Sharlex Law LLP keeps an office in Kurla West, at Bismillah Building, Takiyaward, directly opposite the Kurla Metropolitan Magistrate's Court. Matters from Kurla are heard at the Kurla Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, the Family Court at Bandra and the City Civil Court, and cover property and society disputes, Section 138 cheque bounce complaints, criminal defence and matrimonial proceedings.
Kurla is where the firm started, and the Kurla West office remains its base for magistrate work on the central line. It sits directly opposite the Kurla Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, which is where most criminal complaints and Section 138 cheque bounce matters arising in Kurla, Chunabhatti, Nehru Nagar and Tilak Nagar are filed.
The locality's older chawls, MHADA colonies and redeveloped buildings throw up a particular kind of property question — who holds title, what the society's records say, whether a development agreement binds a member. Those matters are run from this office alongside family proceedings before the Bandra Family Court and civil suits at the City Civil Court.
