For colleagues at the Bar

An Ernakulam end for your High Court matters

I accept briefs from advocates across Kerala for matters before the High Court of Kerala. My office at High Court Junction, Ernakulam functions as the Ernakulam end many district practices need — with professional courtesies strictly maintained, always.

On instruction

What I take up on instruction

  • Fresh filings — writ petitions, bail and anticipatory bail applications, quash petitions, criminal and civil appeals, revisions, and consumer appeals to the State Commission.
  • Drafting support — petitions, grounds, synopses and replies prepared to your instructions and returned for your review or your own filing.
  • Registry work — filing, curing defects, certified copies, and follow-up that does not require you to travel.
  • Mentioning and urgent motions — when a matter needs to be before the court today, proximity matters.
  • Appearances — as instructed: alone, or with you appearing alongside via video where the court permits.
  • Cyber and IT Act briefs — where a district matter turns on digital evidence or IT Act charges, I assist as co-counsel with the technology-law depth this practice is built on.

How it runs

How an engagement runs

  1. You write or call with the matter's outline — no formality needed at this stage.
  2. I confirm scope in writing — what I will do, by when, and on what terms, so there is never ambiguity between colleagues.
  3. Papers move digitally; we align on strategy before anything is filed.
  4. You receive status reports after every filing and listing — without having to ask.
  5. The matter concludes; the file, and the client relationship, remain entirely yours.

The understanding

The professional understanding

Work between colleagues runs on trust, and I hold three rules absolute: your client is never approached except through you; your instructions define the brief; and fee arrangements between us are settled clearly, in advance, in writing. These are the courtesies I would expect in your chambers, practised from mine.

FAQ

Common questions

Does my client become your client?
No. Your client remains yours, and the professional relationship stays exactly as you define it. I act on your instructions for the High Court matter — as filing counsel, drafting support, or appearing counsel as agreed — and every development is reported to you, not around you.
How do papers and instructions move?
Digitally, almost entirely. Scanned briefs over email or WhatsApp, a call to align on strategy, and drafts shared for your review before filing. Physical papers, where genuinely needed, can be couriered to the office at High Court Junction.
What about matters you cannot take?
Conflicts, subject matter outside my competence, or timelines I cannot honestly meet — I say so at once, and where I can, I point you to a colleague who fits. A clear no within a day is part of the professional courtesy this page promises.
Do you also take drafting-only work from firms?
Yes. Writ petitions, appeals and grounds, complaints, replies and opinions, drafted to your format and returned for your own filing — with your name on the record and mine nowhere, if that is how you work.
