Recovery Suits

Recovery suits are filed to recover money legitimately owed under a loan, invoice, contract, or other financial arrangement, where the debtor has failed to make payment despite demand. Chambers of Advocate Yash Yadav advises creditors on the appropriate procedure for recovering such dues through the civil courts.

Depending on the nature of the debt and supporting documentation, we assist with summary suits under Order XXXVII of the Code of Civil Procedure, regular money recovery suits, and, where applicable, related insolvency or execution proceedings to enforce a decree once obtained.

Recovering what is owed to you

Timely and well-documented action improves the prospects of recovering outstanding dues, and we guide clients on the most suitable procedure for their claim.

From demand notices to execution of decrees, we guide clients through every stage of the recovery process.

Summary suits

Where the claim is based on a written contract or negotiable instrument, a summary suit under Order XXXVII CPC may allow for quicker resolution.

Execution of decrees

Once a decree for recovery is passed, we assist clients in pursuing its execution against the debtor's assets in accordance with law.

Understanding recovery process

Recovery proceedings depend significantly on the nature and strength of the underlying documentation supporting the claim.

Pre-suit demand notice

A formal demand notice is often issued before filing suit, giving the debtor an opportunity to settle before litigation begins.

Choosing the right procedure

We assess whether a summary suit, regular suit, or another recovery mechanism is most suitable based on the documentation available.

A documentation-first approach

Recovery matters depend heavily on the strength of supporting records, so we begin by carefully organising invoices, agreements, and correspondence.
