In this office every day is a new day with a new case or a new court.
There are variety of cases ranging from criminal cases, civil cases, co-operative societies disputes, family disputes etc.

I can Say that Whatever i know about this legal field its just because of sir. He gave us classes and taught us every single thing . I have completed 14 months internship till now and without any hesitation i can say that it was my best internship experience. Thank you Sir.
And People vomiting shit of their mouth for sir all i can say for you is that dear you dont have any existence and will never have any.. You can just live like an anonymous, May anonymity covers your life and you die Being Anonymous. Thats alll i can say for person like you.
Please dont ever go there..specially girls be aware
Agreed ! Caution advised !
y so?
Hey thankyou for the information. May I know how much stipend one will get for one month?
Thanks
if you are a girl he will give as much you will ask for as he is really up for undue favours to the girls. Please if you are a girl don’t go there. because firstly he will do really good deeds but slowly and steady he gives signal for an advantage. if you are a guy working under him and there are girls who is also assisting him then forget boy about your hardwork because anyways he will favour only the girls working under him.
i will tell both the genders to stay from his office because he is one advocate who will give you a nightmare and you will actually face the real reality of this field.
