Areas of practice

The matters the firm accepts, and how they proceed.

Each note below describes the forum before which the matter lies and the ordinary course of the procedure. It is a description of the law and of practice, not advice on any particular set of facts.

Land, title and revenue records

Examination of title, corrections to the record of rights, mutation and succession entries, regularisation of sada bainama transactions, and objections to entries in Part B of the record. The Bhu Bharati Act, 2025 replaced the earlier portal-based framework and restored a graded revenue remedy: application to the Tahsildar or Revenue Divisional Officer, appeal to the District Collector, revision before the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, and reference to the land tribunals.

Tahsildar · RDO · Collector · CCLA · Land tribunals

Conveyancing, registration and stamp duty

Drafting and vetting of sale deeds, gift and settlement deeds, partition and release deeds, development and lease agreements, and powers of attorney. Registration is before the Sub-Registrar of the district in which the property lies; stamp duty is assessed on the market value fixed for the locality, and an under-valuation is liable to reference for determination.

Sub-Registrar · Registration & Stamps Department

Real estate regulation — TG RERA

Registration of projects and of agents, and complaints under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 concerning delay in possession, deviation from the sanctioned plan, refund and interest. A complaint lies to the Authority; a claim for compensation lies before the adjudicating officer. An appeal lies to the Telangana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal within sixty days of receipt of the order.

TG RERA · Real Estate Appellate Tribunal

Municipal regulation — GHMC and HMDA

Building permission and occupancy certificate applications, layout approval, regularisation under the Layout and Building Regularisation Schemes, and replies to notices alleging deviation, unauthorised construction or encroachment. An order of sealing or demolition ordinarily carries a statutory appeal, which is normally taken before the writ jurisdiction is invoked.

GHMC · HMDA · Appellate authority

Writ practice — Telangana High Court

Petitions under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution against orders of revenue, municipal, regulatory and disciplinary authorities, service matters, and matters of taxation. The jurisdiction is discretionary: the Court ordinarily requires the statutory remedy to be exhausted first, subject to the recognised exceptions of want of jurisdiction, breach of natural justice, enforcement of a fundamental right, and challenge to the vires of a statute.

High Court for the State of Telangana

Civil litigation and property suits

Suits for declaration, partition, specific performance, permanent and mandatory injunction and possession, together with interlocutory applications, appointment of a commissioner for local inspection, and execution once a decree is passed. Pecuniary jurisdiction determines whether a suit lies before the junior civil judge, the senior civil judge or the City Civil Court. Consumer complaints lie before the District, State and National Commissions.

City Civil Court · District courts · Consumer commissions

Arbitration and commercial courts

Drafting of arbitration agreements, interim measures under section 9, applications for appointment of an arbitrator under section 11 before the High Court, conduct of the reference, and challenge to or enforcement of an award under sections 34 and 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Commercial disputes above the specified value are tried by the Commercial Courts, where pre-institution mediation applies unless urgent interim relief is sought.

Commercial Courts · Arbitral tribunals

Corporate, commercial and startup

Incorporation and constitutional documents, founders' and shareholders' agreements, share subscription and transfer, employee stock option plans, due diligence, commercial contracts, and periodic filings with the Registrar of Companies. Advice is given on the structure a transaction requires and on the approvals it attracts before it is executed.

Registrar of Companies · Commercial Courts

Insolvency and company law

Applications by financial and operational creditors and by the corporate debtor under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, submission and verification of claims before the resolution professional, and petitions concerning oppression and mismanagement. These matters lie before the National Company Law Tribunal at Hyderabad, with appeal to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal.

NCLT Hyderabad · NCLAT

Intellectual property

Trade mark searches, applications and responses to examination reports, opposition and rectification, copyright registration, and suits for infringement and passing off. Where a mark or a work is used commercially, the record of first use and the chain of assignment are ordinarily the material evidence, and are ordinarily assembled before a dispute arises rather than after it.

Trade Marks Registry · Commercial Courts

Employment and the workplace

Terms of appointment, termination and notice, enforceability of non-compete and non-solicitation covenants, disputes over deferred compensation and stock options, and complaints under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 before the Internal Committee or the Local Committee, with the statutory appeal that follows an inquiry report.

Labour authorities · Internal Committee · Civil courts

Taxation and Goods and Services Tax

Replies to show-cause notices, representation in assessment, audit and adjudication, disputes concerning input tax credit, refunds, classification and registration, and appeals to the appellate authority and thereafter to the Tribunal. Appeals are governed by prescribed periods of limitation and by conditions of pre-deposit.

Commercial Taxes · Appellate authorities · Tribunal

Family and matrimonial

Petitions before the Family Court for divorce, judicial separation, restitution of conjugal rights and nullity; maintenance proceedings; guardianship and custody; and proceedings under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. Family courts refer parties to conciliation or mediation at an early stage, and a settlement reached there is recorded by the court.

Family Courts · Magistrates' courts · Mediation centres

Criminal defence

Anticipatory and regular bail, applications to quash proceedings in the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court, trial before the magistrates' and sessions courts at Nampally, Ranga Reddy and Medchal–Malkajgiri, and appeal or revision.

Send us a message

Sending a message does not create an advocate–client relationship, and no such relationship arises until the firm has confirmed in writing that it is able to act. Please do not send confidential or privileged material through this form, and do not rely on it where a period of limitation is about to expire. Information you send is used only to respond to your message and is dealt with as described in the Privacy Notice.

Questions of procedure

Frequently asked questions.

An application to the Tahsildar is ordinarily accompanied by the current record-of-rights extract, the earlier pahani or adangal entries relied upon, the registered document of title or the record of succession, an encumbrance certificate, proof of identity of the applicant, and the survey or subdivision record where a boundary is in issue. Notice is issued to the recorded holder and to persons likely to be affected before an entry is altered. What is required varies with the nature of the entry and with the objection raised.

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 requires a complaint to be dealt with as expeditiously as possible and, where it is not disposed of within sixty days, requires the reasons for the delay to be recorded in writing. The period actually taken turns on service on the promoter, the number of hearings, whether documents or records are called for, and whether the matter is referred for compensation to the adjudicating officer. No period can be guaranteed.

Ordinarily not. Article 226 confers a discretionary jurisdiction, and the High Court will normally require the statutory remedy to be exhausted before it intervenes. The rule is one of self-imposed restraint rather than of jurisdiction, and the courts have recognised exceptions: an order passed wholly without jurisdiction, a breach of the principles of natural justice, enforcement of a fundamental right, and a challenge to the vires of the statute itself.

Sixty days from the date on which a copy of the order is received. The Tribunal may entertain an appeal filed after that period if it is satisfied that there was sufficient cause for the delay. Where a promoter appeals an order requiring payment, the Act requires the amount to be deposited before the appeal is heard, in the proportion the statute prescribes.

Part B holds records in which the entry is incomplete or disputed — a mismatch between the pahani and the registered document, a pending court or revenue proceeding, an unrecorded succession, or land affected by a prohibitory listing. The holding is recorded but not confirmed, and ordinarily cannot be transacted until the defect is resolved. Under the Bhu Bharati Act, 2025 the application is made to the Tahsildar or the Revenue Divisional Officer, with appeal to the District Collector and revision before the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration.

Under the Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1956 as it applies in Telangana, a suit for a declaration with the consequential relief of possession is valued on the market value of the property, and fee is payable ad valorem on that value. Where a declaration alone is sought, the provisions governing declaratory suits apply. The valuation stated in the plaint is not conclusive and may be examined by the court.

The record of the High Court is in English. Before the subordinate courts and the revenue authorities of the State, pleadings, depositions and documents are commonly in Telugu, which is the official language of Telangana; Urdu is the second official language of the State. A document in a language other than that of the court is filed with a translation. This firm works in English, Telugu, Urdu and Hindi.

The application is filed before the Court of Session or the High Court. Notice issues to the Public Prosecutor and the case diary may be called for. The court hears the parties on the nature and gravity of the accusation, the antecedents of the applicant, and the likelihood of the applicant absconding or of evidence being influenced, and it may grant interim protection until the application is finally decided. Any order made may be subject to conditions.
