Litigation in Malayalam
വ്യവഹാരം (vyavahaaram) is the legal word: a dispute carried into court, a suit, litigation as a process. Lawyers and court orders use it, and its root sense of dealing or transaction still shows through. വാദം (vaadam) is argument and pleading, the contest of words rather than the case on file.
Discourse, dealing, dispute, litigation.
ഭൂമിയുടെ വ്യവഹാരം ഇപ്പോൾ കോടതിയിലാണ്.
bhoomiyude vyavahaaram ippol kodathiyilaanu.
The land dispute is now in court.
