Civil Law Service

Civil law is a part of the legal system that relates to individuals or personal matters, focusing on resolving disputes between private parties through legal processes. Unlike criminal law which deals with offenses against the state, civil law addresses private rights and remedies.

Our civil law services in Chennai cover a wide range of disputes including contract issues, property matters, personal injury claims, and family disputes, ensuring your rights are protected through proper legal channels.

Civil Law vs. Criminal Law

Understanding the difference between civil and criminal law is essential for proper legal representation:

Nature of Cases Civil law deals with disputes between individuals/organizations, while criminal law deals with offenses against the state/society.
Parties Involved In civil cases, parties are plaintiff vs defendant. In criminal cases, it's the state vs the accused.
Objective Civil law aims to compensate the injured party, while criminal law aims to punish the offender.
Burden of Proof Civil cases require "preponderance of evidence," while criminal cases require "proof beyond reasonable doubt."
