Significantly, the partners appear before all courts and arbitral tribunals on commercial arbitration matters and have also undertaken some public interest cases. Recent case highlights have included issues related to the entry of women into the Sabarimala Hill shrine in Kerala and other cases related to establishing the law of limitation when it comes to the maximum period for filing a written statement against a counter-claim filed by a defendant.
