About Advocate Kumar Kaustubh, Advocate in Shimla
BBA LLB (Hons.), Christ University, Bangalore | Member, H.P. High Court Bar Association | Standing Counsel to Seven Organisations
Kumar Kaustubh is a criminal and civil litigation advocate practising in Shimla, enrolled with the Bar Council of Himachal Pradesh and a member of the H.P. High Court Bar Association. He studied BBA LLB (Hons.) at Christ University, Bangalore, which gave him an early grounding in both business and law — useful when a case sits at the intersection of the two, as many corporate and banking disputes do.
What clients tend to notice first is that he doesn’t oversell a case. Whether the matter is a routine bail application or a complicated writ petition, he’d rather give someone an honest read of where they stand than a comfortable one.
Professional Journey
Kaustubh built his practice around two things: preparation and consistency. Arguing before the H.P. High Court — the highest court in the state — leaves very little room for a case that hasn’t been properly researched, and that’s shaped how he approaches every filing, from a routine anticipatory bail application to a constitutional writ.
His empanelment as Standing Counsel for seven organisations — Bharti Airtel, HRTC, HPSFDC, HPSCARDB, HPBSMDA, HPMFDC, and the H.P. State Civil Supplies Corporation — came relatively early in his career, and reflects the kind of sustained, institutional trust that isn’t built overnight.
Over the years his practice has grown to cover bail and anticipatory bail matters, FIR quashing petitions, criminal trials, writ petitions, consumer disputes, service law cases, and family law proceedings — essentially, the full range of litigation an individual or organisation in Himachal Pradesh is likely to need.
