Success Stories & Case Results

A 32-year-old man from Burnpur was falsely accused under Section 85 BNS (formerly 498A IPC) by his wife's family. He was arrested and remanded to judicial custody. We filed a bail application within 24 hours of receiving instructions, arguing that the allegations were general in nature and the accused had no prior criminal record. The Sessions Judge at Asansol granted bail within 48 hours, with conditions to cooperate with the investigation. The case was later quashed by the Calcutta High Court after a settlement was reached.

A couple from Kulti had been separated for 14 months and wanted a mutual consent divorce under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. The main concern was division of jointly held property. We negotiated a settlement where the wife retained the flat in Asansol and the husband kept the agricultural land in their village. The first motion was filed in month 1, the second motion in month 7, and the decree was granted in month 8 — faster than the typical 6-month waiting period due to efficient filing.

A family in Raniganj had been fighting over a 3-bigha ancestral property where a distant relative had fraudulently mutated the land in his name. We filed a suit for declaration of title and cancellation of the fraudulent mutation, supported by revenue records dating back to 1962. After examining 12 witnesses and producing original sale deeds from 1948, the Civil Judge (Senior Division) at Asansol declared our client as the rightful owner and directed the BLRO to correct the mutation records.

A businessman from Asansol had received a cheque of Rs 4.5 lakh from a supplier, which bounced with the remark "insufficient funds." We sent a Section 138 notice within 15 days, filed a complaint when the drawer failed to pay, and pursued the trial. During cross-examination, we established that the cheque was issued for a legally enforceable debt. The Magistrate convicted the accused under Section 138 NI Act and ordered payment of the cheque amount plus Rs 4.5 lakh as compensation.

A woman from Jamuria was receiving only Rs 3,000 per month as maintenance, which was insufficient to support herself and her two children. We filed a modification application under Section 144 BNS, presenting evidence of the husband's increased income (he had been promoted and was earning Rs 45,000/month). The Family Court at Asansol increased the maintenance to Rs 12,000 per month, with arrears calculated from the date of the application.

A 28-year-old from Kulti was named in an FIR under the NDPS Act based on a co-accused's statement, though no contraband was recovered from him. We filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 BNSS before the Sessions Court, arguing that the statement was obtained under coercion and there was no independent evidence. The court granted anticipatory bail with conditions, preventing arrest during the investigation. The client was never taken into custody.

A policyholder from Durgapur had his life insurance claim of Rs 1.5 lakh rejected on the grounds of "non-disclosure of pre-existing condition." We filed a consumer complaint under Section 35 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, arguing that the condition was disclosed in the proposal form and the insurance company's rejection was arbitrary. The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at Asansol ordered the company to pay the claim amount plus Rs 50,000 as compensation for mental harassment.

A father from Asansol sought custody of his 8-year-old son after the mother remarried and moved to a different city. The mother had primary custody under the earlier order. We filed a modification petition under the Guardian and Wards Act, presenting evidence that the child's education and emotional wellbeing would be better served by staying with the father in Asansol, where the child had been schooling. The Family Court modified the custody order in favour of the father, with visitation rights to the mother during school holidays.
