Civil & Commercial Litigation

Protecting Your Business and Property Rights Through Strategic Legal Action

Contract Disputes

Contracts are the foundation of all commercial relationships. When a party breaches a contract — whether by non-payment, non-performance, or misrepresentation — you have legal remedies. Pramod Kumar Bhardwaj ADR advises and represents clients in:

•         Recovery of outstanding payments due under contracts

•         Enforcement of contractual obligations

•         Damages for breach of contract

•         Specific performance suits

•         Disputes regarding terms, interpretation, and validity of contracts

MSME Payment Recovery

The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (MSMED Act) provides that buyers must make payment to MSME suppliers within 45 days of acceptance. If payment is delayed, compound interest at three times the bank rate is payable.

The MSME Samadhaan portal allows MSME suppliers to file online applications before the Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council (MSEFC) for recovery of dues — which, once determined, may be referred to arbitration. Pramod Kumar Bhardwaj ADR assists MSMEs with these recovery processes.

Recovery Suits

Where there is a clear outstanding debt — whether from a cheque dishonour, a loan, a sale, or unpaid invoices — civil courts provide effective mechanisms for recovery, including through Order XXXVII of the Code of Civil Procedure (Summary Suits for negotiable instruments and written contracts).

Injunctions

When urgent interim relief is needed to prevent irreparable harm — such as stopping a party from disposing of assets, breaching a restrictive covenant, or committing an act in violation of your rights — the courts may grant injunctions. Mr. Bhardwaj has experience in civil matters requiring urgent interim applications.
