Money Recovery Litigation in Delhi Courts
Recovering money through courts in Delhi requires choosing the right mechanism, filing in the correct court and moving fast before the debtor disperses assets. RSLC assesses each case and selects the fastest and most effective route, whether a summary suit, commercial suit, IBC application or SARFAESI action, to maximise your recovery.
Order 37 Summary Suits
Fast-track recovery for claims based on negotiable instruments, written contracts and guarantees. The defendant bears the burden of obtaining leave to defend. Decrees can be obtained quickly where no genuine defence exists.
Money Decree and Execution
Filing execution petitions and pursuing enforcement of money decrees through attachment of salary, bank accounts, movable and immovable property, and arrest in exceptional cases of wilful default.
Attachment Before Judgment
Applications under Order 38 to attach the debtor's property or accounts before a decree is passed, where there is evidence that the debtor is likely to dispose of assets to defeat recovery.
SARFAESI Proceedings
Advisory and representation in proceedings under the SARFAESI Act for secured creditors, including enforcement of security interest, possession of mortgaged property and DRAT appeals.
IBC Applications Against Corporate Defaulters
Filing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process applications before the NCLT for financial and operational creditors. The IBC is a powerful tool that compels settlement far more effectively than a civil suit alone.
Personal Guarantee Enforcement
Recovery proceedings against personal guarantors of loans and contracts, including independent suits against guarantors, Section 95 IBC proceedings and civil execution against personal assets.
Getting You the Money, Not Just the Paper
Asset Tracing Strategy
A decree is worthless if the debtor has no attachable assets. Before filing, we assess the debtor's asset position and recommend attachment applications where dispersal risk is high.
Right Forum, Right Mechanism
Order 37, commercial suit, IBC or SARFAESI. The choice of mechanism dramatically affects speed and outcome. We pick the right tool for each recovery, not the same route for every case.
IBC Leverage
An IBC petition triggers a moratorium and threatens management control of corporate debtors. The prospect of insolvency often produces settlements that years of civil litigation could not achieve.

Recovery Suit Questions Answered
What is an Order 37 summary suit and when should I use it?
A summary suit under Order 37 CPC is a fast-track recovery mechanism where the defendant has no automatic right to defend. It applies where your claim is based on a negotiable instrument such as a cheque or promissory note, a written contract for a liquidated sum, or a guarantee. The defendant must apply for leave to defend and satisfy the court that they have a real defence. Where no genuine defence exists, the court passes a decree quickly. Summary suits in commercial courts in Delhi move considerably faster than regular civil suits.
How can I attach the debtor's property or bank accounts?
You can apply for attachment before judgment under Order 38 CPC during a pending suit. You must show the court that the defendant is about to dishonestly or fraudulently dispose of or remove their property to evade a potential decree. If satisfied, the court freezes the identified assets pending the final decree. This is an extremely powerful remedy but requires prompt action and strong supporting evidence of asset dissipation risk. A recovery suit lawyer in Delhi files this alongside or immediately after the main suit.
Can I recover money from a company using the IBC?
Yes. If you are a financial creditor owed Rs 1 crore or more, or an operational creditor owed Rs 1 lakh or more, you can file for Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process before the NCLT against the defaulting company. The IBC is a powerful tool because admission of the petition triggers a moratorium and threatens the existing management's control through the appointment of an Insolvency Professional. Many corporate debtors settle their dues within days of receiving the IBC notice to avoid these consequences.
What documents do I need to file a money recovery suit in Delhi?
You need the original agreement or loan document creating the debt, receipts or bank statements showing payments made, invoices raised, correspondence acknowledging the outstanding debt, and any security documents such as cheques or promissory notes. A written acknowledgment of the debt signed within three years resets the limitation period. The stronger your documentary record, the faster the recovery. A recovery suit lawyer in Delhi assesses your documents before advising on the right strategy and forum.
