chandigarh serves as the judicial nerve center, handling a vast array of cases from both states. Litigation in Punjab is often characterized by complex land disputes, NRI property issues, and a high volume of commercial and criminal matters in industrial hubs like Ludhiana and Jalandhar.
For the large NRI community, managing legal affairs back home can be daunting. Issues of illegal possession, fraudulent wills, and tenant disputes are rampant. On the domestic front, the agricultural and industrial sectors drive significant civil and corporate litigation.

The **Punjab and Haryana High Court** is located in **Chandigarh**, the shared capital of both states. It has jurisdiction over the State of Punjab, the State of Haryana, and the Union Territory of Chandigarh. It is a common High Court for these three entities and handles all Writ Petitions, Appeals, and other high-level litigation matters arising from Punjab.
Yes, NRI property disputes are a major area of our practice. Many NRIs from Punjab face issues like illegal possession of their ancestral property, fraudulent transfers, and tenant disputes. We assist in filing cases under the **Punjab Security of Land Tenures Act** and the **East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act**, as well as specific remedies available to NRIs for speedy eviction of tenants.
Anticipatory Bail applications under Section 438 CrPC are filed before the Sessions Court of the respective district or directly in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. In cases involving dowry harassment (498A), political rivalry, or property disputes, securing pre-arrest bail is crucial. We have a strong track record in obtaining relief from the High Court.
Matrimonial disputes, including divorce, restitution of conjugal rights, and maintenance, are handled by the **Family Courts** in each district. We handle both mutual consent divorce and contested divorce cases. We also assist in quashing of 498A FIRs in the High Court on the basis of compromise, which is a common route for settlement.
Yes, mutation entries by the Revenue Department (Patwari/Tehsildar) can be challenged. The appeal lies with the Collector (DC) and then the Commissioner. Ultimately, a Civil Suit for Declaration of Title can be filed in the Civil Courts if there is a dispute regarding ownership. We handle both revenue appeals and civil title suits.
Punjab has stringent enforcement of the **NDPS Act** due to the drug menace. Bail in cases involving 'commercial quantity' is extremely difficult under Section 37. We provide specialized defense, focusing on procedural violations by the police (like non-compliance with search and seizure rules) to secure bail and acquittal for our clients.
Yes, Ludhiana and Jalandhar are major industrial hubs, and cheque bounce cases under Section 138 of the NI Act are very common. We represent businesses and individuals in filing complaints and defending against false accusations in the Judicial Magistrate Courts.
Couples who marry against the wishes of their families often face threats. We file **Protection Petitions** in the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking directions to the police to protect the life and liberty of the couple. These petitions are usually listed and heard on an urgent basis.
The **Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT)** in Chandigarh has jurisdiction over bank loan recovery matters for Punjab. We represent borrowers and guarantors in SARFAESI Act proceedings, challenging auction notices and possession orders issued by banks.
Yes, if the police are harassing you, refusing to register an FIR, or illegally detaining someone, a Writ Petition (Criminal) or Habeas Corpus petition can be filed in the High Court. The High Court has the power to order an independent investigation or transfer the case to a specialized agency.
For civil appeals (Regular Second Appeal), the limitation is **90 days** from the date of the lower appellate court's decree. For criminal appeals against conviction, it is **60 days**. It is vital to file within this period to avoid dismissal on grounds of delay.
Yes, we handle consumer complaints against builders, insurance companies, and service providers in the District Consumer Commissions (e.g., in Mohali, Amritsar) and the State Consumer Commission in Chandigarh.
A foreign judgment (e.g., a divorce decree or money decree from UK/Canada/USA) can be enforced in Punjab if it meets the criteria of Section 13 CPC. If it is from a 'reciprocating territory', it can be executed directly; otherwise, a fresh civil suit needs to be filed on the basis of the judgment.
NRIs can inherit agricultural land but cannot purchase it without RBI permission (though they can purchase residential/commercial property). Disputes often arise regarding cultivation rights and lease (Theka). We assist NRIs in protecting their possession and recovering rent from cultivators.
Yes, we represent government employees in the High Court in Writ Petitions regarding service regularization, pay scale anomalies, seniority disputes, and wrongful termination. The High Court is the primary forum for challenging state government service orders.
