Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state in India, presents a vast and complex legal landscape. The High Court of Judicature at Allahabad is one of the oldest and largest High Courts in Asia, handling a massive volume of litigation. With a permanent bench in Lucknow, the judicial system covers a diverse range of issues from agrarian land disputes to modern corporate litigation in hubs like Noida and Ghaziabad.
Litigation in UP requires not just legal knowledge but a deep understanding of local procedural nuances, revenue laws, and the administrative machinery. Whether it's a property dispute in Varanasi, a commercial suit in Noida, or a writ petition in Prayagraj, the stakes are often high.

The **High Court of Judicature at Allahabad** is the primary High Court for Uttar Pradesh, located in Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad). It also has a permanent **Circuit Bench at Lucknow**, which has jurisdiction over 12 districts including Lucknow, Faizabad, and Ayodhya. The jurisdiction is divided territorially between the Principal Seat at Allahabad and the Lucknow Bench.
Unlike the High Courts in Kolkata, Mumbai, or Chennai, the Allahabad High Court generally **does not** exercise Ordinary Original Civil Jurisdiction. Civil suits are filed in the respective District Courts (Civil Judge Junior/Senior Division or District Judge). The High Court primarily exercises Appellate Jurisdiction (First and Second Appeals) and Writ Jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution.
The **Uttar Pradesh Regulation of Urban Premises Tenancy Act, 2021** has brought significant changes, replacing the old 1972 Act. It mandates a written agreement for all new tenancies and requires intimation to the Rent Authority. It provides for a faster eviction process through Rent Tribunals and caps the security deposit. This is a major shift from the pro-tenant stance of the older legislation.
Yes, the **UP Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986** is a stringent law often invoked by the state police. Securing bail under this Act requires demonstrating that the accused is not guilty of the offense and is not likely to commit any offense while on bail. We have extensive experience in arguing bail applications under this special statute before the Sessions Courts and the High Court.
Land acquisition for infrastructure projects (like Expressways and Airports) often leads to disputes regarding compensation. We represent landowners in seeking enhanced compensation under the **Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013**. These matters are often taken up in the District Courts (LARR Authority) and appealed in the High Court.
Yes, the **Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Expressway Authorities** are statutory bodies. If they act arbitrarily—such as cancelling lease deeds, imposing exorbitant penalties, or delaying possession—you can file a Writ Petition in the Allahabad High Court. We frequently represent homebuyers and developers in such administrative law matters.
Divorce petitions are filed in the **Family Court** of the district where the marriage was solemnized, or where the respondent resides, or where the couple last resided together. In districts without a Family Court, it is filed in the Court of the Principal Judge. We handle mutual consent divorce, contested divorce, and related matters of custody and maintenance.
The **UP Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA)** and its Appellate Tribunal (REAT) in Lucknow handle disputes between homebuyers and developers. This includes delays in possession, refund of money, and structural defects. We assist clients in filing complaints and executing RERA orders, which is crucial given the large real estate markets in Noida and Ghaziabad.
Yes, we handle cases under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act in the District Courts of Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddha Nagar (Noida). Given the high volume of commercial transactions in these industrial hubs, cheque bounce litigation is common. We assist in the entire process from legal notice to trial.
A First Appeal against a decree of a District Court must be filed in the Allahabad High Court within **90 days** from the date of the decree and judgment. For appeals against orders, the period is typically shorter. Delay can be condoned only on sufficient grounds, so timely filing is essential.
You can file a petition under **Section 482 of the CrPC** in the Allahabad High Court (or Lucknow Bench) to quash an FIR. Grounds for quashing include compromise in matrimonial/civil disputes, lack of evidence, or abuse of process of law. The High Court has inherent powers to prevent the harassment of innocent citizens.
The **UP Revenue Code, 2006** (which replaced the UP Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act) governs agricultural land tenure, transfer, and partition. Disputes regarding title, mutation, and boundary of agricultural land are adjudicated by Revenue Courts (Tehsildar, SDM, Commissioner) and not regular civil courts. We specialize in revenue litigation.
Yes, the **National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT)** has a bench in Allahabad (Prayagraj). It has jurisdiction over companies registered in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. We handle insolvency proceedings (IBC), company mergers, and restoration of struck-off companies before the NCLT Allahabad Bench.
Anticipatory Bail was reintroduced in Uttar Pradesh in 2019 (after being abolished during the Emergency). Applications can be filed before the Sessions Court or the High Court. Given the political and social dynamics in UP, false FIRs are not uncommon, making anticipatory bail a critical remedy we actively pursue for our clients.
Disputes over Wills (Testamentary matters) are handled by the District Judge. If a Will is contested, the probate/letter of administration proceeding converts into a regular civil suit. We assist in proving the genuineness of Wills and defending against challenges based on coercion or lack of capacity.
