Disclaimer

Last updated: 12 November 2026.

Information, not advice

Everything published on this website is general information about Indian law and about the practice of Advocate Panchanand Shaw. It is written to help you understand a situation and decide whether to seek advice. It is not legal advice on your matter, and it should not be relied on as if it were.

Legal outcomes turn on specific facts, documents and dates. An article that describes how a provision generally operates cannot tell you how it applies to you. Please speak to an advocate before acting or deciding not to act.

No advocate-client relationship

Reading this website, telephoning the chamber or sending a message does not by itself create an advocate-client relationship. That relationship begins only when the chamber has confirmed it will act for you, has completed a conflict check, and you have agreed the terms of engagement. Until then, no one at the chamber is responsible for protecting your position, and time limits may continue to run.

If a deadline applies to your matter, treat it as live and seek advice immediately rather than waiting for a reply to a general enquiry.

Professional rules

An advocate in India is not permitted to advertise or to solicit work. This website is published for information, not as an advertisement or an invitation to instruct. Nothing on it should be read as a claim of superiority over any other advocate, and no comparison with other practitioners is intended.

Accuracy and currency

Indian law changes, and provisions are amended, replaced and judicially interpreted over time. Articles on this site carry the date they were published and are reviewed periodically, but a page may not reflect the law as it stands today. Statutory references are given to help you identify the provision, not to substitute for the text of the statute.

No guarantee is given that any page is complete, current or free of error, and no guarantee is given about the outcome of any matter. Past results described anywhere on this site do not predict the result of your case.

External links

This site links to services operated by others, including Google Maps and WhatsApp. Those services are outside the chamber's control and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. A link is not an endorsement and the chamber is not responsible for their content.

Jurisdiction

This website concerns Indian law and the courts of Kolkata and West Bengal. It is not intended for anyone seeking advice on the law of another country, and it does not offer legal services outside India. Use of the site is governed by Indian law.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, the chamber accepts no liability for loss arising from reliance on general information published here, or from any interruption in the availability of this website. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

How to instruct the chamber

To obtain advice on your own matter, telephone +91 90070 00603 or message the chamber on WhatsApp, and ask for a consultation. The chamber sits at 14 Hare Street, Kolkata 700001, opposite Bankshall Court.
