Cases solved by our team

Sumanjari & Co. Advocates is a second-generation law firm with 30+ years of legal experience and 10,000+ cases solved by its team. The firm advises individuals, families and businesses on contentious and non-contentious matters, with advocates based in Lucknow and in Delhi NCR covering connected forums.

Our Lucknow advocates appear before the Civil Court at Kaiserbagh, the Family Court, Lucknow, and the Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench, and coordinate with revenue courts, tribunals, and special courts seated in the city where a matter requires it.

As a second-generation practice, the firm combines long-standing courtroom experience with advocates handling newer areas such as cyber crime, RERA, and company law, so a client's matter is not handled generically but by the advocate whose practice area matches the dispute. The story behind the firm's name explains the values that continue to guide how we work.

We do not take on a matter without first explaining the realistic options, the forum involved, and the likely scope of work. Clients are kept informed between hearings, not only before and after them, and every engagement begins with a clear understanding of fees and expenses before work starts.

Legal Procedures & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which courts does Sumanjari & Co. Advocates practice in across Lucknow?

Our advocates appear before the Allahabad High Court (Lucknow Bench), District & Sessions Court at Qaisar Bagh, Family Court, UP-RERA, the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT), the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), and consumer commissions, according to the subject matter and jurisdiction of each case.

What documents are required to file a Writ Petition before the Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench?

A petition under Article 226, or a supervisory petition under Article 227, typically requires the impugned order or notice, relevant representations and responses, supporting records, an affidavit, identity details and a vakalatnama. Article 227 proceedings may also require certified copies of subordinate court orders and pleadings. Appeals and revisions are separate remedies with their own requirements. The applicable rules, territorial jurisdiction and registry directions determine the final filing checklist.

What is the procedure for filing a complaint before UP-RERA in Lucknow?

A complaint is generally submitted online through the official UP-RERA portal with project and party details, the relief requested, the prescribed fee and supporting documents such as the builder-buyer agreement, allotment letter, payment receipts, correspondence and evidence of project status. The competent bench and whether relief belongs before the Authority or the adjudicating officer must be checked. Follow the portal and registry directions for scrutiny, service and hearing.

What does Sumanjari & Co. Advocates handle as a law firm in Lucknow?

We handle civil, criminal, family and matrimonial, property, cyber crime, service and employment, tax and revenue, RERA, banking recovery (DRT), company and corporate, constitutional and writ, and consumer and motor accident matters before the Civil Court, the Family Court, and the Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench.

Where is your Lucknow chamber located?

Our Lucknow chamber is at Block C 105, Santushti Enclave-1, Shushant Golf City, Lucknow. Our High Court chamber remains at Block D-311, Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench, Vibhuti Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow. We also appear before the Civil Court, Kaiserbagh and the Family Court on Wala Qadar Road, Qaiserbagh, depending on the matter.

Do you only practice in Lucknow, or also elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh and NCR?

Our Lucknow team practises across Uttar Pradesh, including the districts under the Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench, and the Principal Seat at Prayagraj. We also have advocates handling matters in Delhi NCR; see our team directory for each advocate's specific courts and locations.

How do I book a consultation with your Lucknow team?

You can call or WhatsApp the chamber directly, or use the contact form on this site. Share a brief description of your matter and relevant documents so the right advocate can be identified for an initial consultation.

Do you handle cases for NRIs connected to Lucknow?

Yes. We assist non-resident Indians with property, inheritance, power of attorney, and family matters connected to Lucknow and Uttar Pradesh, including representation where personal appearance is difficult. See our NRI legal services page for details.

What should I bring to a first consultation?

Bring identity and address proof, any notices, FIRs, orders, contracts, or correspondence relevant to your matter, and a brief written chronology if possible. Each practice area page on this site lists the specific documents useful for that type of case.

Can I consult your Lucknow team remotely?

Yes, where travel is impractical, an initial consultation can usually be arranged by phone or video call. Certain filings, affidavits, and hearings still require personal appearance, a properly executed vakalatnama, or original documents, which we flag early so there are no surprises.

Do you represent both individuals and businesses?

Yes. We act for individuals and families in personal matters such as divorce, property, and criminal defence, and for businesses and professionals in commercial, employment, tax, and regulatory matters, each handled by the advocate whose practice area matches the dispute.

How are professional fees decided?

Fees depend on the scope of work, the forum, the complexity of the matter, and whether representation is for a single hearing, full litigation, or ongoing advisory work. We explain the proposed scope and fee arrangement after reviewing the matter, kept separate from court fees and other expenses.

Can I be connected with a specific advocate for my matter?

Yes. Each advocate's profile in our team directory lists their individual practice areas and the courts they appear before. After an initial review of your matter, we connect you with the advocate whose experience best matches it.
