The chamber of Advocate Manish Jha conducts criminal defence, bail, divorce and allied litigation across the courts of Delhi — the district court complexes, the High Court of Delhi and, where the matter requires it, the Supreme Court of India.
The Practice, in Brief
On the criminal side, the chamber defends accused persons from the investigation stage through trial and appeal — bail and anticipatory bail, offences against the person and property, cyber and economic offences, and matrimonial FIRs. On the family side, it conducts divorce, maintenance, custody and domestic-violence proceedings. The chamber appears at all the district complexes — Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Patiala House, Saket, Rohini and Dwarka — and before the High Court of Delhi.

What to Mention When You Write
A short, factual first message helps the chamber respond usefully. Please state:
- the court where the matter is pending (or the police station, if only an FIR exists);
- the FIR number or case number, and the sections or statute involved;
- the next date of hearing, if one is fixed;
- the stage of the matter — investigation, summons, charge, evidence, arguments or appeal;
- what has already been decided, such as a bail or maintenance order.
Where a hearing date is close, this should be said at the outset, so that the chamber can indicate quickly whether it is in a position to take the matter up in the time available. Consultations are held at the Tagore Garden chamber by appointment, and the fee for the engagement is discussed and settled before work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should counsel be engaged after an FIR or summons?
As early as possible. At the investigation stage, counsel can advise on the risk of arrest and the timing of an anticipatory bail application; after summons, timely appearance avoids adverse orders. Engaging counsel just before a hearing leaves little time to study the record, which is rarely in the client's interest.
Does one advocate handle both the criminal case and the divorce case?
Matrimonial disputes often produce parallel proceedings — a divorce petition, a maintenance claim, a domestic-violence complaint and a criminal FIR. The chamber routinely handles such connected matters together, since a consistent strategy across the proceedings usually serves the client better than fragmented representation.
Which courts in Delhi does the chamber appear before?
The chamber appears before all the district court complexes of Delhi — Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Patiala House, Saket, Rohini and Dwarka — as well as Tribunals, the High Court of Delhi and the Supreme Court of India, depending on where a matter lies and the remedy being pursued.
What are the chamber's consultation timings?
Consultations are by appointment, arranged by phone at +91 98738 50301 or by email at legal@advocatemanishjha.com. Court commitments occupy most mornings, so meetings at the Tagore Garden chamber are generally fixed for the later part of the day or as mutually convenient.
