# Counsel at Ernakulam, on your instructions

Advocates practising elsewhere in Kerala may brief me as counsel at Ernakulam for drafting, filing, mentioning and appearance before the High Court of Kerala and the courts at Ernakulam. I act only on your brief: the client relationship and the file remain with you.

On instruction

## Work I take up on instruction

Digital evidence, IT Act and DPDP

Co-counsel support where a matter turns on electronic records, IT Act charges or data protection. See [cyber crime](https://advaslam.com/practice/cyber-crime/) and [data protection](https://advaslam.com/practice/data-protection/).

High Court filings

Writ petitions and OP(C) under Article 227, bail and anticipatory bail, quash petitions, criminal and civil appeals and revisions, and writ appeals. See [High Court writs](https://advaslam.com/practice/high-court-litigation/) and [criminal law](https://advaslam.com/practice/criminal/).

Ernakulam courts

Civil suits and appeals, Family Court matters, MACT claims and appeals, Consumer Commission complaints and appeals, and Magistrate courts. See [civil and consumer](https://advaslam.com/practice/civil-consumer/) and [family and succession](https://advaslam.com/practice/family-succession/).

Drafting support

Petitions, grounds, synopses and replies prepared to your instructions and returned for your review or your own filing. See [legal drafting](https://advaslam.com/practice/drafting/).

Registry work

Filing, curing defects, certified copies and follow-up, without your having to travel.

Mentioning and appearances

As instructed: on my own, or alongside you where you join by video and the court permits.

Appearance before the Kerala and Central Administrative Tribunals (the Original Application is drafted here, and the OP(KAT) or OP(CAT) is handled in the High Court), the DRT and DRAT, the NCLT and NCLAT, and the ESI and PF authorities is referred to counsel who practise there, as are matters in courts outside Kerala.

How it runs

## How an engagement runs

1.  **Outline.** You write or call with an outline of the matter and the relief sought.
2.  **Scope.** I confirm in writing what I will do and by when.
3.  **Papers.** They move digitally, and we settle the approach before anything is filed.
4.  **Reports.** You receive a status report after each filing and listing.
5.  **Close.** A closing report when the matter concludes.

The understanding

## The professional understanding

-   Your client is approached only through you.
-   Your instructions define the brief.
-   The file remains with you.

FAQ

## Common questions

**Does the client relationship stay with me?**

Yes. Instructions come through you, and every development is reported to you, whether I act as filing counsel, drafting support or appearing counsel. Where I file a vakalath or appear in the matter, I also owe your client the professional duties any advocate on record owes.

**Which courts and forums do you cover?**

I appear before: High Court of Kerala; District & Sessions Courts, Ernakulam; Sub Courts and Munsiff Courts, Ernakulam (including Rent Control Courts); Family Court, Ernakulam; Chief Judicial Magistrate and Judicial First Class Magistrate Courts, Ernakulam; Commercial Court, Ernakulam; Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Ernakulam; Labour Court and Industrial Tribunal, Ernakulam; District and State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions; K-RERA and the Real Estate Appellate Tribunal; Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council; Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and GST Appellate Tribunal; Data Protection Board of India and TDSAT. Appearance before the Kerala and Central Administrative Tribunals (the Original Application is drafted here, and the OP(KAT) or OP(CAT) is handled in the High Court), the DRT and DRAT, the NCLT and NCLAT, and the ESI and PF authorities is referred to counsel who practise there, as are matters in courts outside Kerala.

**How do papers and instructions move?**

Mostly digitally: scanned papers over email or WhatsApp, a call to settle the approach, and drafts shared for your review before filing. Physical papers, where needed, can be sent to the office at High Court Junction.

**What about matters you cannot take?**

Where there is a conflict, or the matter or its timeline is beyond what I can take on, I say so at the outset and, where possible, suggest a colleague.

**Do you also take drafting-only work?**

Yes. Petitions, appeals and grounds, complaints, replies and opinions, drafted to your format and returned for your own filing, with your name on the record if that is how you work.
