A Legal Notice is a formal communication sent by one party to another to inform them about a legal obligation, dispute, or intention to take legal action. It serves as a final warning or opportunity to resolve a matter before proceeding to court. Legal notices are often the first step in enforcing rights under law and play a vital role in maintaining transparency and fairness in legal dealings.

PURPOSE OF A LEGAL NOTICE
A legal notice acts as an official intimation and gives the opposite party an opportunity to rectify their act, make payment, or resolve the issue before a formal lawsuit is filed. It ensures that due process is followed and helps in settling disputes amicably.

- Non-payment of dues or breach of contract
- Property disputes (tenant eviction, possession, or title issues)
- Cheque bounce under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act
- Employment or service-related disputes
