Senior Advocate Prashant Singh Atal

Atal Law Office — the chamber of Sh. Prashant Singh Atal — has been practising at the Lucknow Bench of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad since 2001. Its brief is public-law: constitutional, criminal, service, and revenue matters, with a particular emphasis on the original side and on writ jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227.

Over two and a half decades the chamber has appeared in more than ten thousand writ petitions before the Hon'ble High Court, and in matters before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and other High Courts across the country. It has counselled the Union of India, the State of Uttar Pradesh, and several statutory and public-sector entities — Power Grid Corporation of India Limited and the Irrigation and Water Resource Department of the State among them.

The chamber's working register is plain: every matter is briefed from the record, authorities are traced to source, and concessions are made only where the law requires them. Written opinions are furnished in the same discipline — as considered documents, not advisories.

Day-to-day work is conducted from the principal office at Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, and the chamber at the High Court. Appearances at the Principal Seat of the High Court are conducted from the Prayagraj office; Supreme Court engagements, from the New Delhi office.
