A professional legal knowledge platform offering legal updates, case-law analysis, practical litigation guidance and research resources for advocates, law students, businesses and housing societies.
Advocates appearing in Maharashtra trial courts and the High Court regularly face pressure to secure immediate protection for clients. This note restates practical habits that keep urgent applications accurate, proportionate, and usable for the court without turning the chamber note into advice on a live brief.
A practical, source-checked guide to India's official eCourts services: tracking a case by CNR number, cause lists, orders and judgments, e-filing, ePay, virtual courts and eSewa Kendras. It also covers basic safety steps against fake court websites and "digital arrest" frauds.
Yeshwant Legal Associates keeps a network for students and juniors who want supervised chamber work. The place to join is join.ylaworks.com. Joining is not a job, a brief, or enrolment.
Since 9 March 2019, section 154B-13 of the MCS Act governs what a housing society does when a member dies. A valid nomination must be honoured, but only by admitting the nominee as a provisional member. Who finally holds the flat is decided by the will or the law of succession.
Indian law caps payment to micro and small suppliers at 45 days, with interest and a tax sting for late buyers. An October 2026 reading note for startups.
The Supreme Court has issued notice on petitions asking whether decisions of the Election Commission were taken in line with Article 324 and Section 18 of the 2023 Act. Here is what the law says about how a multi-member Commission must decide, and what remains undecided.
On 28 November 2025 the Supreme Court held that a development agreement validly terminated before a developer's insolvency is not an 'asset' protected by the IBC moratorium, and upheld a Bombay High Court writ directing authorities to process a housing society's redevelopment proposal with a new developer.
The May 2026 judgment upholds the Bihar special intensive revision as a proportionate use of the Election Commission’s power. It is not a blank cheque for every later change to Form 6.
For a society whose year ends on 31 March, 30 September is the outer limit in section 75. This is the desk’s framework for notices, hybrid meetings, and what a late AGM cannot cure.
A development agreement does not improve a bad title. In Navi Mumbai the land is often CIDCO leasehold. In Thane the revenue record, the planning limit and the conveyance each have to be read.
The High Court is not the first forum for a section 13(4) measure. It does still look hard at whether the section 13(2) notice and the section 13(3A) reply were real.
A will does not pass a CIDCO lease by itself, it does not sweep a coparcenary, and in Mumbai it often cannot be acted on until probate. Nomination is a different question.
The dangerous paper is not the hostile one. It is the two-page understanding between friends that never reaches the articles, never assigns the code, and splits the company in half with no way out.
A model can arrange a list of dates. It cannot sign the vakalatnama, and it is no answer when a citation in the paper book does not exist. Client papers do not belong in a public prompt.
Urgency is not a paragraph of adjectives. On the appellate side a list of dates and a short proposition do more than a long petition that hides the point in an annexure.
