He has filed a case for partition of the ancestral property.
When it will come to notice of the court that the property has been gifted then partition suit will not be maintainable.
In such a circumstance, can not a complaint be made to the State Bar Council to take disciplinary action against such advocate for clearly wasting his clients' and court's time and money and bringing disrepute to the profession?
I suggest rent one for a week and see how it changes your life and matches your expectations overall.
There is no dream higher than freedom.
And there is always a better dream car than the present dream car.
It’s always been a dream of mine to own a proper sports car, and I’m seriously considering buying a BMW M340i, which costs about 80L on-road. Financially, I can make it work — the EMI would be around 50–60K, which is manageable on my current income. My parents are retired Grade A civil servants and are financially stable, so I don’t have any family obligations or dependencies and may get a decent inheritance given I am the only child.
That said, I’m aware this kind of lifestyle upgrade comes with long-term implications. Right now, I have the freedom to walk away from my corporate job if things get too stressful, mainly because I have no liabilities. Taking on this EMI would change that dynamic — not drastically, but it would tie me down to some extent.
I’m conflicted between sticking to the “financial wisdom” of avoiding lifestyle inflation vs. going for something that has been a lifelong dream. Realistically, I’ll probably earn more over the years, but I also know I won’t be in my 20s forever — this is probably the only time a sports car will actually feel as fun as I imagine it to be.
So I’m wondering: for others in the profession or in a similar life stage, what would you do? Would you stay the course or get the dream car?
exposé-style LinkedIn posts or nasty emails telling the seniors what utter fuckwhits they are. Leave that for later in life.
This shit is real folks!!!
Given this trend, I wanted to ask:
1. Which law firms are actively hiring for their Capital Markets teams in the next few couple of years?
2. Are firms planning to expand their teams significantly to accommodate the rising number of deals?
3. What skills should law students (Batch of 2025 & 2026) develop to be well-positioned for these roles?
Would love to hear insights from those already working in the sector or those who have visibility on hiring trends. Any thoughts?
2. Costs?
3. Benefits?
4. Worth it?
However, seeing my peers at law firms earn so much, makes me really want to switch to a firm.
Litigation is also very unpredictable, but can be very cumbersome as well if you're in a drafting office.
I am still deliberating if going for a law firm (disputes or some niche field but getting demoted to a lower level) is worth the money and the stable growrh.
easier to find a good M&A team compared to the other two based on sheer probability
not all firms have full fledged cap marks practices in delhi
all of them are transferable to foreign jurisdictions BUT cap marks and b&f more so
all are transactional take what you get the team is more important that the practice area
Omega or Timex?
Such is the question.
If you’ve gotten into National Law School, Bangalore, then honestly, without a doubt — go there. The kind of exposure and opportunities you’ll get, especially in terms of faculty and the overall environment, is on another level. Even if you’re not super academically inclined right now (at 17, 18, or whatever age), it will make a huge difference in the long run.
NUJS, in comparison, has a fairly insipid faculty lineup. Maybe one or two are relatively decent, but even they aren’t particularly standout. The administration is also quite difficult to deal with.
Sure, the student pool across top ranks is somewhat similar, so you’ll have good peers either way. But NLS offers something more — just being around people working in legal anthropology, ethnographic research, social justice, and so on. Even if you're pursuing mainstream legal careers, being in that kind of space opens up new ways of thinking. Over five years, that matters.
Of course, NLS has its flaws too — it’s a public institution, so there will be politics and the usual messiness. But if you just look through their News and Events page, the kind of things that happen there regularly are amazing. Even by osmosis, you’ll grow a lot.
I understand if you have personal reasons for wanting to stay in Kolkata, but really — Bangalore is just a short flight away. And with the trimester system, you get enough breaks to come back home, do internships in Kolkata, etc. You’ll be able to balance things out.
Anyway, just wanted to say this openly — I really hope you choose the path that’s right for you. But if you’re deciding between these two, my vote is strongly for NLS.
if yes, i’d be grateful if this community can help locating the chamber/firm, much obliged!
ps: the metropolitan magistrate’s court would still be functional during june no matter what.
Don't look at what others are getting
I would appreciate suggestions for Good law chambers or firms in Bengaluru that offer long-term internships with the possibility of a PPO. My primary interest lies in criminal practice.

Though I'd recommend you to stay away from corp law firms, most of them are toxic in some or the other way. Most people go into them only because they need money and can't afford litigation or can't do it.
You should definitely give litigation a shot, given that money is not an issue, you'll be working at your terms and the work also is more fulfilling. It's a good life. Just without pay for a good long period of time.
