Frequently Asked Questions

Legal Domain FAQs

Common questions about legal practice areas in India — answered by our expert advocates

What is the difference between criminal law and civil law in India?

Criminal law deals with offences against the state (murder, theft, fraud) governed by BNS 2023. Civil law handles disputes between private parties (property, contracts, family) with remedies like compensation or injunctions. Criminal cases are filed by the state; civil cases by individuals.

How do I file for divorce in India?

File a petition in the Family Court of the district where you last lived together. Mutual consent divorce takes 6–18 months; contested divorce can take 3–7 years. A family law advocate can guide you through the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 or applicable personal law.

What is the process for property dispute resolution in India?

Options include: Civil Court (suit for declaration/injunction/partition), Lok Adalat (amicable settlement), Arbitration (if agreement has arbitration clause), or Revenue Court (agricultural land). Consult a property law advocate to choose the best approach.

What is cyber law in India and what does it cover?

Governed by the IT Act 2000, cyber law covers hacking, phishing, identity theft, data protection, online fraud, and digital evidence. Report cyber crimes at cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930 (24×7 helpline).

How do I protect my brand or trademark in India?

Register your trademark at ipindia.gov.in under the Trade Marks Act 1999. This protects your brand name, logo, and tagline. An IP advocate can file the application, respond to objections, and handle infringement cases.

What is arbitration and how is it different from going to court?

Arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 is faster (12–18 months vs. years in court), private, and binding. Parties choose their arbitrator. The award is enforceable like a court decree. Ideal for commercial and construction disputes.

What legal rights do NRIs have regarding property in India?

NRIs can own residential and commercial property, inherit, and sell property in India. Agricultural land requires RBI permission. A Power of Attorney is needed if you cannot be present. Consult an NRI legal services advocate for FEMA compliance.

How do I file a consumer complaint in India?

Under the Consumer Protection Act 2019, file at: District Consumer Commission (up to ₹50 lakh), State Commission (₹50 lakh–₹2 crore), or National Commission (above ₹2 crore). File online at edaakhil.nic.in — no advocate required.
