Why Us?
Experienced and Young Lawyers competent in representing cases at GRT, SSRD, High Court, and Supreme Court, as Land Revenue Cases are highly intertwined and thus an SSRD Lawyer cannot work in isolation. Well-researched and intricate fact collection needed as there could be multiple possibilities to help the argument with effective representation skills. Thus, your SSRD Lawyers ought to have the ability to assess all those before presenting the same before the court. Note that the High Court also exercises Writ Appellate Jurisdiction, also known as Letters Patent Appeal. Therefore, while filing a Revenue Writ petition before High Court, the original case must be properly drafted and precisely represented. Also, all the Revenue Laws stem from the requirement of Land Reforms in India post-independence. So your SSRD lawyers need to have an understanding of the detailed philosophy of Land Reforms and the utility of the act. Knowledge of diverse areas of Revenue Laws is beneficial as what could work as an appropriate remedy for the case is always circumstantial.
