Our Criminal Law Practice Areas
1. Regular Bail Applications
When a person is arrested, securing bail at the earliest opportunity is critical — both to preserve freedom and to allow proper preparation of the defence. Under Section 436–437 CrPC (now BNSS), we file bail applications before the appropriate Magistrate or Sessions Court. We present compelling arguments covering the nature of the offence, the accused's criminal antecedents, ties to the community, and flight risk — maximising chances of bail being granted promptly.
2. Anticipatory Bail (Section 439 CrPC / 483 BNSS)
When a person reasonably apprehends arrest in a non-bailable offence, anticipatory bail is sought for pre-arrest protection before the competent court. We prepare and file anticipatory bail applications under the requested section wording — Section 439 CrPC / 483 BNSS — and represent clients before the Sessions Court or High Court with focused arguments for immediate protection.
3. FIR Quashing (Section 482 CrPC / High Court)
Where an FIR is filed with mala fide intent, on false facts, without jurisdiction, or in cases where a lawful compromise has been reached between parties, the High Court has inherent power under Section 482 CrPC (now Section 528 BNSS) to quash the FIR entirely. FIR quashing petitions are one of our strongest practice areas — we have successfully gotten numerous FIRs quashed before the Delhi High Court in matrimonial, commercial and other disputes.
4. Dowry & Section 498A Cases
Section 498A IPC (cruelty by husband or in-laws) is one of the most frequently filed — and frequently misused — criminal provisions in India. We represent:
- Complainants: Genuine victims of dowry harassment and domestic cruelty seeking justice and protection
- Accused: Persons falsely implicated in 498A cases, seeking bail, anticipatory bail, and ultimately acquittal or FIR quashing
5. Fraud & Cheating Cases (Section 420 IPC)
Criminal cases of cheating, breach of trust (Section 406 IPC) and criminal misappropriation commonly arise in business and personal dealings. We handle both prosecution — ensuring victims get justice — and defence representation for persons wrongly accused in commercial disputes that have been criminalised.
6. Sessions Court Trials
When serious offences are committed to Sessions Court for full trial, expert courtroom advocacy becomes critical. We handle complete Sessions Court trial representation — from framing of charges to final arguments — appearing at Tis Hazari, Saket, Patiala House, Karkardooma and Rohini Sessions Courts in Delhi.
7. Criminal Appeals
We file and argue criminal appeals against acquittal orders (on behalf of complainants) and conviction orders (on behalf of convicted persons) before the Sessions Court and Delhi High Court. An appeal may be your last opportunity to correct a serious miscarriage of justice — we pursue it with the seriousness it deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do not ignore a police notice or summons — but equally, do not appear before police or make any statement without first consulting an advocate. Contact us immediately. We will review the notice, advise on the legal implications, accompany you to the police station if required, and ensure your rights are fully protected throughout any police interaction. Many situations that appear threatening can be resolved without arrest when handled correctly.
Police cannot cancel an FIR on their own once registered. The remedy is either: (a) the accused files an FIR quashing petition before the High Court under Section 482 CrPC/528 BNSS, or (b) after investigation, the police file a closure report (FR) before the Magistrate. Quashing is available where the FIR is filed on false facts, with mala fide intent, or where a genuine settlement has been reached between parties in a private dispute.
Under Article 22 of the Constitution and Section 57 CrPC, no person arrested can be kept in police custody for more than 24 hours without being produced before the nearest Magistrate. The Magistrate can then extend remand in police custody up to a maximum of 15 days (in most offences). After the initial 15 days, the accused can only be remanded to judicial custody (jail), not police custody. If this right is violated, a Habeas Corpus petition can be filed immediately in the High Court.
