Criminal Litigation
Bail and anticipatory bail, quashing petitions, trial defence and economic offence matters.
The first seventy-two hours decide most criminal matters. Whether an FIR is registered, what it records, whether an arrest follows, and whether anticipatory bail is moved before or after it — these fix the shape of everything that comes later.
We act at every stage: anticipatory and regular bail, quashing under section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 (section 482 of the old Code), discharge, trial defence, and appeal. We appear in economic offence matters, including proceedings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002.
A criminal complaint filed to gain leverage in a civil dispute is a specific and common problem, and it is met with quashing — not by conceding the civil claim on the complainant's terms.
