Client Testimonials

"By far the best legal document drafting expert! I’ve been struggling with a false 498/406 and DV case from last 2 years and so far met 20+ Different lawyers from lower court to high court, but the major difference I see in Sahil is his intentions of making me out of this situation so that I can be a free man. Only a 30 min discussion with Sahil was an eye opener to me. Now I'm feeling more confident that such cases can also be defended and law can be moved from women-centric to men-centric. I have asked Sahil for a ‘bayan’ for my DV case which he, after analyzing 50+ documents, has made it in a lightning speed time of 24 hours. I would also say I was surprised that he didn’t forget to mention even a single nook of any statement that could be in my favor. I would highly recommend anyone for a free 30 min call that can give a new hopeful direction; without losing anything."

"Sahil is one of the best brains to help someone to fight these kinds of cases. His grasping power is awesome to understand your case quickly and provide a solution. Sahil knows very well which point he has to highlight in the draft so people like us get the clarity on our own case and get the best result in the court. His knowledge is admirable as he has a good grip on different IPCs and Cr.P.C from our law system. I worked with him on my 498a petition and feeling quite confident after working with him. I will recommend everyone to talk to Sahil once to get the best result from your case. Now he is my good friend too. Thanks Sahil."

"I got in connect with Sahil sir few months back to seek his guidance for 125 CrPC, DV, and 498A. I must say it's really helpful and Sahil sir had drafted a strong WS for me. It was under the sheer guidance of Sahil sir that I could tackle my mediation in a positive manner."

"I am very thankful to Apaizers Mens Rights in supporting and helping me in my case and saved my lakhs of rupees.

"I got my DV interim maintenance appeal prepared from Apaizers Mens Rights for the session court. It is so nicely drafted and prepared with relevant case reference due to which the session court dismissed the interim maintenance order passed by the lower court. Then in my DV case, the opposite party filed for execution petition for the arrears of the maintenance amount 1.2 lakhs, the objections drafted by Sahil Sir with the relevant facts and case reference got accepted by the court and the court dismissed the OP execution petition."

Court Opinion - 498a quash Judgement 10.02.2022

After considering the contents of the FIR, and after examining the submissions made by the advocates for the parties it is undisputed that the petitioners are the permanent residents of Tirupati and the wife was residing along with her husband in Bengaluru.

The only allegation made against the petitioners is that in the month of November 2019, the petitioners came to visit the couple at the matrimonial home and secretly planned with the wife's husband, and raised a demand to the wife to clear all their debts by bringing dowry from the parental home. Therefore, she was subjected to cruelty.

It would now be right at this point to refer to the observations of the Apex Court in the landmark case of,

Kahkashan Kausar @ Sonam and Others v State of Bihar and Others,

wherein it was held that it wouldn’t be reasonable to rope in the family members into the matrimonial litigation to the rigors of a trial, i.e., general and omnibus allegations cannot be raised in a situation where the relatives of the wife's husband are forced to suffer the harshness of the trial.

It is also observed on several occasions that a criminal trial that results in an ultimate acquittal leaves the accused with significant scars and that such an exercise should be avoided.
