Advocate for Court Cases in Siliguri
If you already have a case running, or a date coming up, what you need most is someone reliable in the courtroom when it is called, and a clear message afterwards telling you what happened. As an advocate for court cases in Siliguri since 1982, our chamber on Hill Cart Road, opposite Meghdoot Cinema Hall, appears in civil, criminal, consumer, revenue, tax and arbitration matters across North Bengal, and tells clients plainly which dates they must attend themselves.
Cases from Siliguri are heard in more places than people expect. The Siliguri court complex has civil judges, Additional District and Sessions Judges, the ACJM and magistrates' courts and a Commercial Court. Some matters go to the District Judge at Darjeeling, or to the Jalpaiguri district courts for the Jalpaiguri side of the city. Appeals and writs go to the Calcutta High Court circuit bench at Jalpaiguri, or to the High Court in Kolkata. Land revenue disputes run before the BL&LRO and DL&LRO and then the Land Reforms and Tenancy Tribunal (LRTT) in Kolkata. Tax appeals are heard by the ITAT benches in Kolkata, consumer cases by the commissions at Siliguri and Jalpaiguri, and arbitrations wherever the arbitrator sits.
Most hearing dates do not need you. Once we file a vakalatnama (the written authority for an advocate to act in your case), we attend each date, deal with adjournments, and send you the next date on WhatsApp. You can check the same thing on the eCourts services portal or app with your CNR number. The dates you cannot skip are your own evidence and cross-examination, mediation, compromise, and in criminal cases the charge, your examination and judgment.
The pages below explain each forum and each part of managing a case. Our fee for a court appearance starts at Rupees 5000; court fees and government charges are extra. Every page is reviewed by Adv. Abhishek Agarwal. The advocates in the chamber are Ramesh Kumar Agarwal, Abhishek Agarwal and Khushboo Agarwal Goyal.
