Disclaimer

As per the rules of the Bar Council of India

The Bar Council of India does not permit advertisement or solicitation of work by advocates in any form. Rule 36 of the Bar Council of India Rules, read with Section 49(1) of the Advocates Act, 1961, restricts what an advocate or a firm of advocates may publish about itself. This website has been prepared with those restrictions in mind.

By accessing this website, you acknowledge and confirm that you are seeking information about Jhunjhunwala Legal of your own accord, and that:

• there has been no advertisement, personal communication, solicitation, invitation or inducement of any kind from the firm or any of its members to solicit work through this website;
• you wish to gain more information about the firm for your own information and use;
• the information about the firm is provided only on your specific request, and any material you download from this site is downloaded entirely at your discretion;
• no information on this website should be construed as legal advice, and the firm is not liable for any consequence of any action taken in reliance on it.

The same acknowledgement is presented when you first arrive at the site. Recording it is a matter of compliance, not of contract: it does not create any obligation on your part and does not engage the firm.

Purpose of this website

This website exists so that a person who already wishes to know about the firm can find out who we are, what areas of law we work in, and how to get in touch. It is a description of a practice, not an offer of services, and it makes no claim about the quality of our work or the outcome of any matter.

Nothing published here — including practice-area descriptions, illustrative mandates, articles, and any figures relating to the firm’s experience — should be read as a promise, a guarantee, a warranty, or a prediction. Past matters are described in general terms and do not indicate what will happen in yours. Every matter turns on its own facts.

No legal advice

The content of this website is general information prepared for a general audience. It is not legal advice, it is not a substitute for legal advice, and it must not be relied upon as either. Legal advice requires the facts of a specific situation, the documents that record it, and an assessment of the law as it stands at the relevant time.

The law in India changes, and material published here may become out of date without being amended. Where an article carries a date, it reflects the position on that date only. The firm assumes no obligation to update any page.

Do not act, or refrain from acting, on anything you read on this website without taking advice on your own circumstances from a qualified advocate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the firm, its partners, associates and employees disclaim all liability for any loss or damage arising from any use of, or reliance on, the contents of this website.

No lawyer–client relationship

Reading this website, downloading material from it, subscribing to anything on it, or sending us a message through the enquiry form or by email does not create a lawyer–client relationship between you and Jhunjhunwala Legal.

A relationship arises only when the firm has completed a conflicts check, confirmed in writing that it is able and willing to act, and agreed the scope of the work and the basis of its fees with you. Until that happens, we are not your lawyers and we owe you no duty in respect of your matter.

It follows that you should not send us confidential or privileged material through this website. Information sent before an engagement is confirmed may not attract professional privilege, and — because we may already act for another party with an adverse interest — we cannot undertake to treat unsolicited material as confidential. Please send a short description of the subject matter first, and wait for our reply before sending documents.

Nothing on this site should be taken as an invitation or inducement to engage the firm. Time limits apply to most legal claims in India; delay caused by waiting for a response from us is not a ground on which the firm accepts responsibility.

Third-party links and content

This website contains links to external sites — statutes and judgments on official repositories, the Bar Council of India, professional bodies, and similar sources. Those links are provided for convenience only.

The firm does not control, monitor, endorse or accept responsibility for the content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices of any external site, and a link should not be read as approval of the organisation behind it. Once you follow a link you are governed by the terms and the privacy policy of that site, not by ours.

Where we quote or summarise legislation, rules, or a judgment, we do so in our own words for the reader’s convenience. The official text prevails over anything said here.

Intellectual property

The text, layout, photographs, graphics and name appearing on this website belong to Jhunjhunwala Legal or are used under licence. You may read, print and copy this material for your own personal, non-commercial reference.

You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, adapt, or use any part of this website for commercial purposes, or hold yourself out as connected with the firm, without our prior written permission.

Governing law and jurisdiction

This disclaimer, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this website or its contents, is governed by the laws of India.

The courts at New Delhi have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute or claim, and you submit to that jurisdiction by using this website. The firm makes no representation that the material on this site is appropriate, or available for use, in any jurisdiction outside India; where access from a particular jurisdiction would be contrary to law, it is not offered.

Our lawyers are enrolled with the relevant State Bar Council in India and practise Indian law. We do not hold ourselves out as qualified to advise on the law of any other country.
