About Rouse Avenue Courts
Rouse Avenue is one of the newer court complexes. It is best known for designated special courts (for example CBI cases and cases involving MPs and MLAs). It is not usually the forum for ordinary divorce, maintenance or custody cases, so please confirm the correct court for your matter before filing. Location: Rouse Avenue, near ITO.
Family and matrimonial matters
Rouse Avenue is mainly associated with designated special courts. Ordinary matrimonial cases are generally filed in the family court with jurisdiction, which is usually in another complex. If you have received papers from Rouse Avenue, or you are unsure, send them to us and we will check the correct forum.
Court marriage is not done in this court
A “court marriage” under the Special Marriage Act is solemnised before the Marriage Officer (the SDM in Delhi), not before a judge. Advocates practising here can still help you with it. See court marriage.
