Sharan Jain · Advocate
Advocate.
Listener.
Citizen.
I represent clients across Bangalore, Karnataka, and India in matters that demand both rigour and judgment — from civil and criminal disputes to corporate, family, property, and Public Interest Litigation. This is where I publish my work, take questions, and answer real problems in public.
First, have a little fun.
Three quick games. No sign-up, no email needed — just a way to stretch your brain about Indian law while you're here.

A bit about me.
Beyond the courtroom — what I read, what I love, what I tend to be skeptical of.
I'm an advocate based in Bangalore. I appear in District, Sessions, Consumer, Family, and High Court forums, and I run my practice with one principle: every brief gets the same attention, whether it's a high-stakes commercial dispute or a citizen with a PIL.
Off the clock I'm a slow reader, a cricket watcher, and a coffee optimist. I believe most legal problems start as communication problems — and that the law works best when it's translated, not performed.

On the record.
A long-form conversation about the system, from inside it.
"India's Broken Legal System? Sharan Jain Reveals All"
A long-form conversation on how India's courts actually work — backlog, procedure, what gets in the way of justice, and where reform is realistic. A frank read on the system from someone who argues inside it every week.
Watch on YouTube↗A Public Interest Litigation you care about?
If you've spotted a public-interest issue worth taking up, tell me about it. Drop a brief, attach any documents via a Google Drive / Dropbox link, and I'll take a look. Not every issue becomes a PIL — but the conversation always starts with someone caring enough to write in.
If you're an NGO and need help — write in.
I take on a small number of pro-bono engagements every year, usually with NGOs working on access, rights, or environment. Tell me about the work and what kind of help you need.
Free Friday Consultation.
A weekly slot for real problems. This is not advertising and not a marketing offer — it's a public initiative to make the law more accessible. Selected questions are answered openly so others dealing with the same situation can learn too.
Submit your question
Tell the assistant below what's burning. The more specific, the better — vague problems get vague answers.
Selected problems get picked
Every Friday I pick real, urgent, instructive cases from what's come in. Not everything can be answered — but every submission is read.

Ask me (almost) anything.
Random legal curiosity? Career question? Why a particular section says what it says? Drop it in. I read everything — and reply when I can, in the order they arrive. Some questions get long answers, some get a one-liner, and the very best ones might end up in a video.

A few common questions.
Tap a question to open the answer.
Is the Friday Consultation actually free?
Yes. It's not a marketing offer or a discount — it's a weekly access-to-justice initiative. Selected questions are answered openly so other people facing the same situation can learn too. There's no fee, no obligation, and no representation guaranteed.
What kinds of cases do you take?
Civil, criminal, corporate, commercial, family, property, cheque-bounce (Section 138 NI Act), consumer protection, employment, NRI matters, and Public Interest Litigation. I appear in District, Sessions, Consumer, Family, and the Karnataka High Court.
How do pro bono and PIL submissions work?
NGOs working on access, rights, or environment can write in via the Pro Bono form above. Citizens with a public-interest issue can use the PIL form. Every submission is read; not every issue becomes a case, but the conversation always starts with someone caring enough to write in.
Will what I share through the forms stay private?
Yes. The forms don't send data to any server — they open your own email app with the information prefilled, which you then send to me directly. Anything you share is treated with the confidentiality expected of an advocate. If your question is picked for a public answer, any identifying detail is removed and the situation is described in general terms.
How quickly will I hear back?
Court schedules don't always cooperate, so honest answer: it varies. Time-sensitive matters (bail, urgent hearings, expiring deadlines) get prioritised. For everything else, please allow a few days. If you haven't heard in a week, write again — emails do sometimes get buried.
Got something worth saying?
Email's the cleanest way in. Every message is read; replies depend on schedule, but the genuine ones always make it to the top of the pile.
