Delhi
There is no chamber in Delhi. Matters pending before courts in Delhi are conducted where a case genuinely requires it — most often where an FIR was registered in Delhi or the cause of action arose there — and are prepared at the Bareilly chamber, with the advocate travelling for hearings. Whether a Delhi matter can properly be taken up is assessed case by case.
Matters conducted in Delhi
Representation before courts in Delhi is undertaken where a matter genuinely requires it — most commonly criminal matters where the FIR was registered in Delhi, or where a client from the Bareilly region faces proceedings there.
Being clear about the position
There is no chamber in Delhi. The only chamber is at Chamber Number 4A, Civil Court, Bareilly. Delhi matters are prepared there and the advocate travels for hearings.
Where a client from Bareilly or the surrounding districts faces proceedings in Delhi, having one chamber conduct both sides of the matter keeps the papers, the instructions and the strategy consistent across both courts.
