Malda is the gateway between North Bengal and the rest of the State, and its business, land and family disputes often have links to Siliguri and Kolkata. The firm’s advocates act in matters from Malda district before the courts at Malda and, on appeal, before the Calcutta High Court. Which High Court bench hears a Malda matter depends on the notification in force, so the firm confirms it before filing.
