This is a reference draft reproduced for study and adaptation. Court rules, court fees and the correct forum vary with the facts and the value of the claim, so have the document checked and filed by an advocate. A defective application can be returned or dismissed even when the case itself is good.

Our Criminal Law team drafts and files these documents before the Calcutta High Court, city civil courts, magistrate, family and consumer courts in Kolkata. Our criminal defence team handles bail, trial and pre-trial applications in Kolkata courts.
