This is a formal complaint regarding the unethical and unprofessional conduct of the lawyer Rajgopal Sripathi.

[1] Pocketed 10 Lakhs given to him for a case in Vizag

In 2016/2017 I had retained his services to file a case in Vizag against a mobile app developer
named Vasupili Rambabu. I had paid this app developer a large sum of money but he never
developed the apps he had promised.

Rajgopal Sripathi stated that to file this case I needed to pay him a total of 10 lakhs for his
professional fees (3 Lakhs) and for the fees that were to be paid to the Vizag court (7 lakhs).
After three years of waiting, I came to the conclusion that he never filed the case. He simply
pocketed the entire amount.

He never paid the Vizag court and continuously lied to me via email, phone and in person
about the filing of the case and the progress of the case. He led me to believe for three years
that the case was in progress, but the truth is that he never filed the case.

I have uploaded all of his emails and my bank records on dropbox for you.

[2] Lost an important document for a villa case at the NCDRC

In January of 2015 I had purchased a villa (house) in Hyderabad. I had paid a builder named
Masood Hasan a sum of 123 lakhs to construct this villa. He had promised me that the villa
would be ready by August of 2015.

Nearly one year went by and the villa was not ready. Finally in June of 2016 when the villa was
ready for handover, Masood stated in writing that he would only handover the villa if I paid him
an extra 10 lakhs. He stated that an extra 300 SFT was built and therefore I was responsible to
pay him 10 lakhs for that extra 300 SFT. This was a lie, and this was also his third extortion
attempt.

So I hired Rajgopal Sripathi to file a case against Masood. The case was for extortion, delay in
handover and also for numerous deficiencies in construction since many of the things
promised in writing were never properly built in the villa.

I have now discovered that Sripathi consulted with Masood back in 2016 and took a bribe from
Masood to purposely misplace that extortion letter and not file it with the case against Masood.

In addition to these above two issues, Rajgoplal Sripathi has engaged in the following unethical
and unprofessional conduct:

[3] Took a bribe from a realtor to lose important documents for a check bounce case

In August of 2016 I had made a deal with a real estate agent in Hyderabad named Lakshman
Konatham. I had given hime a deposit for a property I wished to purchase. I gave him 89 lakhs
in total. Later this realtor was unable to provide the required documents for the property so I
cancelled the deal.

At the time I had given him the 89 lakhs, he had given me two checks worth 40 lakhs each.
This was a ‘guarantee’ that in case the deal was not completed I would get my deposit back.
When I went to cash the checks, the checks bounced.

I then approached Rajgopal Sripathi to file a check bounce case.
Rajgoplal Sripathi sent a notice to Lakhsman Konatham that his checks had bounced.
Konatham refused the courier and thus the notice was delivered back to Sripathi.

Three years went by and the case went nowhere. So I asked Rajgopal to give me all the original
documents for the case so that I could give the case to another lawyer.

He gave me the original documents, but missing were the original envelopes inside which the
notice was sent to Lakhsman Konatham that his checks had bounced. Also missing was the
card that the post office gives to the sender, notifying that the courier has been indeed
delivered.

What happened is Konatham paid a bribe to Sripathi to purposely lose the case. As a result
Sripathi sold the original envelopes and the delivery notification card from the post office to
Konatham for an undisclosed sum.

When the case was finally presented to the judge in 2019 with the help of another lawyer, the
judge stated that our documents were incomplete and hence the case was disqualified.

[4] Took a bribe to write a false legal opinion about a property

In January of 2017, I was in the process of purchasing a commercial property in Hyderabad. I
spoke with the owner of the building, a man named Viswa Mandalapu. He gave me the
documents and I then gave those documents to Rajgopal Sripathi for review. I asked Sripathi
to provide a written legal opinion with regard to the property and wether the property was
appropriate for purchase.

I have found out that back in January of 2017 Sripathi took a bribe from Mandalapu and wrote
a false legal opinion stating in the legal opinion that the property was ‘clear and marketable’.
I found out several months after purchasing the property that in January of 2017 that property
was mortgaged with Andhra Bank and therefore could not be sold to someone else.

As a result now I am facing tremendous difficult in trying to sell this property and exit this
nightmare.

These four issues detail the nature of this man Rajgopal Sripathi. He is a bribe-taking criminal
pretending to be a lawyer in Hyderabad. He should and must be disbarred from the practice of
law in India. Please take appropriate and aggressive action against him.

In the NCDRC case filed in 2016 by Rajgopal Sripathi on my behalf:

Rajgopal Sripathi (advocate) took a bribe from Masood Hasan of Countryside Realtors - the man who I filed the case against.

Rajgopal Sripathi then purposely lost an important document in which Masood stated that I must pay him an extra ten lakhs for the handover of my property.

Rajgopal Sripathi also filed the wrong receipts in my case file with the NCDRC. Instead of filing the receipts that Masood Hasan gave to me for the villa I purchased. he filed receipts that Masood Hasan had given to another buyer named Murali Krishna!

I paid Masood 1.28 CR for the property. But the receipts Rajgopal filed with the NCDRC are for only about four lakhs that Murali Krishna paid to Masood back in 2011.

Rajgopal Sripathi is a criminal pretending to be a lawyer in Hyderabad. He takes legal fees from you and then he will go to speak with the other party (that the case is filed against) and take a bribe from that person.

I will continue to post updates about my case and about the fraud / unethical / criminal behaviour of this Rajgopal Sripathi.

——-

Rajgopal Sripathi continues to send me threatening emails, warning me that if I do not take down this complaint that he will sue me and take legal action against me. This vile criminal is truly the scum of Indian society.
