Practice Areas
Commercial Litigation & Contract Disputes
Suits, injunctions, and the Commercial Courts Act — for businesses that need a decree, not a correspondence file.
Commercial litigation in Delhi is now a managed process: case-management hearings, strict disclosure, and a court that is less tolerant of rolling adjournments. That is an advantage if the plaintiff has its documents in order. It is a problem if the plaint is a narrative without a cause of action that the Commercial Courts Act will recognise.
What this covers
- Suits for recovery of dues on invoices, works contracts, and supply agreements
- Contractual disputes — termination, repudiation, damages, and specific performance
- Temporary and permanent injunctions, including against dealing with disputed goods or receivables
- GST recoveries framed in commercial suits, where tax treatment and contractual price collide
- Summary judgment and judgment on admissions where the defence is a holding action
- Appeals and revisions from commercial courts to the Delhi High Court
Typical instructions
A supplier with a clean invoice trail and a buyer who has stopped answering; a works contractor whose final bill is certified but unpaid; a company that needs to restrain dissipation of assets while the suit is pending; a defendant served with a commercial suit that overstates the claim and understates the set-off.
How the work is approached
Pleadings are kept tight. The plaint should say what was agreed, what was done, what is due, and why the limitation clock has not run out. Everything else belongs in the documents. Where MSME protection is available, that route is considered alongside or instead of a civil suit — see MSME claims.
