Every guide is written and reviewed by Advocate Panchanand Shaw, an advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of West Bengal practising at the Calcutta High Court and the Bankshall, Sealdah and Alipore courts in Kolkata.
Yes. All 793 guides are free and need no registration. They explain procedure, documents, timelines, court fees and the practical steps involved, in plain language.
No. They are general legal information, not legal advice on your facts. A guide helps you ask better questions and prepare documents; it cannot tell you what will happen in your own case.
Use the category tiles or the search box. Criminal and bail matters sit under Criminal Law, partition and mutation under Property Law, maintenance and custody under Family Law, and filing or limitation questions under Court Procedure.
Yes. Consultations are available at the chamber at 14 Hare Street, Kolkata 700001, and by phone on +91 90070 00603. Carry your notices, FIR copy or agreements so the first sitting is useful.
A guide tells you how the law works. It cannot tell you what will happen in your case. Speak to Advocate Panchanand Shaw at the chamber at 14 Hare Street, Kolkata 700001, opposite Bankshall Court.
Every guide on this page is written for someone who has a problem in Kolkata and needs to know what happens next. That shapes the structure. Each piece opens with the practical position, then sets out the statute and the procedure, then the documents and timelines, and finally the points at which the process usually goes wrong. Case names appear only where a judgment changes what a court will do, not to decorate the page.
The legal position is stated with the section or rule that supports it, so a reader can check the source instead of taking the sentence on trust. Where the law changed recently, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam having replaced the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act, each guide gives the new provision and notes the old one, because pending files still carry the old numbering.
The Kolkata-specific part is the part that is hardest to find elsewhere: which court sits where, which magistrate's court a police station feeds into, how maintenance matters are listed at the Family Court, what a cheque-bounce complaint needs at the Bankshall Court registry, and how the Calcutta High Court's original and appellate sides divide their work. That detail comes from practice in these forums, and it is why the guides are not generic national content.
Guides are revised when a statute, rule or court practice changes, and the date on each piece reflects the last revision. They are general legal information, not advice on your facts: a guide can tell you the limitation period for a consumer complaint, but it cannot tell you when your cause of action arose. Read the procedure section first, note the dates and documents it lists, and carry both to a consultation. That is how the guides are meant to be used. If a point remains unclear, the chamber can answer it against your papers.
Tell me what happened and I will tell you what to file, where, and by when. The first conversation is free and confidential.
