The chamber of Advocate Manish Jha is based in New Delhi. Enquiries from Gurugram and the wider National Capital Region are welcome; matters before the Gurugram district courts and other NCR forums are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the nature of the matter and the commitments of the chamber's Delhi practice.
How the Chamber Approaches NCR Matters
The chamber's practice is centred on the courts of Delhi — the district complexes, the High Court of Delhi and the Supreme Court of India. Many disputes, however, straddle the Delhi–Gurugram boundary: a family living in Gurugram with an FIR in Delhi, a marriage solemnised in Delhi with a petition filed in Gurugram, or an employer in one city and an employee in the other. For such matters the chamber first identifies the correct forum, and then advises whether it can appear itself or whether local counsel in Gurugram should be engaged, with the chamber assisting on strategy and drafting.
It should be noted plainly: the chamber does not maintain an office in Gurugram. All consultations take place at the Tagore Garden chamber in West Delhi, which is reasonably accessible from Gurugram.
Nearby Practice Focus
- Criminal defence and bail matters, including cross-border situations where the FIR and the parties are in different NCR cities;
- Divorce, maintenance, custody and domestic-violence litigation, including transfer questions between Delhi and Gurugram forums;
- Civil, property and recovery disputes with an NCR dimension.

Please mention where the matter is pending (Gurugram district courts, a Delhi court, or both), the case or FIR number, the next date, and where the parties reside. This allows the chamber to say at the outset whether it can take the matter up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the chamber have an office in Gurugram?
No. The chamber's only office is at E-397, 4th Floor, Tagore Garden Extension, New Delhi – 110027. Matters before Gurugram courts are considered on a case-by-case basis from the Delhi chamber, and consultations for such matters are also held at the Tagore Garden office.
Will the chamber appear in the Gurugram district courts?
Appearance in Gurugram is decided matter by matter, depending on the nature and stage of the case and the chamber's Delhi commitments. In some matters the chamber appears itself; in others it advises on strategy and drafting while local counsel conducts the day-to-day hearings in Gurugram.
My family is in Gurugram but the FIR is in Delhi. Where will the case run?
A criminal case is ordinarily tried where the offence is alleged to have been committed, so a Delhi FIR will generally proceed before the Delhi court having jurisdiction, whatever the parties' residence. Matrimonial petitions follow their own forum rules, and in appropriate cases transfer of proceedings can be sought. The chamber advises on forum after seeing the papers.
