The lawyer has secured favorable judgments in cases involving partition of ancestral property, recovery of possession after illegal encroachment, and enforcement of mortgage agreements. A notable case saw the lawyer obtain a decree that clarified ownership of a commercial plot, enabling the client to secure financing and avoid protracted litigation.

Tax matters demand both legal insight and financial acumen. Prajakta Ghosh combines a deep grasp of the Income Tax Act with courtroom experience to represent individuals and businesses facing assessment orders, penalties, or disputes over exemptions. The lawyer can help clients interpret complex tax notices, file well‑structured objections, and, when necessary, file writ petitions challenging the jurisdiction of tax authorities. Recent successes include obtaining a reduction of a punitive tax penalty after demonstrating procedural lapses, and successfully defending a small business against a wrongful demand for Goods and Services Tax, saving the client substantial revenue.

The methodology centers on detailed fact‑finding, precise document analysis, and early identification of the strongest legal remedy. Prajakta Ghosh believes that a clear, evidence‑backed petition saves both time and expense. Clients appreciate the lawyer’s habit of updating them in plain language, explaining each step of the process, and offering realistic assessments of likely outcomes.
