Tribunal Advocacy & Injunction Defense
Where a director removal or boardroom dispute escalates into contested litigation before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), civil courts, or appellate benches, representation must be conducted by independent legal counsel:
- Tribunal Pleadings: Drafting company petitions, applications for interim injunctions under Section 242(4), and caveator filings must be signed and filed by practicing advocates holding a valid vakalatnama.
- Court Appearances: Oral arguments and appearances before NCLT benches cannot be conducted by corporate advisory entities.
- Client Selection: External representation must be retained independently through qualified legal counsel of the client's choice. CraftEgon CCS maintains no in-house litigation advocacy service, exclusive advocate referral agreements, or legal fee sharing.
