Our reputation is built on our unique collective experience and successes in defending individuals and companies in the Delhi- NCR. In our 40-45 years of practice we have been involved in many serious and high-profile domestic and international cases. Previous clients have included Heads of State, Government officers, celebrities, company directors, doctors, accountants and other professionals. Cases that we have been instructed in range from extremely complicated international war crimes trials to allegations of complex fraud and regulatory, competition law and public law matters.
Having left behind the big firm culture of large practices to concentrate on providing the highest quality of service to our clients, we carefully select the cases we take on and the lawyers, counsel and experts that we work alongside. Every client of R.S. Jakhar Law Offices receives the same degree of individual and personal attention and tenacious representation.
Criminal cases involve enforcing public codes of behavior, which are codified in the laws of the state. In criminal cases, the government prosecutes individuals for violating those laws (in other words, for allegedly committing a crime). Punishment in criminal cases can include fines, community service, probation, prison, and the like.
Civil cases involve conflicts between people or institutions such as businesses, typically over money. A civil case usually begins when one person or business (the "plaintiff") claims to have been harmed by the actions of another person or business (the "defendant") and asks the court for relief by filing a "complaint" and starting a court case. The plaintiff may ask the court to award "damages" (money to compensate the plaintiff for any harm suffered), or may ask for an "injunction" to prevent the defendant from doing something or to require the defendant to do something, or may seek a "declaratory judgment" in which the court determines the parties' rights under a contract or statute.
