Common Questions on Civil Suits & Litigation

How long does a civil suit take in Bengaluru?

Civil suits in Karnataka can take anywhere from 2 to 7 years depending on complexity and court workload. Advocate Pallavi advises on strategies like mediation, settlement, or injunctions to achieve faster outcomes where possible.

What is the court fee for filing a civil suit?

Court fees are calculated as a percentage of the claim value. Advocate Pallavi provides a clear cost estimate before filing so there are no surprises.

Can I get an urgent injunction to stop someone from selling my property?

Yes. You can apply for a temporary injunction under Order 39 of the CPC. Courts can grant urgent ex-parte orders within days if you demonstrate a prima facie case and risk of irreparable harm.

What is the difference between a civil and criminal case?

Civil cases involve disputes between private parties seeking compensation or specific remedies. Criminal cases involve the state prosecuting an individual for an offence. Some matters (like cheque dishonour) can have both civil and criminal aspects simultaneously.
