Our Offices in Dwarka and Vaishali, and Associate Offices

Where are your offices?

We have two offices. The Delhi office is in Sector 7, Dwarka, on Ramphal Chowk Road near ICICI Bank, Palam Extension, New Delhi 110077. The Ghaziabad office is Office 1203 in the Cloud9 building, Tower S3, Vaishali Sector 1, a short walk from Vaishali Metro station.

Both offices are open Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm. Meetings are by appointment, because the advocates are often in court in the mornings, and we would rather you did not travel only to find that the advocate you came to see is at Tis Hazari or the Surajpur court. Call or WhatsApp +91 96259 61599, or email advocates@legals365.com, and we will fix a time that suits you.

How do I reach the Dwarka office?

The Dwarka office is on Ramphal Chowk Road in Sector 7, near the ICICI Bank branch, on the Palam Extension side. Ramphal Chowk is a well-known landmark in the area, and most auto-rickshaw and cab drivers know it. If you are coming by metro, the Blue Line runs through Dwarka, and the office is a short auto or cab ride from the nearby Dwarka stations.

When we confirm your appointment we send a location pin on WhatsApp, which is the easiest way to find the building. If you are driving, allow extra time at the start and end of office hours, when the roads around the Dwarka markets get crowded. If you need help with access, tell us when you book and we will arrange the meeting accordingly.

How do I reach the Vaishali office?

The Vaishali office is in the Cloud9 building in Vaishali Sector 1, Ghaziabad: Tower S3, Office 1203. It is near Vaishali Metro station, the end of the Blue Line branch that runs from Yamuna Bank through East Delhi, so it is easy to reach by metro from central and East Delhi as well as from Ghaziabad and Indirapuram. From Noida it is a short drive.

Come to Tower S3 and ask for Office 1203. The building has its own security desk, which may ask for your name and the office you are visiting. As with Dwarka, we send a location pin when we confirm the meeting, and you can call the number above if you cannot find the tower.

Which courts does each office cover?

Both offices serve the whole of Delhi NCR, but the travel time to each court shapes which office we work from on a given day. This is the usual pattern.

The table is a guide to travel, not to who handles what. Either advocate may appear in any of these courts, and a meeting can be held at either office whatever court your case is in.

Do you cover courts in Noida and Ghaziabad?

Yes, regularly. The Vaishali office is close to the Ghaziabad district court and within reach of the Gautam Buddh Nagar district court at Surajpur, which hears matters from Noida and Greater Noida. Bail applications, civil suits, family cases and cheque bounce complaints in these courts are handled directly by the firm.

One point surprises people. Noida and Ghaziabad are in Uttar Pradesh, so appeals, revisions, bail applications after rejection by the Sessions Court, and petitions to quash an FIR lie to the Allahabad High Court, not the Delhi High Court. A case registered at a Noida police station cannot be quashed in Delhi just because you live in Delhi. We explain the right forum at the first meeting and, where the High Court is involved, work with counsel there.

What about Gurugram and Faridabad?

We take matters from Gurugram and Faridabad, and the Dwarka office is the nearer of the two for Gurugram. Depending on how often a case is listed, we either appear ourselves or work with local counsel for routine dates. Homebuyer complaints against Gurugram projects go to the Haryana RERA authority at Gurugram, and appeals from Haryana courts lie to the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh. Property disputes there are explained on our real estate laws page.

For a High Court matter in Chandigarh, we prepare the case and work with counsel who appear there regularly, and Advocate B.K. Singh appears for hearings where his presence is useful. You are told in advance who will appear on which date, and what each arrangement costs.

What are associate offices?

Associate offices are the chambers of independent advocates in other cities with whom we work on particular matters. They are not branches of B.K. Singh & Associates, they do not carry our name, and we do not present them as part of the firm. Each associate counsel runs their own practice and is engaged on a specific case, with your consent and on written terms.

The arrangement exists because litigation is local. A case in a district court three hundred kilometres away will have many short dates, and a local advocate who is in that court every day can attend them, check the order sheet and inspect the file at a fraction of the cost of an advocate travelling from Delhi. The advocates who act for the firm are listed on Our Associates.

When we pick associate counsel, the questions are practical ones. Do they appear in that court regularly? Will they actually attend the routine dates, rather than send someone else without telling us? Do they report promptly and in writing? And do they have any connection with the other side? An advocate who fails any of these is not someone we would put in front of your case.

How do associate counsel arrangements work in other cities?

The usual division is simple: we keep the strategy and the drafting, and associate counsel handles the local work. That means filing in the registry, attending dates on which nothing substantive is expected, obtaining certified copies and reporting back after each date. For the hearings that matter, such as bail, framing of charge, final arguments or an interim injunction, Advocate B.K. Singh usually appears himself, or argues by video where the court allows it.

Before anyone is engaged you are told their name, the court where they practise and what they will do. Their fee is agreed in writing, stage by stage, just as ours is, and travel and other out-of-pocket costs are listed separately. If you already have a lawyer you trust in that city, we can work with them instead. In the Supreme Court, filing is done through an Advocate-on-Record, as the rules require; see our Supreme Court practice page.

Can I consult a lawyer by video call?

Yes. Video consultations work well for a first meeting, for follow-ups, and for clients outside Delhi NCR or abroad. We use ordinary video calling tools, including WhatsApp video, and fix the time in advance so that the advocate has read your papers before the call. A video consultation is treated exactly like an office meeting: it is confidential, and fees are discussed and agreed in writing in the same way.

Some things still need a visit or a courier. Original documents may have to be seen before they are filed, a vakalatnama usually needs your signature on paper, and some affidavits must be sworn before an oath commissioner or notary. We tell you in advance which of these apply, so that you make one trip, not three. If you need a format such as a vakalatnama or affidavit, ask us for the current one; the forms page explains the common ones.

How does a video consultation work?

The process is short, and most of it happens before the call.

1. Send a note and the papers

   Write a short note of what happened and send the key documents through the enquiry form, WhatsApp or email. Clear phone photos are fine to begin with.

2. We read and reply

   Advocate Sadhna Singh reads what you sent, asks for anything missing and tells you whether the matter is urgent. Urgent matters go to Advocate B.K. Singh the same day.

3. Fix the time

   A time is fixed for the call with the advocate who will lead your matter. You are told the platform and sent a link or number.

4. The consultation

   The advocate explains where you stand, the options and the deadlines. Keep your papers in front of you, and note the next steps before the call ends.

5. What follows

   If you decide to go ahead, the terms are sent in writing. Anything that needs your signature or an original document is arranged by courier or a single office visit.

Do Delhi courts allow online hearings?

Many do, for some matters, but practice varies by court and changes from time to time. The Supreme Court, the Delhi High Court and several tribunals have arrangements for hybrid or video hearings, and some district courts allow parties or advocates to join by video in suitable cases. Delhi has also set up digital courts for some categories of cheque bounce cases.

Whether you can appear online on a particular date depends on the court, the stage of the case and the order of the presiding officer. Do not assume a video hearing is available because it was available last time. We check the current practice for your court before each date and tell you whether you must attend in person.

If you are allowed to join by video, treat it as a courtroom. Join early from a quiet room with a stable connection, keep your identity proof at hand, dress as you would for court, and keep your microphone off until you are asked to speak. A party who drops off the call at the wrong moment can lose a date.

What if I cannot attend court on a date?

Tell us as early as possible, with the reason. In a criminal case the accused can apply for exemption from personal appearance for a particular date, and courts usually allow it for a genuine reason such as illness, an examination or travel that was booked earlier, supported by a document. Repeated absence without good reason can lead to warrants, so this is not something to handle by simply staying away.

In civil and family cases your presence is needed mainly for evidence, statements and mediation; on most other dates your advocate appears for you. In a mutual consent divorce both parties must record statements, and some courts allow a party abroad to do so by video. We tell you in advance which dates need you, so that you plan leave and travel around them.

Can you meet someone in jail or police custody?

Yes. Advocates can meet a client in judicial custody by following the jail's procedure for legal interviews, which usually means a vakalatnama, identity proof and a booked slot. In Delhi that includes the Tihar, Rohini and Mandoli jails; for Ghaziabad, the district jail at Dasna; and for Gautam Buddh Nagar, the district jail at Luksar. A meeting in custody is often the first chance to hear the accused's own account and to get the vakalatnama signed for a bail application.

In police custody, the BNSS allows an arrested person to meet an advocate during interrogation, though not necessarily throughout it. Family members can help most by sending us the FIR number, the police station, the date and time of arrest and the next court date. The bail lawyer page explains what happens next.

Which office should I come to?

Come to whichever is easier for you to reach; both advocates use both offices. As a rough guide, clients from West and South West Delhi, Gurugram and the airport side usually come to Dwarka, while clients from East Delhi, Ghaziabad, Indirapuram and Noida usually come to Vaishali. If your case is in a particular court, we may suggest the office nearer that court so that a meeting can be fitted around a hearing.

If the advocate you want is in court near the other office that day, we will tell you when we fix the time. Nobody should travel across the city for a meeting that then has to be rescheduled.

For a company, a family or a group of co-owners, tell us how many people will attend and who will give instructions. Where several people have different interests in the same dispute, such as siblings in a partition, we may need to speak to each of them separately before we can act for any of them.

What does a first meeting at the office cover?

A first meeting has one job: to leave you knowing where you stand. The advocate will already have read what you sent, so the meeting starts with the questions the papers raise rather than a full retelling. Expect to be asked for dates, names and documents, and to be told plainly if something you hoped would help does not.

By the end you should know the deadline that applies, the options open to you with their realistic outcomes, what each option involves in stages and time, and what you should do, or avoid doing, this week. Fees are discussed at this meeting and then agreed in writing, stage by stage; court fees and other out-of-pocket costs are separate. If the right answer is that you do not need a lawyer for this, or not yet, you will hear that too.

Nothing is filed or sent on your behalf without your instructions. If you want time to think, or to talk it over with family, take it, unless a deadline makes that unwise, in which case we will say so clearly.

How can I check my case status before calling?

Most court cases in Delhi NCR can be tracked online. District court cases in Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad have a CNR number, printed on the summons or available from the court record, which you can enter on the eCourts services website or app to see the next date, the stage and recent orders. The Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court have their own case status pages, searchable by case number or party name, and most tribunals publish cause lists.

Checking yourself does not replace your advocate's update, because the online entry is sometimes brief or delayed and does not explain what an order means. But it helps you ask better questions, and it is a good habit for anyone with a pending case. If you do not know your case number or CNR number, send us whatever you have, such as a summons or an old order, and we will find it.

Before you visit either office

A few things make an office visit more useful.

• Confirm the appointment by phone or WhatsApp the day before, especially if your matter is listed in court that week
• Bring copies of the notice, order, FIR, agreement or other papers, and keep the originals with you unless asked to leave them
• Carry identity proof; for a company, bring the authority letter or board resolution
• Note the next date of hearing and the court and courtroom number, if you know them
• Write down your questions in advance, with the names and dates you might forget
• If someone is coming with you, tell us beforehand; in some matters we may need to speak to you alone
• Allow time for traffic and for building security at both offices

Can I bring documents in Hindi or another language?

Yes. Many documents in Delhi NCR are in Hindi, and the district courts in Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad deal with Hindi documents every day. Revenue records, older sale deeds and police papers are often in Hindi or contain Urdu terms, and we read them as they are.

Translations become necessary when a matter goes to a court that works in English. The Supreme Court requires English translations of documents in other languages, and the Delhi High Court generally expects them too. If your case may go up, keep that in mind early, because certified translations of a large record take time and cost money.

Are the offices open on Sundays and holidays?

The offices are open Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm, and closed on Sundays; on public holidays, check with us before you come. Courts follow their own calendars, with summer and winter vacations when only vacation benches sit, and we plan meetings around them.

Urgent legal problems do not keep office hours. If someone has been arrested, a raid is under way or a notice expires before the next working day, call or WhatsApp the number on this page rather than waiting. Vacation benches and duty magistrates exist for genuine urgencies, and we will tell you whether yours is one. For non-urgent matters, the online enquiry can be sent at any time and is read when the office opens.

Can you meet me at the court or at my home?

Sometimes. If your case is listed and the advocate is already at that court, a short meeting before or after the hearing is often the most practical option, and we may suggest it. Court premises are crowded and not private, though, so anything sensitive is better discussed at the office or by video.

Home visits are not usual. Where a client is elderly, unwell or in hospital and a signature or a statement is needed, tell us and we will work out what can be done: a video call, a family member acting under proper authority, or a visit in a genuine case.

How is confidentiality kept at the offices?

What you tell us is confidential whether you say it in Dwarka, in Vaishali, on a video call or in a WhatsApp message. Meetings are held in private, papers are kept in the file for your matter, and documents shared with associate counsel are limited to what their part of the work needs.

Two practical points help. Avoid sending documents from a shared family email or phone if the matter is one the family should not see. And if you bring someone into the meeting, remember that what is said in front of a third person may not stay protected in the same way. Our privacy policy explains how information sent through the website is handled.
