HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY
Start with the legal issue, then identify the route.
A legal matter may fall within more than one subject area. A disputed commercial invoice may involve contractual interpretation and recovery; a brand dispute may involve trade mark registration, passing off, company ownership and civil remedies; an employment disagreement may raise contractual, statutory and evidentiary questions. The relevant page provides a starting overview, but the correct legal route depends on the full record.
Intellectual property and brand rights
Trade marks, copyright, patents and designs protect different subject matter. The IP India portal provides registry services and public-search tools. Primary legislation, including the Trade Marks Act, 1999, should be reviewed together with the applicable rules and the actual registration record.
Civil, criminal and commercial procedure
Procedure depends on the cause of action, jurisdiction, limitation, relief and stage of the matter. The Delhi High Court and the Delhi District Courts publish official court information. The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 and the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 are among the statutes that may be relevant to civil and commercial litigation.
Companies, contracts and documentation
Business matters often depend on the company’s constitutional documents, board authority, contracts, guarantees, amendments, invoices and records of performance. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs provides company-related public services, while India Code provides the statutory text of the Companies Act, 2013.
Consumer and employment matters
Consumer and employment rights are governed by different statutory regimes, rules and forums. The Department of Consumer Affairs publishes the Consumer Protection Act and related rules, while the Ministry of Labour & Employment publishes labour legislation and notifications. The correct law and forum depend on the nature of the transaction or employment relationship, the dates involved and the parties’ status.
