Cyber Matters “I consulted Adv. Aishwarya Pandey, Sumanjari Legal Chambers, regarding a cyber law case. She listened to the complete facts patiently and guided us about the appropriate legal course. The matter was handled seriously and professionally, and the Court passed an order in our favour. I am satisfied with the way the case was handled and would definitely recommend her for legal matters.”

Rera Matters “Challenging Unilateral BBA Clauses & One-Sided Penalty Rates
"Struck down the unfair BBA penalty clause and recovered full compensation for delayed delivery."
“When I was reviewing my builder-buyer agreement for my flat in Sector 140A, Noida, I didn't realize how predatory the terms were until possession was delayed by over 3 years. The agreement stated that if I defaulted on payments, I owed the builder 18% compound interest. But if the builder delayed possession, they only owed me a paltry ₹5 per sq. ft. per month—less than 1.5% a year.
We hired Sumanjari to challenge this completely one-sided contract before UP RERA. Their legal team argued that such clauses violate the principles of equity and constitute an unfair trade practice under the RERA framework.
Sumanjari successfully convinced the authority to apply reciprocal interest rates. The RERA bench ordered the developer to pay the standard State Bank of India MCLR + 2% delayed interest rate on my total deposited amount rather than the token sum mentioned in the contract. This made a difference of several lakhs in my final recovery settlement. Brilliant legal acumen when fighting institutional builders.””
Rera Matters “Forced the developer to fix severe seepage and structural flaws after possession."
“We took possession of our apartment in Sector 143, Noida in 2022. Within six months, heavy water seepage started spreading through two bedrooms, and major plaster cracks appeared in the balcony. We sent dozens of emails to the maintenance desk and developer, but they kept brushing it off as ‘routine monsoon dampness.’
When the developer refused to respond to a formal legal notice, we approached Sumanjari. They explained our statutory rights under Section 14(3) of the RERA Act—which explicitly mandates that builders must repair structural defects free of cost for up to 5 years post-possession.
Sumanjari prepared a comprehensive complaint backed by an independent civil engineer’s inspection report. UP RERA issued direct orders to the developer to complete the waterproofing and structural repairs within 30 days and awarded us compensation for the distress caused. Highly professional firm that truly knows how to hold evasive developers accountable.””
Rera Matters “Double Allotment Fraud & Title Deed Clearance
"Secured legal title and possession after discovering the builder had double-allotted our flat."
“We had booked a unit along Yamuna Expressway, paying over 80% of the cost in milestone installments. However, when we went for a site inspection to check the finishing work, we were horrified to find another family carrying out interior work on our flat. It turned out the developer’s sales team had fraudulently allotted the exact same flat number to two different buyers under separate agreement drafts.
The builder offered vague promises to shift us to a lower-floor unit in an unconstructed block, but refused to refund our money or give a clear timeline. Desperate for a legal solution, we approached Sumanjari.
Sumanjari immediately filed a petition before UP RERA under Section 11(4) for breach of developer obligations and fraud. They submitted complete banking records, allotment logs, and timestamped payment receipts. The legal team secured an urgent order directing the developer to provide an upgraded, fully constructed unit in the same block without any additional cost, along with penalty compensation for the mental agony caused.
Sumanjari handled our high-stress fraud case with extreme precision and speed. We couldn’t have navigated this legal nightmare without their team!””
Rera Matters “Saved over ₹7.5 Lakhs in bogus hidden charges and arbitrary area inflation demanded at possession."
“When our builder finally issued the offer of possession letter for our 3BHK in Sector 128, Noida, it came with a massive financial blow. The developer added an extra ₹7.8 Lakhs to the final demand note, claiming that the 'Super Area' had expanded by 9% during construction. On top of that, they slapped mandatory advance maintenance fees for 2 years along with exorbitant external electrification (EDC/IDC) top-up charges.
The developer threatened that if we didn't pay the entire inflated sum within 30 days, our allotment would be canceled and holding charges would apply. We immediately consulted Sumanjari.
Sumanjari scrutinized our original allotment letter, the architect's floor plan, and the RERA registration details. They demonstrated before UP RERA that the developer failed to provide any certified engineering justification for the super-area expansion and that carpet area remained identical. UP RERA issued a clear order striking down the arbitrary escalation, restraining the builder from charging holding fees, and directing possession upon payment of strictly legitimate dues.
Sumanjari stood by us when the builder tried to use high-handed pressure tactics, they are absolute masters of RERA consumer rights!”
Rera Matters “Illegal Possession Without OC & Incomplete Promised Amenities
"Forced the builder to obtain the final Occupancy Certificate and complete long-pending club amenities."
“We moved into our flat in Noida Extension under a 'fit-out possession' offer back in early 2022. For over two years, the builder kept stalling on obtaining the final Occupancy Certificate (OC) from the Greater Noida Authority, leaving hundreds of residents without legal title deeds or proper electricity connections. On top of that, the promised clubhouse, sports complex, and secondary lift had been left as incomplete concrete shells.
When the developer demanded maintenance charges while ignoring these pending facilities, the residents' representative committee engaged Sumanjari.
Sumanjari filed a comprehensive complaint before UP RERA under Sections 11(4) and 19 of the RERA Act, which make offering possession without a valid OC illegal. The legal team demonstrated how the builder was violating the original sanctioned brochure promises and collecting unauthorized charges. RERA issued strict directions requiring the developer to clear local authority dues to procure the OC within 90 days, finish all common amenities, and refrain from collecting full maintenance until all promised facilities were functional.
Sumanjari’s sharp approach protected our legal rights and property market value when we felt completely stranded!””
Service Matters “Pension, Gratuity & Withheld Retiral Benefits
"Secured my full pension and arrears after two years of arbitrary administrative delay."
“After retiring as a Senior Section Engineer in 2022, my full pension, gratuity, and leave encashment were arbitrarily withheld by the department citing an old, concluded inquiry. For nearly 18 months, I made endless trips to administrative offices in Lucknow, receiving nothing but bureaucratic excuses.
A former colleague recommended Sumanjari. During our initial consultation, their legal team reviewed my service record and clear discharge papers, pointing out that withholding retiral benefits without a pending judicial charge was completely illegal under service rules.
Sumanjari filed an Original Application (O.A.) before the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Lucknow Bench. They argued the case forcefully, citing binding Supreme Court precedents on pension as a constitutional right, not a bounty. The Tribunal ruled in our favor, ordering the department to release my full retiral dues along with 8% interest for the delayed period. Deeply grateful to the team for restoring my financial independence and peace of mind.””
Service Matters “Secured compassionate appointment for my family after 3 years of administrative delay."
“Following the tragic demise of my father, who served as a Senior Administrative Clerk in a state department in Prayagraj, my application for a compassionate appointment under the Dying-in-Harness Rules was kept hanging for over three years due to minor clerical objections and objections regarding my educational qualifications.
Sumanjari stepped in and took up our case. They scrutinized the state recruitment rules, issued a formal legal representation, and subsequently filed a petition before the High Court at Prayagraj.
The legal team effectively argued that compassionate appointments cannot be rendered meaningless by endless administrative delays. The court issued a time-bound mandamus directing the department to issue my appointment letter within 30 days. Eternally grateful to Sumanjari for securing our family’s livelihood.””

Rera Matters “Unauthorized Layout Plan Alteration & Green Area Protection
"Forced the builder to restore our open green space and scrap illegal extra floor construction."
“We purchased a 3BHK in a premium project along Golf Course Extension Road, Gurugram. We chose this project specifically because the initial brochure and layout plan showed a 2-acre central park and open sports court in front of our tower. However, as the project neared completion in late 2023, the developer quietly altered the layout—attempting to build an unauthorized 14-story commercial studio tower directly on the designated green zone.
When we confronted the sales team, they claimed the builder had the right to modify plans under clauses hidden in the Builder-Buyer Agreement (BBA). That is when the buyer association engaged Sumanjari.
Sumanjari immediately filed a complaint before Haryana RERA (HRERA, Gurugram) under Section 14(2) of the RERA Act, which strictly prohibits any structural or layout alterations without the prior written consent of two-thirds of the allottees. Sumanjari secured a stay order against the new construction, forced the developer to submit the original sanctioned plan, and got an order directing full restoration of the central green park. Outstanding expertise on developer BBA clauses and HRERA compliance!””
Service Matters “Reinstated in service after wrongful termination during the probation period.
“I was appointed as an Assistant Engineer in a state power corporation, stationed in Kanpur. Just two months before completing my probation period, my services were abruptly terminated without any prior notice or departmental inquiry under the guise of an 'unsatisfactory performance' order.
Feeling completely helpless, I engaged Adv Jitendra Tiwari (Sumanjari & Advocates to challenge the order. Their legal team identified that the termination was stigmatic in nature and violated natural justice principles. They filed a Writ Petition before the Allahabad High Court, citing core service jurisprudence on probationary rights.
The High Court stayed the termination order and subsequently quashed it, directing the department to reinstate me with full back wages and continuity of service. Sumanjari saved my career from an unjust administrative decision!””
Property Matters “Subvention Scheme Recovery & Bank EMI Protection
"Stopped bank harassment and recovered illegal EMI deductions after builder subvention default."
“We bought a 3BHK in Sector 150, Noida under a 10:90 subvention scheme back in 2019. The agreement clearly stated that the developer would pay all Pre-EMIs to the bank until the handover of possession. However, in mid-2023, the developer stopped paying the bank, and without warning, the housing finance company started auto-deducting ₹68,000 every month directly from my savings account. My CIBIL score plummeted, and I was getting collection calls daily for a flat that wasn't even half-constructed.
We brought our case to Advocate Jitendra Tiwari (Sumanjari & co advocates) Their legal team immediately filed an emergency petition before UP RERA, seeking restraining orders against both the developer and the bank under the Tripartite Agreement terms.
Sumanjari cited key judicial precedents regarding developer subvention defaults and obtained a crucial interim order: the bank was directed to cease all EMI recovery actions from me, restore my credit score report, and recover the accrued interest directly from the developer’s escrow accounts. If you are stuck in a subvention scam in Noida or Gurgaon, Sumanjari is hands down the best firm to protect your hard-earned money.””

Family & Divorce Matters “Mutual Consent Divorce & Alimony Settlement
"Handled a painful chapter of my life with utmost dignity, speed, and discretion."
“Navigating a matrimonial dispute is emotionally draining, but Sumanjari’s team ensured the entire process went as smoothly as possible. After deciding to part ways mutually, my ex-spouse and I were worried about long legal delays and back-and-forth court appearances in Lucknow.
From our very first consultation at their office, the legal team focused on practical mediation rather than fueling unnecessary conflict. They drafted a comprehensive Settlement Deed covering alimony, return of Streedhan, and a hassle-free Mutual Consent Divorce petition under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act.
Thanks to their meticulous documentation and professional representation before the Lucknow Family Court, the statutory six-month waiver period was granted efficiently without any administrative roadblocks. Deeply grateful for their guidance and empathetic approach during a tough time.””
